Our Little Sweetheart Turned One!

Our little sweetheart has turned one! This year has been a whirlwind. I feel like we just brought her home from the hospital yesterday. Charlotte has been the perfect addition to our family and we couldn't imagine life without her. She is an affectionate little girl ready to give hugs and kisses to everyone she meets. Even people in the grocery store. She always has a smile on her face and lights up every room that she enters. She has a great sense of humor and is a joy to be around. She isn't walking yet, but is a veracious crawler. She eats like a champ and especially loves broccoli and any kind of meat. At her one year check up Charlotte weighed in at 21 lbs. 12 oz and measured 30 inches long. Oh how we love this little girl!!!


Here are a few pictures from Charlotte's sweetheart themed birthday party. We held the party at my parent's house in Yorktown, VA. Both of our parents, grandparents, several of our siblings, and many dear friends came to celebrate with us.

Thanks Tutu for letting me drinking out of your big cup.

Hey Daddy I can blow out my own candles!!

Hmmm...this cake is good!

Charlotte's BFF Grace gives her some much needed help with presents.

I'm ready for some sun.

Charlotte did great opening gifts. Thanks everyone for your generosity.

Charlotte's exciting day ended with a story from her Pops.
