A happy standing girl!

At 7.5 months, Charlotte seems to be doing new things each day! She is crawling faster and wanting to explore everything. When we are in the living room, she knows that she can crawl into the play room to find her toys. She has just discovered the back sliding door and likes looking out the window - little hand prints everywhere! Cinder is still very exciting to her - Charlotte gets a grin on her face everytime Cinder comes into view. Sometimes she just looks at the dog and other times she tries to crawl after her - Cinder isn't too sure about that! Charlotte is getting more coordinated at picking up her toys (or things she wants to play with, like the remote), but she still has the same favorite toys - her lights and music table and her little rattles that attach to her car seat.

I couldn't decide which videos were my favorites...
Banging on the fireplace

No hands

Singing the ABCs

Pulling her toys down

Whenever we go in to get her in the morning or after a nap, she is standing and waiting for us.



We just started a new session of swimming. We missed the last few weeks of the last session because Charlotte wasn't feeling well, but she seems to be un-fazed to be swimming again. She even will hold on to the side of the pool now!
