Little Charle has become such a big girl at only 10 months
old. She’s developing too fast for my
taste. She’s been rambling syllables
for several months now and I’m finally getting to where I can understand MOST
of what she says. She still has full
conversations with me and I couldn’t tell you a single word she has said.
Charle FINALLY SAID MOMA!!!! This past week while my grandmother was visiting
she worked with her on saying GG for great-grandma and Charle said it in just 3
days. Then the next day she said Meme (my mom wants to go by Meme instead of
grandma) so I knew she really was capable of saying Moma but was refusing and
being a stubborn little girl. Yesterday
I put up the gate so she couldn’t get in the kitchen and she got really mad and
had one of her normal “I’m not getting my way tantrums” and she hit me and
cried Moma. I was so excited that she
said my name that I didn’t even tell her “no” for hitting me. I’m also surprised she hasn’t started saying
no yet because I swear she hears it at least 100 times a day. My grandmother also was trying to work on
Charle waving and saying bye bye but I wanted her to blow kisses and say bye
bye.. I WON!! She now puts her hand to her mouth and blows a raspberry then
says bye bye. Proud Moma here..
I have a little organizer on my hands. Bug likes to take things out of baskets and
then turn around and put them right back in.
With the exception of last night, she emptied her toy basket and then
just spread everything across the living room.
Baths used to be a breeze and Charle loved them until she was about 5
months old, ever since them it’s a scream fest and she panics if she even sees
her bathtub being filled with water. I
switched her from the infant bath to the toddler tub I have which is a blow up
duck bathtub that quacks. She still
wasn’t impressed and continued to panic.
She loves pools though so this past Saturday Caitlin and I took her
outside in her bathing suit and filled up her duck and put her in it under the
tree. She LOVED it and splashed around
for about 30 min. Charle just loved the
splashing part because she climbed out of it twice just to turn around and
splash the water with her hands while sitting out of the water. She had a really messy dinner that night so
I had to give her a bath. While I was
filling the tub with water, she had the most pathetic whine and clung to
me. She even started fussing a little
once I put her in the water but I showed her she could splash and she lit up in
excitement and bath time has been play time since then!
I found this new gadget on a blog in which the person was bashing this and calling parents lazy.. I personally think this is one of the best inventions!!!
The blogger said something about making more of a mess but it has prevented Charle from kicking the bowl of food out of my hand and landing all across the carpet in the living room. I got this blue one for free off of amazon from using my free giftcards that I earn from using swagbucks.
