Ten Months Old

I'm sure I'll leave something out in here that I wanted to remember, but I'm so stressed about packing and leaving for vacation tomorrow that it's hard to focus on anything else! So, Charlotte is 10 months old now, only 2 more months and we're at the 1 year mark, hard to believe. She has changed a lot this month, but I'll let her tell you all about that. I did (finally) get her to the doctor and she checked in at 19 pounds, 12 ounces, 29.75 inches which put her in the 97th percentile for height and 85th for weight. The doctor said she looked great and now that all her teeth have come in (for now at least), she's been a happier girl! So here's what she's been up to!

I am on the move so much now, I can crawl fast, especially when I know I'm going somewhere I shouldn't go (like the bathroom) and mommy is trying to catch me! I can pull up and stand on pretty much anything and I like to stand all by myself now!

I am so over baby food now that I have all these big girl teeth. I like to eat big girl food, like waffles, pizza, mac and cheese, carrots, green beans, and chicken nuggets. I also learned how to drink from a straw and I LOVE my new sippy cup! I can hold it all by myself and I like to throw it on the floor.

I've been told that I'm going through separation anxiety, I don't know why it's such a bad thing though! If mommy puts me down and has to leave the room, I scream as loud as I can so that she knows where I am...and sometimes I like to scream at night in my crib too, I just want mommy there with me all the time, is that such a bad thing?

I can say lots of words now - dada, baba, nana, gaga, and mama! I can almost say uh oh, but it usually just comes out oh oh. I still love to laugh, especially at my brother.

I like to play with stuffed animals a lot now, I like to chew on them. I also like toys that play music, and I love my brother's cars. I like to play outside, I especially like to swing. I LOVE to be in the water and found out how much fun it is to play in the sand (it tasted great!).

I'm happy as can be and I'm so excited to go to the beach (tomorrow!!!). Mommy says that she will take lots and lots of pictures at the beach to share when we get back, until then, hugs and kisses!
