SLEEP
Since the teeth have started coming in again (and the flu shot last week), Charlee have been getting up earlier and earlier. And when we try to go back to sleep after the initial wake up at 5:30am, but sometimes that just results in someone rolling around in her crib laughing.
She's also developed a "habit" of wanting someone lying next to her crib when she goes to sleep, just with your hand on the mattress so she can lie on it. I usually only indulge this for naps and we've moved away from it for night time.

LETTER TO CHARLEE
Oh my silly, silly girl,
Every month I don't think it's possible, but you continue to become more silly and entertaining! It's hard to believe that you were ever just a tiny little baby who would sleep most of the day. You are such a big girl now! You like to eat with a fork and only want to do it by yourself. You are so fast at crawling and are so very close to pulling yourself up to standing. Your hair is so long that it makes you look so much older. You are constantly mistaken for a 14-18 month old because you are so gosh-darn tall!
You talk ALL THE TIME! I wonder what you are saying. MA-MA is usually interchangeable for mama or yum yum. You've been on a kick of saying "dada" all the time. You point to dogs and yell "DAW!" You are always singing :)
Speaking of dogs. You are in love with your big sisters. You get up from a nap and want to go find them. You smile every time you see Lucy and Maddie. They don't always share the same sentiment, but they love you too. Thankfully you have not eaten their dog food (you tried twice), but you just sit very close while they're eating to keep them company.
Your teeth have typically been coming in groups. You're working on your molars now and your top incisors.
You've started sticking your tongue out all the time again (as evident in the pictures below). You are such a little ham and love to make others laugh.
Next month is going to be a big one for you! I actually made your Halloween costume and you've been sporting it around all week. We're also planning your birthday party with all your little friends at Seventeenth Radish. I think you all will have so much fun! (Mama might die from exhaustion with planning it though!)
Love you!
mama
