7 pounds 8 ounces, 19 inches long
SUNDAY, MARCH 23, 2008AS WE LOOK AT OUR SWEET LITTLE LADY, IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT SHE HAS BEEN WITH US A YEAR NOW. IT HAS GONE BY SO FAST! OUR YEAR HAS BEEN FILLED WITH MANY PRECIOUS MEMORIES AND MILESTONES AS WE HAVE WATCHED CHARLOTTE GROW INTO A VERY SPUNKY GAL. SHE FILLS OUR DAYS WITH LAUGHTER, CHEER, AND DEEP SATISFACTION. HER NATURAL CURIOSITY, LOVE OF MUSIC AND BOOKS, PERSISTENCE, CHATTER, GIGGLES, AND FACIAL EXPRESSIONS FILL OUR HOME WITH IMMENSE JOY. WE TREASURE OUR LITTLE CHARLA-DO, AND CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE NEXT YEAR BRINGS! THANK YOU FOR LOVING OUR LITTLE GIRL, AND INVESTING IN HER LITTLE LIFE. WE TREASURE OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS, AND HAVE BEEN SO BLESSED TO SHARE CHAR'S FIRST YEAR OF LIFE WITH YOU!
OUR LITTLE BIRTHDAY GIRL.
AT THIS POINT IN THE DAY, CHARLOTTE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHY EVERYONE IS SO EXCITED TO SEE HER. SHE EVENTUALLY WARMS UP TO THE CROWD.
AUNTIE DAWNIE AND BOB.(CHARLOTTE IS HAPPY ON THE INSIDE TO SEE THEM.)
THE "BURGER" CLAN MINUS COUSIN TYLER. (CHARLOTTE DOES NOT HARBOR ANY NEGATIVE FEELINGS TOWARDS HER COUSIN TY.)
"IT'S MY PARTY...I'LL THROW UP IF I WANT TO."
CHARLOTTE'S SEAT OF CHOICE.
"SERIOUSLY...ARE ALL OF THESE FOR ME?"
"APPARENTLY, MOM GETS A KICK OUT OF ME READING CARDS."
"I COULD HUG THIS ALL DAY!" 
UPON RECEIVING A SESAME STREET MEDICAL KIT CHARLOTTE WONDERS..."DOES THIS MEAN I'M GOING TO BE A DOCTOR, TOO, WHEN I GROW UP?"
THE BIG PRESENTATION. 
"CAN I EAT THIS STUFF EVERYDAY?!"

AFTER A FULL DAY, CHAR IS READY FOR A NAP! "PAPA, THAT FROSTING HAS MY BELLY HURTIN'!"

ReplyDeleteI love this post! I have been stalking your blog several times a day since the party, waiting for it. :) Thanks for sharing Char's special day with all of us. We love her and are thankful that God made her exactly how she is! P.S. When I ask Robbie 'Where's Charlotte?' during breakfast, he points to her picture on our refrigerator and then smiles and makes his lovey sound!!! HORRAY!
