Can it really be that you are turning one in only two short months? Oh how I want time to slow down so I can enjoy these beautiful baby moments with you for longer.
Ten months didn't exactly greet you very nicely this morning: you took a hard whack to the cheek trying to stand up next to the couch, and your loving sister (she tries to be...she just doesn't quite understand that you're balance is not as good as hers) knocked you over in the laundry room where you smacked your head on the tile floor...all before 8:00am! I'm sure you'll agree with me when I say I'm ready for this head-bumping phase to be over.
You now have six teeth in your mouth: four on top and two on the bottom. You love trying to join in the conversation using your tongue to make lots of fun sounds. I think that's your new favorite thing to do. You're a pro at crawling and are pulling up on anything that can hold you (and some things that can't). Your newest achievement happened on Sunday - you stood on your own, without support for about 15 seconds! Once again, Daddy witnessed it first and Mommy just caught the tail end of it. I was able to catch you practicing again this morning though!
It still melts my heart to see how much you love Rockne, and I know that he feels the same way. It was only five months ago that we weren't even sure he was still going to be around. I'm so glad he is, and as you can see...so are you! You give him lots of "good boy" pats on the back and hugs, before he is transformed into your own personal play-gym.
You and your sister are a joy to watch too. You LOVE getting her attention, and especially enjoy it when she copies the noises you make. I think it frustrates you that you can't do everything she can, but it won't be long Charlotte! Just take your time, don't grow up too fast.
