11 months


The fridge provides a lot of entertainment for Charlie while I am making dinner.
Time really does fly by. I can't believe my little baby will be one next month. I am so happy he is getting older, is able to interact more with Jack and Lauren and continues to be SO happy. He is 22 pounds...I think that is about the 40% for weight. He LOVES climbing the stairs, can stand for what seems to be forever...(it's probably about 30 seconds) and cries if he isn't in the same room as Jack and Lauren. You should see him move. He cruises everywhere and can crawl faster than I can walk at times.
He is slower than the other two verbally. He is still babbling and can now say mama. Even though, he doesn't know what it means. He is probably slower verbally because we are so much busier now than when J and L were this age. Oops. I guess that comes with being the third. =) His favorite way to "verbalize" these days is by shaking his head no. It is so funny.
Charlie is now transitioning to drinking whole milk and will soon be off bottles. Crazy that we won't ever need to deal with bottles EVER again. He is such a great eater...from veggies to fruit to meat. He loves it all. Oh and it isn't baby food. The past month, he has been eating what we eat and does great!
Charlie has been sleeping through the night. He still wakes up a few times a week around 4, but I am not giving him a bottle anymore, so he has learned to just go back to sleep. He is a stubborn little guy though. We have had many middle of the night battles. Two and a half hours of him awake in his room wanting me to give him a bottle...Jason loves those nights. He covers his head with his pillow and tries to sleep through Charlie's "talking" in the middle of the night.
I still can't believe is 11 months and walking and talking are up next. I LOVE it!
What a cutie! I love it!

Oh yeah, he enjoys climbing. He thought he was the coolest baby in the world when he figured out how stand up on the picnic table at my parents place.
