My almost eight month old. It goes so fast.

I love chubby baby hands!

Charley and I met up with some friends at the zoo today! I was a slacker on the picture-taking, but I did get this one taken of Charley and I in front of the monkeys. I was the only one cooperating, apparently.

April 27, 2012

Good morning, sweet girl!

April 26, 2012

Tonight Charley found a long, lost pacifier at the bottom of her toy basket. She took a pacifier for about one day total and never wanted anything to do with one since then. But, she had fun playing with it tonight!

Spring is here again which means I spend some time outside tending to my flowers each afternoon. This year I have a little helper too who seems to enjoy it!

April 24, 2012

We're in the very early stages of building a house which includes clearing the property. We visited the land tonight to see how it was going. Here we are sitting in our living room.

April 23, 2012

Overstimulated? Or just assuring that she doesn't get bored too soon?

April 22, 2012

I was having trouble fitting a book or two into our bedtime routine, so instead for now Charley gets read two books each afternoon when we get home. She loves to be read to!

April 21, 2012

You're doing it wrong.

April 20, 2012

Bathtime is SO fun!

April 19, 2012

Just me & my girl.

April 18, 2012

We have sold SIX bird mobiles this week (we aim to sell ONE a week normally) so every night has looked just like this this week.

Charley drove a tractor for the first time today! I think her grandaddy may have enjoyed it more than she did!

April 16, 2012

Hair makes for the best "handles" when getting a shoulder ride!

April 15, 2012

Although my birthday was yesterday, we celebrated with my family today. Cake, ice cream, presents and family time...the best way to spend a birthday!

April 14, 2012

John and I went to our good friend Daniel's wedding this evening! It was a beautiful outdoor wedding, which I would have thouroughly enjoyed had I not developed crazy allergies TODAY. Just my luck! My eyes watered the entire ceremony and I'm sure the rest of the wedding guests thought I was the most emotional wedding guest ever!

April 13, 2012

My brother got married this afternoon! Congratulations Colt and Racheal!

April 12, 2012

We spent the evening trying on dresses for tomorrow's wedding we are attending. We decided on this one for my pretty Charley.

April 11, 2012

Playing in her room tonight!

April 10, 2012

Somebody really missed their daddy. And he really missed her too.

April 9, 2012

After 10 nights away, Charley was so happy to be back in her own bed tonight. As am I....zzzzzz....

April 8, 2012

Happy Easter!

April 7, 2012

She's so happy in the mornings. I've affectionately dubbed this period of extreme happiness "happy hour."

April 6, 2012

So darn cute.

April 5, 2012

Another beach day! Charley played in the water today with her cousins. She absolutely loved it!

April 4, 2012

We climbed the Ponce de Leon Lighthouse today. Well, I climbed it and Charley rode in her Beco Gemini carrier. I don't know why she was so tired...I was the one carrying her!

April 3, 2012

While I've tried putting Charley's feet in the water each night and all I've been met with are tears and cries, I tried again this evening. It looks like she likes it!

April 2, 2012

Charley had her first taste of sand today & she liked it; both sitting in it and eating it. I also got the pleasure of my first time bathing a sandy baby. Sand seems to get in every crevice, just so you know.

Despite her facial expression, Charley absolutely loved swinging today.
