Ten Months
Old and Not Afraid of Anything!
Changes, changes every day! Charlie Kate is walking more and speaking so
much jibber jabber. It is so funny to
watch her sit and play, making all kinds of noises, having full conversations
with her toys! She has started pulling
pillows off the couch to sit and bounce on them. She is super picky about food right now. I think it is the different textures being
introduced. She loves avocado, sweet potato,
carrots and corn mixture, and all fruits especially chopped prunes! She hates green beans and English peas. She likes bananas when I put them in the
blender, but hates them just chopped.
She is definitely like her daddy with textures. I have been experimenting with everything and
using my little Magic Bullet. It is a “must
have” in my opinion, and I would have registered for that or the Ninja if I had
known how much I use it. I got mine at Bargain
Hunt… actually my father-in-law picked it up for me:).

We have a
real dare devil on our hands! She lunges
toward objects and people without any fear of smacking her face, and she definitely
has had some hard smacks. She dives for
toys on the floor when she is in my lap, chases after innocent dogs to grab
their ears and tales, and tries to pull very heavy furniture across the floor
and down on top of her! AGH!

We just
cleaned her clothes out and filled her closet and drawers with her 12 month
clothes. Don’t worry, we didn’t go out
and buy all new clothes. We have been
very fortunate to have several ladies that have had little girls that took care
of their clothes before us! We also attend
the semi- annual Wee Swap Consignment Sale.
I’m looking forward to the next one!
I am starting
to think about and plan for her 1st birthday. I’m thinking about using the book we bought
her for Christmas as a theme, “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”. I have been scoping out Pinterest and found a
ton of cute ideas. The question for now
is invitations. Who, and how many do I
invite? Should I keep it to just family,
or should I invite all friends, or just the friends with kids her age? Agh!
Who would have thought this would be so tough?! The amount of people will definitely affect
the place too! Bah! This might be the time to call on my Amazing in-laws
:) Love them!
Mom has been keeping
Charlie Kate while I sub a few days a week, and is starting to get attached to
her. When she sees her she smiles, lunges
for her, and claps her hands. It’s
sweet! Jon’s mom was a super brave woman
and took on keeping Charlie Kate and our three nieces while we had a girl day
at the movies. Jon’s brother, Matt, came
to help and said that Charlie Kate was jealous of Nora. Debbie was feeding Nora in the highchair and
Charlie Kate crawled to her and climbed her leg. Sounds like we have some ownership issues. :)
Charlie Kate
had her first night away from home without us!
My sister, Katy, watched her one night while we went to a benefit
concert, and decided to keep her overnight… She had an eventful night of Ms.
Charlie Kate waking up Every time
she tried to put her down. So they ended
up sleeping on the couch together all night :)
I felt awful! Katy went through a
lot of trouble to get a pack-n-play, and a sound machine, and all the little “must
haves” so she would feel at home. Ha! I
guess she just knew that Aunt Katy needed a reminder of life with a baby!
