I did it. Well, actually I completed the 365 day challenge yesterday since there is an extra day in 2012 due to a leap year but I just considered that a bonus day in case I happened to miss a day. I didn't though! Here's the last picture of the year:



Charley and her cousins all holding their Cabbage Patch Kids and watching Rockin' New Years Eve. It's crazy to see how big she is on the last day of the year compared to the wee little thing she was on the first day of the year.

I think I'll keep this going because I enjoyed it. I may not be as dilligent, but I really like forcing myself to have my camera out at all times because the babe grows and changes so much at this age.

On to the next year!

I checked out the progress on our house this evening and discovered our tubs and showers had been installed. I am so darn excited for this big jetted tub!

Nothing to see here! Just a silly, naked, screaming baby standing in a box.

Inspecting some Christmas ornaments.

I have a million pictures from today. Charley was especially photogenic, but this one was definitely my favorite.

December 7, 2012

Charley found her favorite section of Lowe's tonight: the singing, dancing, obnoxious holiday stuffed animals. (Truthfully she was afraid of them once I turned them on.)

She may have seen Mama or Daddy doing this exact thing a time or two before.

Perfect sized chair for a teeny girl.

November 19, 2012

Our temporary setup. My brother's old bedroom, mattresses on the floor, and clothing racks to compensate for the non-existent hanging space in the closet. It might not be ideal, but we are so grateful to have a place to stay, and it's good company to boot!

November 18, 2012

Slowest house building process ever!
