9 Months! can't believe it

Enjoy some Charlotte Overload. Love my cute, angel of a baby!

Charlotte is now 9 months old. Smiley, Happy, Laughing!
She's sitting up pretty good now. She's getting so strong!

She loves playing with her sister. Kathryn loves having someone to play with too.

Her new physical Therapy ball. She gets to sit on it and lay on it like this to strengthen her back and oblique muscles. Her Therapists are all very good and are getting her to do so much more then I thought would come by this time!

She really loves this ball!

I have the cutest kids ever!

Charlotte is such a special girl . I can't believe I was so worried at the beginning. She's more then I could have ever wanted.

Love her hair! it's not as long as Kathryn's was but it's getting long and sticking up after baths I love it.

It's coldy, Coldy here. I'm so glad we have a car seat cover for her that's all warm and cozy.

She's started playing a lot more with all her toys. It's fun to watch her move around and get to the different toys all around the floor.

She really likes books, or rather she likes to play with them and eat the edges. Oh and the book in the picture is really cute, I highly recommend it.

Some stats on my sweet Charlotte.

Weight 19.6 lbs - 50%

Height 27 1/4 in - 75%

Head Circumference 17 in - 90%

She's rolling all over the floor, starting to army/ inch worm crawl, she has a little trouble with solid foods, but she likes sucking on apples and oranges. She takes good naps and sleeps through the night. She babbles all the time. So far for SB, we still cath her and she's had NO UTI's, no SHUNT problems, her Orthopedist thinks she's doing great and on track, her Pediatrician is pleased and thinks she's well taken care of. Her Opthamalogist thinks her eye's are fine and we'll keep watching them for any other changes.

We look forward to May when we get to go back to San Fran for the MOMs trial for her one year evaluation.

Milestones for Kathryn

So I should have posted this earlier as now I might have the day wrong.

Kathryn got her first tooth October 16th. I saw it under her gums that week and it finally broke through on that Thursday. So she's got this lonely tooth that she eats her animal crackers with!

She had her 9 month appointment too.

9 Month Stats

20 lbs 1 oz 50-75%

28 inches long 50-75%

She's getting so big. Getting in to things. We have a filing cabinet that is her favorite thing to pull out all my files!! I've got to find a way to keep that closed. Also she's learned to open most of the cupboards. She especially likes the ones in the bathroom cause they have knobs on them to pull open. One of the cupboards in the bathroom I don't mind cause there is like 5 things in it that can't hurt her. Just velcro hair curlers.

But being as healthy as ever at her appointment. the next day she came down with a cough and I took her in a week later. She's been on some breathing treatments for the last few days and will continue for the rest of the week and then at the follow up appointment found out she has ear infections in both ears. So know we're on some antibiotics to clear that up as well.

She slept all through the night last night for the first time in a long time.

Maybe her ears have been bothering her and I just couldn't tell.

I can't wait for the holidays to see her face at all the pretty christmas lights. I'm not sure what I"ll do for my christmas tree this year. we'll see!

I LOVE THE HOLIDAYS!! Christmas is my favorite to decorate for! I collect Nativities, so they're everywhere in my house! I'll post pictures of what I do this year in the new house. And with a baby. Can't put the glass things on the ground.

Well this is enough. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

Her First KISS, Gross Kissing Cousins!!!
