Charlie is growing up! (10 and 11-month photos)

Charlie is 11 months old now, and he's getting more and more personality every day.


He's crawling like a champ, and nothing makes him giggle more than chasing or being chased by Katie or Daddy. He's also pulling up on everything, and we were thrilled when the photographer caught him standing without holding on for one of the first times at our 10-month photo shoot.


 

 

The past two months have seen a steady progression in Charlie's ability to pull up, and he has an amazing reach. All of a sudden, things we thought were babyproofed are no longer safe. More than playing with toys, he loves to explore the house and the items he finds. There's never a dull moment with Charlie!




Charlie started waving bye-bye at the beginning of November, and he knows and uses the sign for milk. We were also amazed to see that he has learned how to snap his fingers, which seems like it must be some kind of record. He entertains himself sometimes by snapping while he nurses.

 

Charlie also says "duh" when he sees the dogs, and has for some time now. We're still waiting on any variation of "Mommy" and "Daddy."

His tooth count has moved up to eight - an even set on top and bottom. This gives our little guy a great toothy smile that he's happy to share.



Finally, Katie dressed us all as characters in the show "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" this Halloween, and Charlie was the little boy pirate "Cubby". Here he is with his namesake. If only he had been willing to keep on the bandana!
