Hanging out with Mom's College Friends

This weekend we got to go meet some of mom's college friends, Kim, Sarah, and Monica. We took over a Starbucks in Ocenside and I had fun playing with my new buddies, Brody and Anna while our moms got to catch up. We all had a great time.

Trip to Phoenix

For Labor Day weekend we went to Phoenix to visit our good family friends the Snyder's and Kohlmeier's. Besides being really, really HOT, we had a great time! Charlotte got to spend lots of time with her new buddy Canon, and she got to meet Kylie and brand new baby Addison too. Overall, it was a great weekend of relaxing and spending some quality time with great friends.

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!
