12 month chair picture

Charlie's a big kid now! He's walking, climbing stairs, babbling and using a shape sorter these days. It's so neat to watch his cognitive skills change almost daily. I can't believe he's one...where did time go??? Adam and I love this kid so stinking much. It's been an honor to be his parent. We're looking forward to the awesome stages ahead!

Charlie's 1st birthday party

My semi-homemade cake



I didn't dig the cake smashing thing...









I need a nap, all that partying wore me out!




After a much needed nap, we headed to the pool with my Aunt Shelley and the kids...We had such a great time!

Lock up your daughters!
