10 months

Can you believe this cute baby is 10 months old!  Charlotte is growing up so fast and her personality is getting better everyday.  We love this little knock head! 

Charlotte is learning so many new things and loving every experience.  She recently discovered that she loves being in the water.

She had so much fun playing in the little kiddie pool at the Phillips and the splash pad is her new favorite place.  She loves doing anything her older brothers and sister do.  Sometimes this bothers them because she gets into all of their stuff but it is good for them to play with her.  

Charlotte did a funny thing this month.  One day she pooped in her pants and then she rolled into the bathroom and laid on the rug and squawked until I came into the bathroom to change her diaper.  It was so funny.  If only that meant that she was ready to be potty trained.  That would be great!

Charlotte has been getting up on her knees lately and rocking back and forth.  She will maybe take one crawl or two but nothing more.  Then on July 6, she decided to crawl for the first time! 

She took her first crawls at 10 months old!  The funny thing about it was that her first crawls were to food!  She found a jelly bean on the floor and just set her mind to it to get that jelly bean.  Well she did it and what could I do but let her have that candy.  Since then she has been crawling everywhere!  She is still kind of slow at crawling but she is getting the hang of it and getting better everyday.  She kind of likes crawling now.

Another thing Charlotte discovered that she loves is suckers:

She had her first sucker on my birthday and she absolutely loved it!  She was getting really sticky so we tried to take it away to clean her up but she was having nothing to do with it.  She freaked out and would not let us take it from her.  She loved that thing!

Another fun thing Charlotte has learned this month is how to say "Uh-Oh!"  Whenever she drops anything she says "Uh-Oh!"  It is so cute!  But now she thinks it is a fun game to play to drop things all the time and say uh-oh.   She is also saying other fun words like mama, dada, num and other baby babbles.  When we ask her if she wants a treat she nods her head and says "Yeah! Num" and smacks her lips.  It is so fun that she is talking and interacting with us more and more.

We love you Cute Thing!
