Where is the time going? Charley is 15 months old. I was just looking through my new blog book (so excited) and was reading through Molly's 15 month update, and remembered I needed to get on top of this for Charley too. I really can't believe she is so old already. I'm losing my baby, and it makes me sad.
Here's what's up with Chuck (cringe...I hate that nickname but it has kind of stuck)
Height: 31 7/8 inches (90%)
Weight: 22 pounds 5 ounces (45%)
- She has just about 12 teeth...waiting for that last molar to come in.
- She is getting a little pickier about what she eats and still doesn't like most things that are orange, but is starting to like peaches.
- She doesn't say very much, at least not compared to my other two at this age. She says mama, ma, and mommy all day long. She says dada to anyone that is male, including Grant. She's got ball and bubble down pretty good. She will sign please now but only when I ask her to, and sometimes signs all done. If she wants something to eat, she will bring it to you, and say MMMMM MMMMM, until you give it to her, and also does that when she wants milk. The pediatrician says its very normal for the third to be behind where the others were, because she has learned to watch her siblings and can communicate differently...mostly by screaming...and yelling...and being very loud.
- Still super smiley, and now with a lot of teeth
- New development in the last few weeks though, she is SUPER clingy. She wants me to hold her A LOT of the time throughout the day, which has made my life much more difficult. But this has also increased her desire to cuddle, which I LOVE, so I guess I take the good with the bad. She now will lay her sweet little head on my shoulder and wrap her arms around me. It's the best. And you can actually rock with her now and snuggle. Love it.
- She is a crazy kid, definitely my wild child. She is all over the place and into everything. Matt, as you know, calls her Chuck, and it used to be Baby Chuck, and now it has turned into Crazy Chuck. Nice nickname huh? Poor girl. Other than that, I have been trying to call her Charlotte more too because I really do love that name too. And I still call her Binks and Binksy...got me.
- I cut the mullet, mullet is growing back...the front just will not grow.
- She cracks me up. She is funny and makes funny faces and noises, and does things to get a laugh.
- She takes things out of Molly's hands all the time. She almost bullies her. Charley could take Molly down any day.
- She loves balls. Loves to pick them up, throw them, kick them. Think there is an athlete in her.
- Takes one nap for about 2-3 hours. Sleeps 11 hours at night. She is very loud when she wakes up and yells MAMA until I get her, which usually wakes up Molly.
- Still don't know who she looks like, maybe when she gets more hair we will see.
- If you ask her where her eyes are, she blinks and blinks, where her mouth is, she does her tongue...blab a blab a blab. Ask for a kiss and she'll head butt you. :)
- She says hi to everyone. HI! with a quick wave. She also says hi when she means bye.
- She is a stinker. I tell her no and she laughs and does it again and again.
We love her so much and love watching her change and grow. I know that she will be a loving and caring person full of life when she grows up. So excited to see where you will go. Love you baby girl!!
saying hi to anyone walking by
always big smiles
