9 Months Old

My sweet girl...I really wish this wasn't blurry because it is SO her

How did I go an entire month without updating? Her 9 month check-up is next week so I'll be sure to update with her length and weight. Although, my mom was here last week and she swears Charlotte has lost weight. I think she's just stretched out so her sweet little rolls are starting to disappear. So sad :( I just realized that we never posted that we found out we're having a little BOY! Charlotte is very excited she won't have to share her clothes :) We've decided to name him Jackson, but we're still working on the middle name. Stay tuned! We feel very blessed to have one of each. God is so good!

9 Month Update:

- Started clapping! It's the cutest thing, and she's so proud of herself when she makes a loud noise :)

- Starting waving hello...it's pretty funny. She puts her whole body into it. It's still hit and miss, but she's getting the hang of it!

- Getting VERY good at standing, it's all she wants to do these days. She will walk if you hold her hands and walk along with her.

- Still no interest in crawling. When I try to put her down on her tummy she pops up like she's doing downward dog (the yoga pose) haha she's so stubborn

- Loving music more and more. Even if music is playing in the distance she'll start dancing along...she's just added the clapping to her dance moves. It's hysterical. I often wonder how this love of music will show itself later in her life- will she be a dancer? a musician?

- One of her upper teeth has finally come in! It's only half-way in though. At least it's here :)

- We're beginning to introduce more table foods. She loves eating with us and feeding herself.

Peeking over the crib to say hello...she looks confused to find me :)

Proudly standing up!
