10 Months!

Our little C is now 10 months old!  Month 10 has brought on so many changes!  Charlotte is now mobile and ALL over the place!  She had been trying to crawl for a couple of months and finally got it down!  This girl is on the move all the time!  If I moved constantly like that I would need 12 hours of sleep every night too!  Charlotte has been pulling herself up on everything and is becoming interested in taking steps while holding onto things.  Yesterday she was standing at her toy basket and let go to put both hands on her toy and stood there!  I got excited and she looked at me and then sat down.

A couple of weeks ago we looked on the monitor and Charlotte was standing leaning over the crib.  Needless to say, the crib was dropped that night.  Dan and I kept having thoughts of Charlotte tumbling over the side.  She hasn't seem to notice that we dropped her mattress and still gives us big smiles when we go to get her.

Charlotte says "Mama", "Dada", "Baba" (Bella maybe?) and "gaga". Not sure what that one is either.  She waves bye and will say "bye" sometimes too.  She is giving kisses and loves to clap.  We celebrate a lot in our house to get her excited. 

 Over the weekend we made our first trip to the pumpkin patch.  We plan on going a couple more times but it was fun to pull Charlotte around in the wagon and take pictures.  Dan's parents were in town for the week visiting so they got to tag along to our photo shoot pick out pumpkins.  It seems as though everywhere we go now the camera goes along!  We have to document every family outing right?

Charlotte still has her two top and bottom teeth but she has to be getting more in with the amount of chewing she's been doing on everything.  This baby (or not so baby anymore) is the light of our lives and makes us smile constantly.  Her giggles are contagious and she melts our hearts everyday.
I question often how we got so lucky to have this little girl.
