Last week, Charlotte turned 11-months-old! I can't believe she is almost a year old. Time really does slip away. We are enjoying our time with Charlotte at this age. She loves "talking". Whether she is crawling, sitting and playing, or in her car seat, she almost always has something to say. She is favoring the d, m, b, and t sounds at the moment. She understands a lot of what we say to her. She understands the signs for eat, drink, more, and all-done. She has only tried to do "more" a little bit, but definitely not consistently. The word "no" has become very ingrained in our vocabulary these days. She is into everything and does not like it when we tell her no. She knows that it means she is supposed to stop doing whatever fun activity she has started and most of the time she is not willing to stop. We usually have to pick her up and move her and distract her with something else. She is completely on table foods now! No more baby food! It makes meal times so much better because we can all sit down and eat at the same time, instead of one of us having to spoon food into her mouth. She is eating a full breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with bottles and snacks in between. We definitely have a picky eater on our hands. Something she likes at one meal she may want nothing to do with at the next meal. Red grapes are by far her favorite. She uses a sippy cup and feeds herself her own bottle. She isn't walking yet, but she can get anywhere very quickly by crawling and can make it across the whole room "furniture cruising". Charlotte can stand up and squat down without holding on to anything. Sometimes she will stand there and it seems like she is thinking of taking a step, but then she drops down and crawls to her destination. We love it when she sits and plays on her knees. It is just too cute! More than anything, she makes us laugh on a daily basis. She has such a silly personality and loves to explore new things, whether it by a new room, toy, or sound she is making. Giggling is one of her favorite things and she does it often! We are so thankful each and every day for our sweet baby girl!
