*You have finally started to eat something other than peas! Your palette is expanding...we've successfully started sweet potatoes, green beans, broccoli, mandarin oranges, blueberries, and apples. As long as they're whole and not pur'eed you will eat them. It is confirmed, do not like the pureed texture at all!
*As I've learned about your distaste for baby food, I've noticed something pretty funny. You are always an open mouth smiler. No matter what....we can almost guarantee to get a laugh out of you. However, when the baby food comes out, you immediately zip your lips up tight and refuse to show us your usual smile. It's so cute because you want to smile so badly, but you know if you do, we will slide some food in there. So you grin from ear to ear....lips zipped. It's so funny!
*When we put you on the changing table, you immediately twist your body around to grab for the wipes package. It's like clockwork. I lay you down, you grab for the wipes and if I don't get them for you or you can't reach them, you let me know you're not happy about it! :)
*I've noticed you love the feeling of different textures and fabrics. You will spend lots of time rubbing pillows, stuffed animals, and scratching your nails on various other things just to feel them and hear their sounds. I need to get you a tag blanket, stat!
*You are sitting up like a champ! You are even starting to do turns on the floor when you're on your belly, so I know the crawling stage will come soon. You like to go backwards instead of forwards, which is so cute.
*Your naps seem to get shorter and shorter. :/ I'm hoping with the newly introduced foods that they will start to go back to normal. We will see!
*You have started to really blow some strawberries with your mouth lately and you think it's so funny!
*We've transitioned into the high chair recently because we just can't trust you in the Bumbo. You are a squirmer and so handsy! You are a curious little thing and I feel like I can contain you better in the highchair for right now.
*When we have you sitting on our laps you love to rock. It's as if you are trying to rock right off our laps. We keep a pretty tight grip on you just in case (you are so much more active than Ansley was at this age).
*You are 27.5 inches long (80%) and 17.5 lbs (49%). You are taller than most, but about average in weight. Your thighs are cute and chunky and we can't stop squeezing your rolls :)!
Your sister loves you so much and wanted to get in on the picture after her bath. I LOVE this picture of you two.
We love you sweet Charli and thank the Lord everyday for His perfect and wonderful gifts. You are one of them!
