She loves to eat everything in sight especially waffles, mac and cheese and chicken nuggets!
She has three teeth and a few more coming in.
She has become such a good sleeper!
She is talking/babbling alot more.. she said car the other day or at least that is what it sounded like!
She is pointing at everything in sight!
She is very curious! She is always exploring.

She had a wonderful Birthday Party! It was lady bug themed! A ton of our friends and family helped us celebrate the joyous occasion! She got so many wonderful gifts! Her favorite is the chair Mason and I gave her.. she loves to sit in it and hang out!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Snuggle Bug! Mama loves you more then anything!

First Christmas!! 2009

Charlotte had a wonderful Christmas! First we opened up gifts here in Sugar Land, then she got to go to Grandmama's and open gifts, then to Grandpa's to open gifts,then to Grandma's and open gifts!! Mason believes she will think Christmas is a three day holiday! She also got to experience a white Christmas for her first Christmas!







Not a big fan of the SNOW! She is a Houstonian after all!

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.
