10 Months Old!

Charlotte Grace! How are you 10 months old already? You will be 1 before I can blink my eyes!

According to my at home measurements you weigh about 23 pounds and are about 27 inches long. You wear mostly 9-12 month clothing, but there are a few 18 month things that fit also. You're wearing a size 3 diaper still, but when this box is gone I think you'll be moving up to size 4.

 You are still sporting 2 teeth on bottom and 4 on top. You're going strong with your two words, "dada" and "bye bye". You don't have any "tricks" but it's not because we haven't tried! We've worked on arms up, waving, and saying mama and juju among other things, but you just look at us and laugh.

You are the speediest crawler I've ever seen. You can get from point a to point b in no time! You are pulling up on everything and cruising around the furniture. I would be so shocked if you are not walking by the time you turn one.

 Your favorite place to play is in the bottom drawer in the kitchen where all of Julia's plates and sippy cups are. You empty it out and bang all the plates on the floor and try to drink out of all the sippy cups.



"Hold on Mom. I think there are some crumbs here."

You are a champion eater just like your sister was at this age. You will eat anything we put in front of you. You are eating almost all solid foods. You eat 3 waffles for breakfast! You love quesadillas, one day last week you had 3 for lunch!

You pretty much think your big sister is the coolest thing ever. You follow her around all day and she is usually pretty good about playing with you but I do hear "Char Char, no!!!" sometimes.

You had your first real beach trip last weekend. You were kind of indifferent about the water, but you loved playing in the sand. Every inch of your little rolls was covered in sand when we left! You crawled all over the place and let the sand run through your little hands.

No more pictures, please!

We put you in a big girl car seat before our beach trip this weekend. You had so much more room and kept turning your head side to side and looking out at everything.

Another big first this month was the first time Daddy and I went out of town without you and Julia. We went to NYC for a long weekend to celebrate our 5th anniversary. You stayed with Nonny and seemed to not even notice we were gone! :)

Yay! I'm 10 months old today!

You sleep through the night in your bed with the occasional wake up calls for a lost paci. You sleep with your baby doll under one arm and your turtle under the other one. You like to go to bed around 8:00, but lately we haven't been home that early! You were in the habit of waking up around 5:30, but you've gotten better. In the past few weeks you've been waking up closer to 7:00 or 7:30 and even slept until 8:30 Tuesday!

You were not feeling the basket pictures today!

You have the sweetest little smile and demeanor. Everyone who is around you says you are just the sweetest baby. You go with the flow and are almost always happy as long as you aren't hungry!

You always have something in your hands. Some of your favorites are Julia's Belle wand, the flutes from your bath instrument set, one of my baby toys from when I was a baby, your hairbrush, and your toothbrush. When you find something you attached to it for the day. Sometimes you even bathe and sleep with it!

 You bring so much joy to our lives and Daddy, Sissy and I love you so much!

Julia and Charlotte at 10 months old

Happy 10 months!

Love,

Mommy
