Halloween 2012

Last year was Charlotte's FIRST Halloween!
She was soo cute in her festive Pumpkin Suit and Halloween Jammies!
This year I'm looking forward to her participating a wee bit more, now that she can walk!
 
 
Our first family trip was to the Pomona Pumpkin Patch!
We're planning on going again this year to get our pumpkins
and maybe have some fun at the Fall Festival.

Cute Halloween Outfit

It actually was really hot and sunny!


Daddy with his Pumpkin Pie


Nice mom, put the new baby in the blazing sun!

Darling!
 


 
 
 
We spent Halloween Night outside with our neighbors,
as has been out tradition since moving in 4 years ago.
Charlotte was having a fussy night....until Felicia got ahold of her!
Felicia and her magic touch!

Hey, I think I know you!


Michael as a Vampire....surprise! Haha!



She's so cute I could just BITE her!!...wait... 



 
We also got to see her first smiles!
  
Smiling!
 


First smile with a little giggle!
 
 
After all the festivities, we just lounged about and enjoyed our sugar coma!
 

Daegan trying to decide if those
spiders on her feet are going to move!


My First Halloween!
Try not to eat the baby please.



Rock on!



Charlotte Turns One!

Here is the post you've been waiting for!
(For which you've been waiting??)
Sorry mom
 
Charlotte's First Birthday!
Be prepared for photo overload!
 
The theme I, we, I went with started with a color palette and transformed into an awesome Tea Party!
I am sooooo overwhelmingly happy with how everything turned out!
And, the most important thing - EVERYONE had fun!
 
 
 
I made a chalkboard poster of Charlotte's stats for the front door
 
 
 
We had fun (I think? Well, I did!) making the decorations,
planning the food, and setting everything up.

What were we doing last October?

Last October we were getting used to our new addition!
Here are some pictures of her first few weeks.

Loves Being Held
Smaller than Daegan!
Precious Little Bundle
Perfect Baby


























Can't Forget Our Fur Babies!
Murdock is wondering how long this thing is going to stay. And honestly, I think Daegan
doesn't even know she's here. He thinks all these new toys are for him!

Hanging out together
What IS this new thing??

Getting a LOT of love
from everyone!
Miss Heather getting her snuggles!

First Bath!

You'd think a bath is a bath, right?
Nope.
How many people does it take to bathe a babe? Haha!
Getting Ready
Here we go!
Which end is up?
We can figure this out....right?
Water goes here...
Wash...
Rinse...
Wipe...
Repeat...
I can't believe she's not screaming!
No damage done!
Who ARE these people?
I hope they know what they're doing!
Oh Boy
And now for my Manicure!
We did it!
We She survived!!
