9 months!

Charlotte, you are 9 months old! (1/23/11)

• You weighed 18 3/4 pounds at your 9 month check-up (50th percentile).
• You are now taking 3 six ounce bottles per day plus lots of table food and some baby food. You love blueberry yogurt, cereal bars, waffles. Much to my dismay you do not yet love avocado!
• You still wear size 3 diapers.
• You wear 6-12 month clothes and 9 month pjs, but these are getting a little snug!
• You continue to talk all about da-da, but still no mama yet.
• You started crawling on January 21st (2 days shy of 9 months). You sat alone for the first time on January 22nd.
• You are trying very hard to pull to stand.
• Your top two teeth have finally come in! It looks like yet again you look like your daddy!
• You are the most precious little girl! We love you!

8 months!

Charlotte, you are eight months old (12/23/10). Sorry, again, kiddo for being late!

• You weigh around 18-20 pounds, I think!
• Your last length measurement was 26 inches. Can't wait to see your new length.
• You now take 4 six ounce bottles per day, plus baby food, and more table food. You really like yogurt, puffs, and cereal bars.
• You wear size 3 diapers.
• You wear 6-12 month clothes.
• You are continuing to babble all day long. Da-da is still your favorite thing to say, but we have also heard "na-na" and "la-la". Still waiting on you to say mama.
• You are really liking daycare and your friends there, but you still won't nap there.
• You are SO close to crawling! Any day now!
• Your favorite toys are your picnic basket, blocks from Aunt Amberly and Uncle David, and Sophie, of course.
• You now take baths in the big bathtub. You are starting to really like it.
• Your top two teeth are THIS close to coming in!
• You loved your first Christmas and you were a trooper with all of the traveling. You even went sledding in Vermont this year.
• We love the sweet little girl you are becoming!
