I cannot believe how Charlee has grown, not just in size, but in her personality too. She weighs 12.4 and should be between 24-25 inches long. She is a long baby. Last time she was measured, she was in the 98% percentile for height. I have packed all the newborn outfits away and will be doing the same with her 3 month clothes very soon. Size 1 diapers are getting too small...I can remember when they were so big on her, we had to fold down the top. Time flies! She looks so big in her carseat now and is on the verge of rolling over. She laughs and smiles all the time and makes oohs and aahhs. She has a very high pitched scream too, that she enjoys hearing. She loves being held by both mommy and daddy and we love dancing around with her to music...mostly the oldies!
TJ and I have been wanting this....her to get bigger and the surgery date to come quicker. Her surgery is tentatively scheduled for December 19. But, the more I watch her grow and change, I maybe want to freeze time a bit. I hear moms say that this time will fly by and soon she'll be walking and you'll want those baby days back. I have realized that I want to take every day as it comes and Cherish these precious moments, when I can rock her to sleep and hold her in my arms. On the other hand, we just want to get through her surgery. We both are dreading that day...to have to see our little baby girl head into surgery and be put under. It seems like such an ordeal for a ten month old to go through. I know I will have to put a tough front on for her, but I will be a mess inside. But, I also know that she is strong. She has proven that to us since day 1 and I have no doubt that she will adapt and thrive, just like she has the last several months. We have been blessed with a happy, beautiful baby and I wouldn't change one thing about her!
