Update on Charli

I've been horrible about updating the blog! Here are a cluster of Charli photos over the last month, and I still have a few to add. Charli started walking just a week ago, and she's already ready to run! She loves to go for jogs with Mommy, reorganize every cabinet in the house, dance to music and push her toys around the living room. She talks all day long and loves to give you things. She has started taking items from the bedroom and bringing them to daddy in the living room, then go back for more, she is very generous! She also discovered pears on a recent grocery store visit. She picked one up as we walked by them and immediately started eating it. She wouldn't put it down for much of the day. It was the funniest thing!

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.
