My Little Charlee

I can't believe its been 1 year. {sniff sniff} I know it seems like EVERYONE says that same exact thing. But its so true..........

My LAST baby is not a newborn anymore.......

She had her last can of formula

She is starting to use sippy's

She eats more then just baby food

I luv her!.

.

.

Miss Charlee was so hard to get here......

A sad time when I had a miscarriage before her.....

Had a HARD time getting pregnant {which is so not like me}

We struggled and all I wanted was to hold a baby...my baby!

I was teary for ALOT of months.

Finally---got pregnant!!.

And it was the most uncomfortable pregnancy I have ever had. It was HARD!!

.

FINALLY she came.......a room full of tears and joy from my family

It was so amazing how much she was loved from so many who didn't even know her.

Her she is.......all I wanted to to is cry and hold her!

She was perfect.

They noticed as they were cleaning her off that she had a defective ear.

not all the way developed with no opening.

I hear them talking.....

I wanted to SHOUT..........stop it! She is perfect!!!!!

I luv her ear.......Mike and I nibble at it all the time.......

I am so GLAD my sister captured this video of me and Charlee.....

Just minutes old!

awh.....brings tears to my eyes!

HERE SHE IS NOW!

all her scowling glory!

Yup------THIS IS CHARLEE!

Her famous look like everyone is dumb. :)

The first year was HARD!!! colic from HELL! {yes, i said hell} Both of us didn't stop crying till she was about 8 months old......ohh i think thats when she started to WALK! I think she was just mad she had to just sit and laydown.....

Charlee loves to play peek-a-boo...she actually puts her own hands up to her head.

She loves FOOD and crumbs of any kind!

Charlee is stubborn

Charlee does what she wants....she will push you down if you get in her way!

Charlee's new word it "HI"

She loves MAX to death!!!

She won't walk on grass

She loves to play hide and seek with Jackson

She hates the car {I think california ruined her}

Happy Birthday baby!

I luv you to peices!!!!!!

Apple bees and HI!

Charlee loves the front door!

She runs straight for it in PANIC when it opens cuz she is afraid it will close before she gets to it!

she Loves to just stand there! Plays with the door. Sits, talks to the outside world!

.

.

Her favorite word it HI!

She is going to be 1 in 2 days....:(

.

.

Mike and I had a date night last night.....

Couldn't find a babysitter so we took Charlee and Jackson with us {the girls were gone} To Applebees.

Jackson was so confused why it was called Applebees.

He says:

Mom, If there was a Bee on my Apple I would not eat it. It would sting my ton {tounge}

So I think they should call it Appleworm instead!

.

.

LOL!!!!!!!!!

.

.

Jacskon was in the bathroom......I heard him singing/humming this:

Don't ya wish your wadda wadda hot like me?

{Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?}
