Happy 1st Birthday Charlie!!

It's hard to believe that it's been a year already!! I must admit that today is a little bitter-sweet for me. The memories of this day a year ago are tough to think about, but I am SO thankful for our little miracle that is Charlie. He is turning into such a fun, neat little kid who watches an airplane fly all the way across the sky or a little ant running along a sidewalk crack. He notices a tiny fuzzy on the floor and picks it up to place it in my hand. His favorite color is still red, and he absolutely loves making all kinds of noises with his mouth and by banging things together. He "reads" books like crazy, flipping the pages one at a time and talking to himself in his little squeaky voice. He loves to wave "bu-bye" at everybody (especially people coming on and off the train when we go to the loop). No walking yet, but he pulls himself to standing on everything he can reach.







We had a little backyard barbecue party to celebrate yesterday (we moved to a bungalow in Brookfield a month ago), and Charlie had a great time! He didn't make as much of a mess of the cake as I expected- he liked the frosting much better than the cake and was up to his elbows in it, but very little actually made it in his mouth. He had alot more fun with the tissue paper in the presents! :)

This coming year will bring all kinds of new experiences for Charlie (and his parents) I have no doubt!! We love our little guy!
