Charli's first birthday!!!

Our little Charli turned one today! She's not quite walking yet but soooo close. She 'cruises' all over the house and loves to push her toys while walking behind them. She talks all the time, we just don't understand most of what she says. I can make out dada, mama, baba (bottle), baa (blanket) and "that", which she says while pointing at whatever she wants at the time. She loves to reorganize all the cabinets and "read" any magazines or books within reach. She amazes me everyday and it brings tears to my eyes when I think of how blessed we are.

Happy Birthday Charli!!!!

Charli was really more interested in watching the other kids than the X-mas events.

Charli's day at the Beach

Actually it was a weekend in Cayucus at Lulu's each house. We had a girl's weekend there and everyone had a great time!! Charli loved the sand!

Welcome Piper Leigh Brown

We got to stop by the Brown house on Saturday and visit their new baby Piper. You can just barely see her on Noel's lap, surrounded by Campbell (in the pink) and Kennedy. She slept most of our visit but woke up just in time to say goodbye, she's darling!

Notice Charli on the floor attempting to down the benadryl.....hmm not a good sign.

The Halloween Wedding!

We went to a family wedding this Friday night, it was a Masquerade Ball!!! And of course Charli attended as a LadyBug.

Bounce House!!!

Chase's first birthday party also had a bounce house which was a huge hit!! Charli had to take off her dress to fully enjoy it though...... One of the few times Dad will be okay with that during her lifetime!



Gotta love the big ol' white belly

Sooo much fun!

Can't we stay just 1 more minute?!?!?

Our little LadyBug!

Charli's friend Chase turned one this weekend and had a great little costume party. Charli got to practice wearing her ladybug costume from Grandma Sue one week early! I must say I think she's the cutest bug around

I think we are going to have to get one of these!

Charli's always on her tippy toes!
