Happy Baby

Scooter

Remember when Charlotte butt-scooted everywhere?  

Well, she still scoots quite a bit, but it won't be long until she is walking.  She has been standing on her own and even dancing!  It's exciting for us.  People always say things like, "oh, enjoy it while it lasts!  Before you know it she'll be walking!"  Believe me, we have enjoyed having a baby who is not super mobile for almost 20 months.  I don't take for granted that it's relatively easy to get ready for work while she sits and plays or only scoots into the kitchen and back.  We haven't even put up baby gates yet.  This week she started climbing the stairs so I guess it's time to do that!  She's 28 pounds now - at music class when we have to stand up for a song I groan.  We're savoring the end of butt scooting and ready for the next developments!

She Can Stand!

Baby Jail

Charlotte has been enjoying the warm weather.  She always asking to go outside.  She always manages to find something to play with.

Things you can play with that are not toys.

I hope not.  As someone who might be described as a nerd, I highly recommend it.  Seriously.  Although, I also recommend the grunge fashion.  Please be in style again when Charlotte is a teenager!

What a Baby

Remember when we went to the pediatric neurologist a few weeks ago?  I forgot that I took this picture of her getting her blood pressure taken.  She was not happy about it.  At the time, I thought, "what if this is the beginning of some journey?  I should document this!"  Well, it was not (knock wood).   And this is the only picture I took of the appointment.  But they did take a full set of vitals and it has been a while since I posted those so here goes:  18 months, 28 pounds; 30.5 inches (this HAS to be wrong, that would mean she has not grown since like 12 months, plus she was squirming around like crazy).
