He said she is growing beautifully! She weighed in at 18lbs! So hard to believe she was just 5 lbs when I brought her home from the hospital. She has grown and changed so much! She loves her bracelets and accessories, she likes to dress herself now, and will often bring you two different shoes to wear. She loves to walk and swing. She also loves slides and sitting down (I know its weird, but she loves little chairs, I put one on her Xmas list, so I hope santa brings her one, she will climb in and out of her chair over and over again in the backyard)
She is extremely loving. She blows kisses to everyone, including strangers haha. She loves to be independent and won't hold hands when walking unless the terrain is rocky, and then her little hand will reach out for mine and its so sweet. Even when she is running and being independent she always looks back to make sure I am watching. She loves to run around the backyard and will come over to where I am to give me a kiss and then run around again. She loves animals. ALL animals. She pets them and kisses them and still runs around saying "hi dog". She loves to go to the zoo to see all the animals. She says "moo" when she sees the cows.
Charlotte loves to eat. She will try anything once, but if she doesn't like it she will definitely let you know. I gave her ketchup to try with her French fries, she dipped them in, tried it, hated it, so she turned the French fry around and ate from the other end. She is smart like that, a problem solver. She looks at all of the food presented to her and carefully chooses what piece she wants. She loves grapes and blueberries, those are her current favorite fruits. She loves mini bagels, with almost any spread.
She says a lot of words, and the words she doesn't know she tries to say. She says hi, bubble, GG, mama, da (for dad), dog, duck, moo, bird, hot (she will even blow on her food after she says hot, sometimes she says hot and blows on it just for funsies, like with a popsicle). She signs very well too, she even puts a couple signs together. She can sign, more, eat, sleep, diaper, drink, cookie, and her all time favorite thing to sign is please. She is working on signing help, but she struggles with it and would rather just make a noise and sign please.
She loves to "help" and is quite the copy cat. She likes to put on makeup like me, and if anyone is painting their nails she will INSIST hers get painted too, but walks away after only one foot is done, so they are forever different colors. She likes to put things in and out of the dishwasher and help cook but stirring and adding ingredients. She likes to help dress herself and help change her diaper. She will try to do everything by herself, but struggles which can sometimes frustrate her.
She has started the "tantrum" phase. She freezes and cries when she does not get what she wants, but after a few seconds of ignoring and letting her know what she wants is not a choice and providing her with things that are choices she calms down right away.
If you're still reading, this is her update and I hope you liked it and know Charlotte a little bit better if you don't get to see her as much as I do haha. Charlotte is amazing, I am so blessed to be her mother. I love keeping this blog (even though I have been neglectful recently). I will always remember these amazing times with her that I am fortunate enough to have, and I can't wait until she is old enough to read the posts and see all the amazing adventures she's had since birth. I know there are so so many more to come! I have many many more posts and will get to them soon, but for now it is off to bed with me, Charlotte will be up soon and I like to get in some rest before she wakes, but it is easy to sleep when I feel so blessed.
