Ten Months Old!

Charlotte loves to be on her feet!

Nine Month Appt.

Charlotte had her 9 month physical today and she is in perfect health. She weighs 20lbs 3oz (70th percentile) and is 27 inches long (25th percentile).

She has two top teeth coming through for a total of four. She has learned how to clap and is doing it ALL the time. So cute!!

Perfect blue eyes!

Charlotte had an eye exam today and she passed with flying colors! She didn't like the eyedrops, but other than that she was a good little patient!

Poor baby!

Charlotte has had a runny, stuffy nose for the past few days, but has been sleeping, eating and acting normal. Last night she woke up at 11, which surprised me because she has been sleeping 11-12 hours straight through the night. Anyway, last night when she woke she felt very warm so I took her temperature but it was normal. As I was rocking her back to sleep, she threw up all over me. She's never thrown up before and has been a very healthy baby. After that she went back to sleep and woke up at 8am and was all smiles! I'm thinking it was something she ate that upset her stomach, but not sure what.

Nine Months Old!

Thank you Auntie Christine for the beautiful tree and adorable pj's!

My how she has grown! This past month:

• Charlotte is saying "mama" and "dada"
• Responds to her name
• She is rolling over from belly to back
• Scoots across our wood floors
• She loves finger foods and feeding herself. She will eat just about anything, including prunes! She has had puffs, cheerios, toast, cheese, yogurt, banana, and pasta. She has started to use a pincer grasp when eating. She also likes to take a drink of water and spit some out. What fun!
• Favorite things include playing ball, holding and turning pages of books, music, dancing, being outside, riding in the front of the shopping cart, raspberries on the belly, bathtime, kisses from our dog, eating, and let's not forget napkins and the remote control!

A Very Merry Christmas!

She knows right what to do!Christmas was spent at home this year and we had a wonderful day. After Charlotte's three hour nap, we enjoyed a delicious ham dinner with the grandparents and then Charlotte and Morgan opened their gifts. Charlotte did a great job with all of her presents. She seemed to enjoy her baby doll the most and Morgan enjoyed his tennis balls and treats!

Tonight was our 31st annual Christmas party. It was also Charlotte's first time meeting Santa and she did very well. She grabbed his beard and then went for the gift! And not one tear!!

Snow!

Charlotte enjoyed sledding in our first snowfall of the season.

Holiday Fun!

Charlotte's very first parade!! Limerick held it's 4th annual Christmas parade. She saw Santa, Frosty, Rudolph, firetrucks and loved every second of it!

We then went and picked out our Christmas tree. It's going to be a very Merry Christmas!!
