Eden walks more. She has started to stand up on her own now. She also loves walking towards you, and then she changes direction at the last second, right before you grab her. It’s like she thinks she invented the idea of the feint. She just thinks it’s so funny, and will just laugh at herself. 🙂 She also talks more. She’ll walk right up to you and start babbling and babbling. She gets such an intense look on her face, like she is saying something so important. And her “words” are more rough at that time. At other times they are more sing-songy, like when she is talking to the books. She is so much fun to watch right now.

Eden is a little too courageous out in public. She thinks it’s fine to wander away out of sight of Mama and Papi. It scares Mama. Maybe she will develop a little more fear before she starts walking too fast. The other day I was in line for lunch. A guy was interacting with Eden. He was our age. And then she put out her arms for him to hold her. The rest of the ten minutes I was in line, she had him hold her and wouldn’t come back! He was quite a bit taller than Chad or me. I think she was appreciating the new view.
