She thinks I'm funny! ;)

 

 

I was too late with the camera and she was completely over saying "mama"

 

 

Whew! What a month! This has been the most fun and most tiring age yet! I feel like I never stop and sitting has become a luxury. This month has been filled with many firsts and I don't think the camera has left my side. Here is an update of the past month:

 

• Scarlett has gotten her first tooth
• She experienced her first Alabama touchdown and screamed like crazy
• She tried rice cereal using a spoon and did great!
• She made her first baby friends at her first play date. (We have met some very sweet moms and kids at a couple of play dates. We are excited about making new friends here and look forward to the next one!)
• She's found her toes and will occasionally put them in her mouth!
• Went to the beach and pool for the first time in Myrtle Beach, SC. (She loved it!)
• Successfully sounded out "mama" for the first time. She said it a few times, but I haven't been able to get her to say it again.
• Her weight and height is in the 90th percentile for her age! She's going to be tall like Alex!
• She can wear 9 month size clothes
• She wants A LOT of attention and loves to be held.
• She can grab and hold her toys and immediately sticks them in her mouth.
• She LOVES Dragon Tales and screams at me if I turn it off. She also loves Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
• She is still sleeping well throughout the night. She wants to go to bed around 8pm and will sleep until 7am.

This has been such a fun month and I am so excited about the many more firsts we will experience together. We are also loving Charlotte and have found it is one of the most welcoming places we have ever lived in. Alex and I are enjoying all that this great place has to offer and look forward to building many more great friendships.

 

 

Thanks for checking in on us!

 

Hugs and Kisses,

 

Emily and Scarlett
