Charlees First Birthday




My baby girl is one! I never could have imagined how quickly we would be at this point! We are so very lucky to have such a good little girl. She brings nothing but joy and happiness to our lives everyday and we can't wait for what the upcoming years will bring. Mommy and Daddy love you Charlee<3

We just had a little get together at the house for Charlee's bday. Well, there was actually almost 30 people here! It took quite a bit of work on our part, but it was well worth it! Charlee had a blast and got a TON of presents! I wasn't really expecting her to really get the concept of opening presents yet, but she had it down. She was getting so excited when she got the wrapping paper off. It was so cute! I think her favorite gift was a pink and purple ATV that Aunt Kelly and Uncle Brian got her. I didn't think she would get that either, but she hopped right on and started riding all over the yard! She really likes to stand up and ride it too, which makes Mommy really nervous!

Charlees 1 year check up went great too! She is still way underweight(19lbs) and really tall for her age(34in), but we knew that was coming. I am not that concerned about it at all though. I think she eats and drinks just fine for a 1 year old. She will start gaining more weight eventually. Other than that, she was pefectly healthy and we are very BLESSED for that!

On another note, I started working full time again. It isn't too bad because I only work 3 days a week, but 12 and half hour shifts! As much as I love my baby girl, I love my job too and it is nice to be in "adult world" 3 days a week.

Well, we are going camping at Indiana Beach this weekend with Kreigs parents, so I have alot of packing to do.
