And April 17, 2009



The Birthday Boy!!







We took advantage of the beautiful weather and drove to Peace Valley Park.

Daddy and Charlie



What a cutie!






The park is really beautiful!



Charlie loved the ducks!



Snack break before we hit the road!



Back at home opening some presents



Snapper wanted to help





Yippeeee! Blocks!



I'm not sure who was more excited, Daddy or Charlie...





Checking out our flowers outside...



Aunt Krissy came over to give Charlie his presents and spend some time with the birthday boy!




So sweet



Trying out the new blocks!




Aunt Krissy teaching Charlie how to show everyone he's one...



Like this...



Mama and her baby boy...



Our little family...



Reading On the Day You Were Born on the day he was born! This is one of my favorite books! I read it to Charlie BEFORE he was born and I still get a little misty-eyed at the end!





Goodnight, Birthday Boy!!



Saturday morning was very busy! My parents got here Friday night and we were all getting ready for Charlie's party!

I made Charlie a banana monkey cake! I thought it turned out pretty cute!





Finally! Charlie gets to eat his monkey cake...





Covered in chocolate and ready for his post-cake bath



Presents, balloons and a new wagon!






I can't believe how perfect the weather was! We had such a great weekend!
HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY, CHARLIE!! We love you!

One short week away...

I can't believe Charlie will be a year old in just one short week! Jeff and I have been thinking so much about our first year as parents and all of the amazing moments we have shared with our son. It's true what people say, a baby really does change your life over night. And we wouldn't have it any other way.



Charlie wasn't the most cooperative he could've been for these pictures, but they're still cute. Even without ANY smiles! I think part of the problem was that our photographer was a guy. Charlie prefers the ladies :) HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!
