Tummy Time!

Charlotte's Newborn Pictures!

These were taken when Charlotte was 10 days old. So precious!

Trip To The Zoo!

Another benefit of not working outside of the home is being able to take your kids to the zoo on a Wednesday when there aren't huge crowds!

 My pretty girl!

Aunt Dusty and Cousin Chase joined us for our outing. I love that we were able to spend this time together.

 Chase was our animal whisperer throughout the day.

 This is what Charlotte did the entire time. Daniel and I went on a lunch date together yesterday and Charlotte slept through that too. Wish she slept this soundly at home!

 Morgan fed the giraffes and wasn't scared at all. She was actually cracking up. Very fun!

 Love the below series of Aunt Dusty and Morgan. Morgan sure loves her Aunt!

 The boys.

 Before I end this entry, I just wanted to mention that Charlotte doesn't seem to be fond of reading yet.

One Month Old!

I'm going to try to take a photo of Charlotte every month for the first year of her life so we can see her growth. Here's her one month photo taken on December 28th, 2011.

 I added the below two pictures because you can never have too many newborn photos.

Charlotte's Hospital Picture

It was important to me to get hospital pictures of Charlotte because I never got the chance to get any with Morgan. I loved the pictures the hospital photographer took! I chose the cheapest package which meant that we only got one pose but I'm still thrilled with them. I love that Daniel is holding her in his hand and I love that his Aggie ring is showing. These pictures were taken while we were all waiting for me to be discharged from the hospital. It was a very happy time and I'll always think of those days when I look at this picture.

Christmas 2011!

This year we got the privilege of visiting with Aunt Julie and the cousins a couple of days before Christmas!

 Some Christmas time moments...

Oscar the cat 

 Morgan and I made cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve.

 Some of my earliest, fondest memories of Christmas is watching Christmas cartoons in the dark in a back bedroom on Christmas Eve.  

 Morgan accidentally dropped Santa's cookies but he didn't seem to mind. He ate them anyway. My sister's house is so clean that you could eat off her floors anyway. :)

 Oops!

 Can't forget the milk!

 Christmas morning...

 Cutest Christmas bloomers ever! Oh, and the the booties are adorable too! Charlotte got those in her stocking.

 My girls on Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas! Not sure why I don't have any pictures of Daniel...Sorry Babe! I actually felt like I was too busy having fun to take many pictures this year.
