Nine Months

Charlie at nine months . . .
  • Such a good-natured little boy. I can't even express how patient and smiley and loving he is, and has been through every stage so far.
  • He is no longer quite as sedentary as he used to be, which is good, but also really a lot busier. He is crawling fast, pulling himself up to things with beast-like strength and throwing his body weight around like a pro--hold on tight if you are holding him and he decides to dive for it!
  • Charlie loves to bang anything he is holding on the floor, his own head, his tummy, or my head.
  • Charlie can say ma ma, da da, and num num. (and that's really all that matters)
  • Five and a half teeth so far.
  • 27 lbs at our last doctors visit and I forgot how many inches, but he is tall. The doctor told me "You sure know how to grow em'!" That we do.
  • Charlie's hair is pretty special to us. We all really love to feel how soft and fluffy it is. If it is all up to mommy, this little boy is still many moons away from his first hair cut.
  • He loves his mommy and his daddy, and his big brother and sister. He gives good kisses and loves.

And now for some picnic blanket pictures. . . Notice the mystery blob in Charlie's fluffy hair? I didn't. (I'll spare you my theory on what that is and you can use your imagination--have fun!)







We love you so much Charlie Robert!
