Charlotte: 9 Months

Charlotte is 9 months old! It has been a month since she had her febrile seizure and she is doing just fine! Since then, her second tooth popped through and she is just as cute as can be. She is cruising around the house and into everything. She pulls up on everything and I mean everything, from baskets to trashcans even the toilet!! The other day she actually stood unassisted for about 4 seconds. Of course I screamed out of joy and she got scared and dropped to the ground. 

A week or two ago, I was feeding her dinner and she started saying "mmmamama" or something that sounded like "mama". I'm still not sure 100% if she is saying "Mum Mum" for her crackers or "mama". She looks at me and says "mama" and crawls to me and says "mama", but she also says "mama" to her bottle and binkie boo boo. Regardless, she is saying a word!! She has also said "dada", "hi" and a few other things in her rambling and mumbles! 

In the past few days she has really started dancing. She has a little interactive puppy toy that plays 3 songs that Kyle and I both have memorized and forever ingrained in our head! The minute we push the button she begins to rock back and forth. It is so precious! She can also press down her pop up toys and she loves balls. But, more than anything she likes to pull up on the coffee table or ottoman. Just tonight she was inching along trying to grab something off the table. She also loves her bath time! She knows when she is about to get in the bath and she gets super excited! She could sit in there for hours and splash! 

We also got her a kiddie pool and we have spent quite a few Saturdays and Sundays out back in the pool. Kyle fills it up in the morning so the sun can warm it up and then after her morning nap we usually get in and splash around! It also has a little slide that she loves!

Sit, Macey Jane!

I know you love me, go ahead and kiss me!

Ok, I guess I'll share my chair with you!

Weight:  19lbs. 11 oz. 

Diaper Size:  her 4s are getting pretty snug! Her BFF Marian (who is 3) became potty-trained so gave Charlotte her diapers, I keep my Costco stash in the garage, so I just grabbed one of the 5s from the closet and it fit her pretty well! How is she so big? 
Clothing Size: 9-12 months! I got 12 months and 18 months in the Lilly for Target stuff so she could wear stuff longer! :)
Eye Color: Love her baby blues!
Hair: Her hair is growing so much! She has quite the bed head, or should I say carseat head. The texture of her hair isn't the most desirable right now, lol, but I know she will be a beautiful blonde one day!
Teeth: Our baby has TWO teeth! And they are so, so cute! 

Sleeping Habits: I'm not sure what happened, but this baby girl loves to sleep now! She is a good napper (usually a 1.5-2 hour nap in the morning and afternoon) and then going down around 7:00pm-6:45am sometimes as even late at 8:00am! After her bed time routine, I lay her down awake and she just puts herself to sleep. She has about 4 pacis in her crib and she usually has one in her mouth and one in her hand. Then she switches them out periodically! 
Adventures this Month:  We were so busy this past month! Kyle's parents visited and during that time we had Kyle's promotion and our 4 year anniversary! We did lots of fun things during the time Kyle's family was here and Charlotte loved all of the attention of course!
Visitors: Our next and probably final visitor during our time in Hawaii, is Kyle's best friend and one of Charlotte's godfather's, Rob. He will come out in June! 

Milestones: First 2 teeth, Saying "Mama", dancing, almost has clapping down, crawling around the house, being super independent and exploring things on her own. 
Favorite Toy: She loves her puppy toy, balls, anything that she can pull up on!
Looking forward to: our Memorial Day Trip to the Big Island and moving back to Florida this summer! It is official, we got orders last week! Now to start the planning!
