Summer Fun!

She's Walking!

Charlotte's been walking around for awhile now...here's a video of some of her first steps a few weeks ago. She's gotten much better now! The video's a little dark, but hopefully you'll get the general idea.There's actually not that much walking to see, a few steps at the beginning of the video and a few steps at the end. It's hard to get her to "perform" on command...but hope you enjoy!

Charlotte's 1st Birthday!

Well, the big day has come and gone, and I can't believe it's already over. Most of all, I can't believe Charlotte is already one year old! Time really does fly...

She did dive into the cake, and loved it! And it was a mess, ending up in her hair and everywhere else. It was so much fun though!

4th of July

Today was Charlotte's first time swimming. She loved it! The water felt great with how hot it's been recently, and it was a fun way to spend part of the day on the 4th of July.

This was my due date last year, and it's pretty crazy for me to look back and remember what it was like when we were anxiously awaiting Charlotte's arrival. And now I can't believe an entire year has gone by. The time really does go by fast.

Here she is just relaxing in her little floating device. I think she would have stayed in the water all day if we had let her!

But in the end she was all tired out, and went home for a nap.

And then off to a 4th of July party, where her friend James was very persistent in trying to give her a kiss. It was adorable!

A Year of Charlotte...

Since Charlotte is approaching her first birthday, we thought it'd be fun to highlight some pictures from her birth until now. Hope you enjoy!

Trip to San Luis

Last weekend I got to go up to San Luis to visit my Uncle Ben at college. I also go to see my aunt Jane and cousin Amanda. We had lots of fun visiting all of the places my mommy used to hang out at. Here I am at Montana de Oro State Park. It was windy and cold!

A little update...

Charlotte's been getting to be quite a busy little lady...she's been crawling all around, pulling herself up on furniture and getting into everything she possibly can. She also gives hugs to all her stuffed animals and her mommy and daddy and most other people who ask.



And during naptimes and at the end of the day, she's all tuckered out! Her favorite sleeping position is with her little tush up in the air.
