The Wilkinsons: September 2017

Oh baby Charlotte! Acting more and more like a toddler each day! (sad face!) This month she got her top two front teeth in making her little smile look so teethy! She now has 4 total teeth. I have to say she handles teething like a champ. We barely notice a difference then all of sudden we see a new tooth has popped in. She is soooo close to learning to crawl! She does the cutest little worm like motion but isn't getting anywhere yet. It's coming soon! She gets a little frustrated and sticks her legs and arms up in the air on her belly and cries when she is stuck haha. Her biggest change this month has been with eating. She has mastered the pincer grasp and started trying to eat stuff like puffs. She LOVES feeding herself. She especially likes avocado. She is definitely on a schedule with 2 naps only a day. She hasn't taken a third cat nap in what seems like forever so its officially gone. Her naps are great. They average 1 hour-3 hours but usually no longer than 2.5 hours. Can she teach her brother how to do this??! Her bedtime is around 7 and she wakes up once around 5 am to eat then back to sleep for 2-3 hours! We have to wake her up alot actually especially on preschool mornings. But she's always happy and so flexible. She is literally the calmest baby ever. At 8 months old: She wears size 3 diapers, size 6-9 month clothes. Loves her brother, petting Wilson, putting EVERYTHING in her mouth, playing in the tupperware cabinet while mommy cooks, sleeping on her side or belly with zippy and paci, smiles big when daddy comes home from work. Oh and she had her first bath out of the baby one. It was with big brother, things got a little crazy and I decided maybe I would wait to do that again! haha We can't imagine life without this sweet baby girl. Side note: I think as life has gotten busier and my phone memory is filling up I didn't take enough pics this month :( Will do better next month!
