Thank Heaven for Lil Girls

Charlotte is very close to turning one. Where did the time go?? She has had a pretty busy life since the last time I blogged. We went to Dallas for Thanksgiving. She had a blast eating turkey, sweet potatoes, and anything else should could get her hands on. She got to spend sometime time with her two cousins. Slate and Colin, they are 21months and 5 months. She loves them and I really wish that we lived closer to them so she could see them more often.

The most exciting thing about Thanksgiving is that Charlotte took her first steps on that day. IT was amazing to see!! She is still not full blown walking yet but she is taking steps all the time now... my little go-getter!!

She has also become way more vocal.. she has said Dada and Mama, Baby, Door and what sounded like Grandma..

She also loves books!!

I am so blessed that she is my daughter. I am mega excited about her First Birthday.. I need to get the invitations out really soon!!

We took Charlotte to get Christmas Pictures and some one year old shoots taken. She did prefect. I loved the place we took her too! Portrait Innovations.

Forget Brad and Angie! We are Mr and Mrs. Smith!

So it is official! Mason and I are now husband and wife. It is very exciting. The wedding was awesome. I think everyone had a great time. Charlotte was one of the flower girls. Although she did not walk down the aisle since she can't walk just yet (very close). We got married in Weatherford at the Willow Lake Wedding Gardens on October 17. I could not have asked for better weather. It was beautiful!






We did however, have to postpone our real honeymoon due to a hurricane that was lurking around Cabo and Puerto Vallharta. We plan on going in May. Thank God we got travellers insurance.

We ended up going to Fredricksburg for a little over three days. It was fun and relaxing but I am still looking forward to the real honeymoon later!


Here we are at Lukenbach

Halloween and now a cold

Charlotte's first Halloween was a great success. I took her on Friday to the children's museum and the daycare fall festival. On Saturday, we took some pictures at the pumpkin patch. Then we went to the neighborhood party. After the party, we handed out candy to the trick or treaters.

Looking like a little Doll


Charlotte was a lady bug for Halloween but I also had a pumpkin costume for the patch pictures.




She was not a big fan of the costume or the pumpkins. Apparently orange is not her favorite color. Which I can understand, since I went to A&M and Mason went to Tech.







She had way more fun being a lady bug and passing out candy!


Or just throwing it around!


The weekend was great but I think the weather change got to my lil girl and now she has a horrible cold. Not fun! She is still in good spirits and I know she is looking forward to next year when she can trick or treat for real. But only if she is wearing a very warm costume.

Friday before Halloween

Alot has been happening in the Smith House. Charlotte got to experience her parents getting married on October 17. It was a beautiful day and she loved it! Once I get the CD of the wedding pictures, I will be posting all of our photos.

Charlotte had her first Halloween. The daycare had a fall festival. The director took some pictures for us. Here is one of the family.



We also went to the Children's museum on Friday. She was having fun playing with my camera as I took pics with my phone.



I have more pictures to post so be on the look out!

Love this Picture

The daycare director was very sweet and sent this picture to me while I was at work.

Children's Museum

Joy, Rachelle and I took our kids to the children's museum in Houston on Friday. They have a brand new infant room for children from birth to 36 months. It is really great because Charlotte can practice walking and crawl around on the soft surfaces they have. They also have a mini children's library and a huge assortment of different toys. It was a blast and definitely will be a frequent play date place for Friday's off.


After she stole Averi's toy. The look of guilt.


Turning the knobs on this toy that you put balls in.


Go car! Go!


Caught in the act!


Looking at herself! She is so vain :)

7 months

I am so behind on my posts. Charlotte is almost 8 months old. The time flys when you are having fun :) She changes everyday and amazes me everyday. She loves to wave and clap and pull herself up on the coffee table. She has even started cruising a little.. the walking will soon follow I feel.. scary. We got her pictures taken a couple of weeks ago. Here are the unedited versions of the photos. I think she did really good.

Growing Growing Growing

Charlotte will be seven months in about 3 days. She is already doing so much. Here are some fun facts about Charlotte to date.

1)She started crawling when she was 6.5 months which is amazing
2)She loves to clap her hands
3)She loves her Baby Einstein music box
4)She loves to bang on her little piano

She also had her six month check up a couple of weeks ago. She was 17lbs 10oz and almost 28" long. She is a big girl.

I love watching her grow and I am so very blessed to be her mommy. Everyday she amazes me.
