We had our friends and family over for a picnic on Charlotte's birthday. We actually celebrated on Monday, her actual birthday. Here she is with Nana in a rare picture sans pacifier.

Two kids, one photo, zero eyeballs on the camera. Oh well!

As you can see, Charlotte is a pinky grip away from walking on her own.

She was really interested in her presents. This is a pin that says "Adeline" on it (Charlotte's middle name, named after her great-grandmother Bestamor). The pin was given to Bestamor Adeline on her fourth birthday in 1918. It is a beautiful treasure and was so special to receive. Thank you!

Charlotte liked reading her birthday cards! She also got some really cute clothes - you'll just have to wait for the pictures in the blog once she wears them!

She is also really excited about this toy, a talking doggie. I had to go online to program it, but it can now say "I love you Charlotte" and plays a bunch of music that I selected, among other talents. Thanks Uncle Floyd & Auntie Kathie! And thank you to everyone for celebrating with us and for supporting us as we raise our kids. You are a wonderful bunch of family and friends!
