9 Months Old

Charlotte is now 9 months old. At her last doctor appointment she was 17 pounds 14 ounces and 28.5 inches long and very healthy. Hooray.

 She has had a number 0f milestones this month. My favorite of course being that she now says mamamama in addition to dadadada! Ok actually my favorite might be that she is sleeping so great most nights. She has slept through the night several times from her usual bedtime of 7:30pm to 5-6ish. Most nights though she still wakes up once but is quick about nursing and then heading right back down.

But the craziest most life changing milestone is that Charlotte now crawls! Tiring but so fun! I have a video of this but we are having technical difficulties getting it uploaded. I will try again later.

Her 9th month started off great celebrating Todd's first Fathers Day. We went out to dinner and also spent the day with the Davis Family.

Charlotte also had her first 4th of July although we did nothing except dress her in a cute patriotic outfit. It was over 100 degrees here that day and the air is always thick with nasty fire cracker smoke. Hopefully next year will be better and we can take her to watch a real fireworks show.

The best part of the month was the BEACH HOUSE!!!! It was such a great week and I loved being with Charlotte the whole time. She has pretty strong "stranger anxiety" so she was pretty attached to me but she warmed up to everyone and definitely loved being around them. I plan on doing a full post on the week...someday, but in the meantime here is Charlotte discovering sand!
