Charlotte's First Birthday!

Bryce and I took the day off to be with Charlotte on her very first birthday. It is such a monumental day for all three of us. We spent the day at the Aquarium and Charlotte absolutely LOVED it. She was pointing at everything and saying her gibberish words like she knew exactly what each thing was called. I couldn't tell her happy birthday or how much I loved her enough times today.

Checking out her beautiful new chair from Grandma and Grandpa McCratic....and a gift from Mommy and Daddy


Hmmm....what could it be?! (a little people build and carry birthday case)



From the moment we walked in the door Charlotte was pointing
and talking to those fish!


Entranced.







Just a few pictures for Mommy....



This place is too cool to sit in a stroller...although Charlotte did
walk with us for a part of the way.


Charlotte was not scared to touch anything! She was splashing and touching
everything she could.


Back at home....well rested from a nap and fed. Now it's time to play!


My new I'm One bib from Tara


Happy birthday sweet baby girl!!


She might not ever agree to eat carrots again!

My favorite pictures from the day:

  3. I'm glad you guys spent the day together. Happy Birthday, Charlotte! What a day, huh? She'll never have another FIRST birthday. Talk about a milestone. It's a little sad, too, though. She's growing up...and what a beautiful little girl she'll be. :)
