1. Charlotte was weighed yesterday. 27 lbs 6 oz. She's on the 8th percentile!
2. She now is 35 inches tall. Made it to the 3rd percentile! yahoo!
3. She's at 97% for her weight to height ratio. So she's the right size : )
4. She eats 91 calories per kilo! And the feeding clinic says she's supposed to be between 90 and 100!
5. All we have to do is wait out the drinking of the fluids before she gets to the g-tube removed. She is supposed to have about 37oz for her weight/age. orally, she only drinks about 3-8oz. Depending on the day. The rest is made up from her pump.
6. Mom and Dad are happy the feeding clinic is happy that we are doing all we can and that now it's up to Charlotte. And knowing Charlotte she'll get it done.
7. She gives THE best hugs.
8. She's so stable in her walking....moreso than when she first started.
9. She loves Easter Egg hunts. She's really really good at them : )
10. She signs like crazy. She has to show everyone how she can count, spell her name and sign the alphabet.
11. She is CRAZY about her doll. CRAZY. I'm not joking. At school, she let's everyone know that her doll is asleep in her bed (in her homework cubby) like 5 times a second. It's so funny.
12. She's got the most beautiful face and hair.
13. She's a trooper. Obviously can endure whatever is in front of her.
14. Loves school. She loves to learn and loves to soak everything in.
15. She is the kindest little girl. Always concerned for Jack and for all the other little children at church and school. She will get Reagan (from school) kleenex if she thinks she needs it.
16. We just love her so much! I'm so grateful for her and that I was given her. I wouldn't change her or anything about her for the world.

Sweet Charlotte, you know what is fun for me is I feel like I know a lot of these things about her. I love watching her with her doll at school she is so funny with it. And she is so sweet, I love how she is always so concerned about Luke and Reagan getting their turns with the drum. I also love watching her sign, she amazes me all the time, what a sweetheart.
I think you are the busiest mom ever with this sweet little girl. It so amazing to see how much she has changed in the 9 months we have been gone. I love to hear about her communication, walking, and eating. Does she still love chips?
Alright. . . seriously? TOXIC by Britney? EWWWW! LOL!
