Listen. I am TOTALLY aware that time doesn't move fast or slow, it just moves. But somehow, the past 11 months have passed in the blink of an eye (a non-sleeping, bags underneath eye). I cannot believe that in just a few short days, I will have a 1-year-old. SERIOUSLY?! I couldn't love this kid more and I am so enjoying watching her develop her sense of self and an awareness of how the world works around her.
Teeth: 2 bottom teeth and 2 top front teeth... we're waiting patiently as she's been a little fussier than usual lately and I suspect teeth are the culprit.
Charlotte likes...
... dancing (girl can move)
... standing by herself
... babbling
... clapping
... playing peek-a-boo
... eating what Mama and Daddy are eating
... people-watching
... going for walks in the neighborhood
... puppies (girlfriend lets a SQUEAL like you wouldn't believe whenever we encounter a puppy on our walks)
... carrying her lunchbox into the classroom every morning & helping Mama put it into the fridge
... Gabby the Ghost Owl --- this thing comes with her EVERYWHERE, often even breakfast
Charlotte does NOT like...
... sun in her eyes
... when we stop her from.... anything
... being scolded (she often cries a newborn-ish cry)
... when other kids cry (again, she often lets out the newborn cry, she's a very sympathetic gal)
... sitting still during diaper changes
... putting clothes on (ain't no body got time for that)
Things to look forward to...
... I feel like it's a matter of days, if not hours, before Charlotte takes those first steps. And watching her grow the past 11 months, she is the kind of kid who watches and learns and then just takes off when she figures out how to apply the new skill. I have 0 doubt that we're going from standing to running in a matter of weeks. I better get new running shoes ;)
... The birthday party is quickly approaching! I've got some decor and ideas & just need to get everything organized. I can't believe we're so close!
... I am in my cousin's wedding August 1st & I am looking forward to dancin' with our Bug!
