Birthday Invites

Charlotte's Birthday Party is all set and invites are out!! I am so excited to celebrate her first year with family and close friends! Here are the invites we sent out this week:

1 Year Pictures (Sneak Peek!)

This past Sunday we met the amazing Jen Ruby-Durst from Ruby Photography at Hodag Park for Charlotte's 1 year pictures! I can't believe our baby girl is going to be a year old already. It brings tears to my eyes just typing it. She is growing up so fast! Here is a sneak peek at some of the photos from the shoot.

 

More to come soon!!

11 Months

 

I feel like the months keep going by faster and faster! In one month my baby girl will be a year old! She is growing up too fast for me. She is absolutely beautiful and so smart. She has such a great sense of humor and is very determined. I'm so proud to call her my daughter and love her more everyday, if loving her any more than I do is possible.

 

She is either walking or running every where now!

 

All smiles all the time! 

 

She loves days at Grandma LeClair's house.

 

GO BREWERS!! She gets very excited over the games! Can't wait for football season!

 

She loves her turtle at Grandma & Grandpa's house.

A Greek Chicago Wedding!

This past weekend my cousin Rick got married to the lovely Andrea. It was a traditional Greek Wedding in Chicago. The ceremony was gorgeous as was the bride. Charlotte had such a great time playing with all her cousins. 

 

The Bride and Groom!

 

Having a drink before heading to the ceremony.

Showing off her walking skills at the church. She went up and down a million times on that curb. She loves climbing steps.

 

Aunt Jessica was able to stop by for a bit!

 

Charlotte was a terror on the dance floor!! She was bee boppin' to the music all night long!

Having a great time in the pool with her cousins Mara and Abbey.

 

She was such a good girl and shared all her toys with Mara and Abbey.

 

Bath time!! Got to get clean for bed! She refuses to sit. She would rather stand and kick the water every where!!

 

Before the wedding we stopped and visited Grandma & Grandpa Grandt. Grandma, Charlotte and I went to the Apple Orchard and got some goodies!!

 

We got the mini horses ready and Grandpa took Charlotte and I for a ride!

 

She had such a great time! She was giggling and bouncing on my lap the whole time.

 

After her horse ride she was so happy and excited she was running all over the place! 

 

We could barely keep up with her!

 

It was a very fun weekend with family. She even slept through the night and in her pack n play in the hotel room!! Thank you for inviting us Rick and Andrea and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
