Charlie is getting really good at this pulling up thing. We think it’s pretty cute when she reaches to get something on her tiptoes….

Just Because….
….this baby’s booty is such a cutie!!!!
The Girlie
And so it is that Baby Charlie is no longer just a “baby”. What a strange and magnificent journey it’s been. We’ll still be blogging, never fear.
I thought I would close this “chapter” with a picture of the girlie on her very first day in the world. 6 pounds of feisty, giggly, girly joy.
Tutu Cute!!
So Mommy forgot to take the commemorative “monthly” shot with Fergie today. In lieu of that, we have some fetching shots of the birthday girl basking in the beautiful (end of) summer sun. This darling dress was a Forget Me Not Kids find, and has been taking up space in the closet for oh…about 8 months now. Worth the wait, no???

Charlie’s First Brunch Outing, circa September 2007….
Today, Mommy, Daddy, & Aunt Em took Charlie to “Feast” in Bucktown for a delicious….feast! This red velvet cupcake was a special birthday treat for the big girl. Notice the layers of tulle…..on the girl, not the cupcake!!The Best Seat in the House
Forward-facing for the very first time…..
A Birthday Message from Daddy!
It’s difficult to imagine that a year has already passed since we were blessed with Charlie. It’s difficult to imagine how we ever got by without her. She reminds us, everyday, what Christ’s unconditional love looks like… feels like… and what a warm feeling it is.
Her relentless determination is matched only by her incredible sense of wonderment. I pray those never fade.
Thankfully, she looks like her mother, loves people like her mother, and has the ability to improve any room she inhabits… just like her mother. Seeing them together is dazzling.
Thanks to each of you for your ongoing prayers, for your guidance, and for celebrating and loving Charlie in such meaningful and genuine ways. How interesting that this past year has really revealed to me what Christ’s love looks like. What an incredible blessing from God.
