Today Charlotte turned nine months old. She has been teething (AGAIN SO SOON!) again this week and had a 102 fever on and off for the last two days. She is finally not feverish anymore, but is still drooly, snotty, and generally cranky and unpleasant. However, she is eating a variety of foods, such as grilled cheese and avocado, she loves Sesame Street, and she says "doo, doo, doo" all. day. long. She just recently began clapping (pictured below) and waving bye bye. We love her!

This is when Charlotte pulled herself up on the table last week.

And finally, this afternoon Charlotte, wearing her tutu again, was scooting on her belly on the floor and being generally crabby. Eventually she got her pacifier in her mouth and decided that a sunny spot on the living room carpet was the perfect place for an afternoon nap.

Look at how crazy her toes were during her nap!

Oh yes, one more thing. The last three mornings when I go to check on Charlotte (she's been sleeping in due to fevers keeping her up at night + daylight savings time) she is sleeping on her belly with her butt sticking up in the air. We tried to get a photo this morning, but it was too dark in her room and we didn't want to wake her up. She's so kooky.

*Is anyone able to open these pictures to make them bigger? I don't know what I'm doing wrong. It's probably Mac's fault.
