Charlotte is 9 months

Yup, I'm 3/4 of the way through this mat leave. Hard to believe, that's for sure. Here are some recent pictures and videos of the little one.


She's learned to pull herself up from a sitting position to a kneeling position in her crib. Now that's all she does!



She also really likes to dance for some reason. It's pretty cute. There's a video of it at the end of this post.



On Tuesday night I attempted to cut her bangs again. They were getting so long! It was pretty easy to do, in the bath, but once it dried I realized I needed to cut more because the hair from the center of her head comes to the front. Oops. So, Wednesday night I fixed it and it looks pretty cute. Today I put her hair up in little pigtails for the first time - super duper cute! Here's a shot of that!



A note about Elijah: Last night was a bad night for sleeping. He was pretty much up from 1:30 to 4:30 in the morning. Still not sure what it was - trouble breathing again or dreams. Anyway, it was a tough morning. But, we did ok and actually had a breakthrough today! Before lunch he told me he had to go pee, so I put him on the potty and he announced to me that he was going to do a poop too. In the potty. Hello? I told him sure, that would be a good idea, thinking he wouldn't go through with it. But he did! Yay! So, he got a treat; some candy. And what do you know? He's done it twice more today! (Plus a big one in his pull up, but who's counting that?) So, is this a breakthrough?? You bet! He was super excited about it and got candy for it, so I think he's game to continue doing it. Yay Elijah!!
