Nine Months




April 6th was Charlie's 9 month birthday (do you call it a birthday?) We have three months until she is one. I am just amazed with how fast it all goes by. It is so fun, exciting and scary all at the same time.

She had her 9 month check up on Friday. She weighs 23 1/2 pounds and is 27 inches long. She has ALWAYS been off the charts on weight. And she used to be off the charts on height. This time she was actually kind of short... or at least average height for her age, but not for her weight. She is kind of short and kind of fat... but I love it! She is perfect!

She is crawling all over the place now. She can pull up on just about everything and she is starting to take a few steps while she is holding on to things. Soon she will be unstoppable!

She is so busy all of the time which makes us busy all of the time. Our daycare has been closed a lot due to a plumbing issue. I stayed home with her last Friday, Monday, Thursday and this Friday. It is amazing how tired I am at the end of the day. I thought work wore me out... I am way more exhausted after keeping Charlie for the day. However, all this extra time with her makes me want to stay at home with her all of the time. I wish that was an option. I love spending time with her and watching her learn new things. I didn't realize how much I miss while she is at daycare.

I couldn't have had a better baby. She is wonderful. She is pretty much always happy or at least easy to make happy. She likes to go... she likes to watch and talk to all the people. She is just so much fun these days.
