Charlie is 10 months old!

At 10 months old

Charlie is taking steps! The most he's done is 3 in a row, but he's trying!

He is 20lbs- in the 50% for both height and weight

Eats like a man. Seriously. Usually eats more than both Izzy & Jess combined at meal times- and so far will eat anything we give him.

Has had his first ear infection :(

Goes to be by 6:30 and sleeps until 5:30 - 6:30 on most days (why don't my children sleep in???)

Takes 2 naps a day, usually 1 hour to 2 hours long

Still no teeth (seriously?!?)

Loves to play with cars, balls, and anything outside

Is a big garden fan- always out by the garden boxes watching daddy and trying to find things to eat (he really loves the flowers, but now that he knows what cherry tomatoes taste like, that's what he goes for)

His hair is thickening up and is very very blond- and it looks like there may be a little curl in the back

Says Mama & Dada pretty regularly, does the signs for all day and more when he feels like it, and his best trick is "So Big!"

He also loves to stand up and just clap

Seems to me that he's not going to be very shy- he's pretty outgoing wherever we are

A total little monkey. He can climb up the stairs of our house, and the latter into the big playhouse, and also climbs up any slide that's around.

In 9 - 12 month clothing, and seems to be outgrowing them pretty fast

Loves to suck his thumb and cuddle by laying his head on your shoulder- melts me every time

Is so so very loved by his big sister, mommy & daddy!
