12 month check-up!

DSC05126

Yesterday we had Charlotte’s 12 month checkup!  The doctor checked her over and said that she looked perfect! 

Here are her 12 month stats:

Weight: 18lbs 5oz (10th percent)

Height: 2’ 4 in. (25th percent)

Head Circumference: 46.5cm (85th percent)

She is still our itty-bitty girl!  Compared to Grant at one year, she weighs about 10 pounds less!  That is so crazy!  We love her and couldn’t be happier that she is a healthy girl!

Next we had to get 3 shots!  Initially we had to wait about an hour for our appointment and after shots this is how everyone was feeling!

Poor baby!  She went home and had some Tylenol and a nap and mommy had a Diet Coke! :)

Has it been a year already??

Has everyone just about given up on me ever updating the family blog again?  I totally would not doubt it if you had!  I apologize for not updating for so long.  With my photography business taking off there seems there is no time to update this blog and that one as well.  I don’t know how people write two blogs. 

Anyways, i am here to say that i will try harder to update this blog!  It is important to capture my kiddos memories!

Without further ado, I bring you Charlotte’s first birthday!!  (We are just going to start from here!)

We had a Cupcake themed birthday party at our house on the her actual birthday Sept. 25!  Here are the invitations!  I was so pleased with how they turned out!  Here is the front and the insides of the card.

Here are a few photos of the decorations!  There was lots of pink and green and cupcakes, of course!

We like to try to get a family photo before every birthday so this was this birthday’s attempt.  I think that Grant and Charlotte were ready to get down and play!  No pictures please!

Charlotte got lots of pink and baby doll gifts!  She loves her new strollers and Grant does too!  Grant likes to say “my baby is fussy, i need to go push her around!” Haha!

Next, we moved onto cake, well cupcake to be exact!  Charlotte did not know what to think of the candle, she wanted to grab it!  That made for a really nervous mommy taking photos.

After the singing was over she dove right in!  Although i am not sure she liked it after the first bite, and just had more fun playing in it.  She definitely did not was to get dirty either!

Such a fun time was had by all and everyone needed a long nap afterwards!  We are so blessed to have our “baby” Charlotte and sweet friends and family to celebrate special birthdays with us!
