As her Daddy told her yesterday morning, Charlotte has now been outside her Mama as long as she was in her tummy. I don't know why 9 months seems like such a huge milestone to me. Maybe because it is in the last set of baby clothes sizes (9-12 months) before she is a year old. Needless to say, time is zooming by and we are enjoying Charlotte more and more each day. She is so full of personality and makes us laugh on a daily basis. She loves to hear us laugh and I love it when I can really get her giggling. Such a wonderful sound to a Mama's ears! 
When we were at the doctor about 2 weeks ago, she was weighing in right at 19 pounds. She is wearing 6-9, 9 month, and 6-12 month clothing right now. She is wearing size 2-3 shoes. We have been very blessed to have so many people let us borrow some wonderful clothes. She has more clothes than I do!
Charlotte is always learning new things and practicing new tricks. Favorite things to do:
- say "da da" and "ba ba". These are just random syllables right now.
- scream loudly in delight
- smack her lips together
- make raspberry noises
- use her hand on her mouth to do "ah, ah, ah"
- dance to music (this involves swaying forwards and backwards or bouncing up and down)
New tricks:
- smiles when she sees the red light on our camera
- stand up and squat down repeatedly while holding onto something
- side step along furniture while holding on
- chasing the cat very persistently
- has let go of the furniture and stood a few times, but now very often
- she has started to feed herself some baby snacks
Favorite toys:
- music table
- any ball because she likes to throw them
- pulling the shapes out of her plastic shape sorter box
- pulling the plastic coins out of her piggy bank and chewing on them
