Do you think we liked apple picking?

Yes, yes we did!

Charlotte is 11 Months Old!

Charlotte, you are 11 months old and you are such a delightful baby!

You are truly the sweetest, most joyful little girl. From the moment you wake up you are smiling and talking. You are so friendly. Whenever we go anywhere you wave and say hi to everyone. Sometimes if someone comes over to see you then you act shy and put your head down on me. I just want to remember all of the sweet and cute little things you do, just how you look, how your soft, chubby cheeks feel. I know just my words and pictures can’t truly capture you… I treasure every moment that I have with you.

You are quite the wild one Charlotte! You climb on everything! You are almost over the baby gate. You love to climb up on Genevieve’s chairs and onto her little table. You are truly fearless. You still love going to the Little Gym. You have so much fun there because you can climb wherever you want! You love to hang from the bars. You just giggle and giggle while you hang. You also love to go outside and run around on the grass. You pick up leaves and twigs and try to eat them. You get so excited when you are on the grass and you try to run and run. Then you start to topple over! It is so cute to watch.

What a big girl you are! You are growing out of your 12 month clothes and your 6-12 month Pedipeds barely fit you! I am not sure exactly how much you weigh. We will bring you to the doctor soon to find out. You are starting to eat a lot more now. You still prefer finger food, so that is what I try to give you more of. You are quite independent!

In Psalm 127 verse 3 it says “Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward.” Charlotte, you and Genevieve have blessed us more than I ever could have imagined. You truly are a precious gift from Him. I love you.

Can You Tell Me How to Get…

Something to Think About…

The Bible calls debt a curse and children a blessing. But in our culture we apply for a curse and reject blessings. Something is wrong with this picture!

The Little Gym

Charlotte took her first class at the Little Gym and absolutely loved it! She was so excited and had a great time. The next morning when she woke up, the first thing she did was try to tumble! Genevieve took her first class when she was 9 months old, just like Charlotte. I love that we can take Charlotte somewhere that is safe and fun for her to explore and move. She loved the balls and the bubbles. We had a great time. All four of us were there for her first class. Love this little girl!!!

Love

I am so in love with this girl! That smile, those cheeks, those dimples, those eyes!

And I love how you can see those teeth coming in! The top two are almost through.
