Charlie is all over the place. If you've been tracking her website, you've seen her progression from rolling over, to crawling, and now to "cruising".
This has all happened SO FAST. It really is amazing that she has just turned 10-months old. I seriously feel like it was yesterday that I was handing my cell phone to the injured kids on my soccer team and telling them, "if my wife calls while we're practicing, go get her and take her to the hospital and I'll get there as soon as I can!"
Of course... I was kidding!!
Now Charlie is out on the very same field WITH ME, pushing her stroller around the field as she gets ready to walk!
Seriously. She has to be the happiest kid I've ever seen. She NEVER stops smiling, and now she and I have this game with her toes that she just loves! She laughs out of control without me even having to touch her feet. The anticipation alone gets her cracking up! She's crazy!
Welll, happy Fall everyone! We're loving the cool weather again!

So busy...
Without a doubt, I have been busier in the last two months than ever before. My business has been crazier than ever in the last 4-6 months because of the changing nature of the industry. My summers are always packed with soccer and various other outdoor activities.
Add to all this, my beautiful daughter getting more and more mobile every day, and Beck and I haven't had time to take a deep breath.
Charlie is quickly blossoming into this incredibly happy and hillarious little girl. It's hard for us to remember almost 10 months ago now, when she was just a little infant coming home with brand new parents who were scared out of their minds. She is such a little girl now.
She pulls up on everything and stands now literally using as few as 1 or 2 fingers to hold on while standing. She can now work her way across a room using stools, walls, ottomans, and even her high chair to get just enough support to get where she wants to go.
We have gates up all over the house now. It's fun to watch Charlie explore on her own. She will crawl out of the room, but not too far that she forgets where we are in case she gets a little scared. Then she'll come crawling back as fast as she can!
Everyone we see keeps saying she's just weeks away from walking on her own... I think it may be a few more months, but I could be wrong. The other day, I had her on the soccer field with me and she stood up behind her stroller and pushed it ALL THE WAY across the width of the field. That's almost 70 yards. Then I turned the stroller around and she pushed it all the way back!!
I wish I had my video camera that day. It was so exciting to watch her work so hard!! The kids on my team were all amazed at how determined and strong she was. So fun.
