10 Months Old

Charlotte is 10 months old now. Can you believe that?! We can't! Time is F.L.Y.I.N.G. Our little baby is growing and changing so quickly! With so much personality, curiosity, and ability to get into everything, she sometimes looks like *gasp* a toddler!! With the way she feeds herself with her little pinching fingers, to the way she sits on her knees while investigating something new... a little bit of our baby turns into a big girl.

 

This month, Charlotte has started taking baths in the regular tub instead of her baby tub, is cruising along furniture - even letting go with one hand to move to another piece of furniture, hustling up the stairs with us right behind her, telling us she's done with meals by dropping food on the floor, drinking out of a straw, and talking in her adorable baby babble pretty much constantly. She is continuing to take great naps in the morning and afternoon, and sleep at night is still kind of hit or miss. She loves to play with her Daddy - crawling around him, riding on his shoulders, smacking his face, and drumming on his belly. She also loves to play hide & seek, she tries to get Donny & Marie to play with her (or at least let her pull their tails), and she likes to help fold laundry and unload the dishwasher. 

Charlotte does so well out in public. She loves going grocery shopping, will sit and feed herself Puffs while we eat at restaurants, enjoys watching joggers and dogs at the park, talks to the birds and trees when we take her for walks, and usually does pretty well playing in the car on short trips. 

No trip to the park is complete without some time spent in the swing! What a sweet girl!!
