Happy Birthday, Sweet Charlotte!

Today is the FIRST birthday of sweet Charlotte McCue! I know every mother says this, but where did this year go? Was this picture really taken a year ago????






I have picked a song for all three of the kids to claim as "theirs" and it becomes their personal lullaby. When Charlotte was in my belly, this song came on my ipod one day and we picked it for baby #3, not knowing the sex. It fits sweet Charlotte so well...it's happy, upbeat and just...sweet!








We have truly loved having her as our baby......







She has been such a patient little baby....



A great sleeper, and even good when she misses her nap (which she does very often!!)...





Her big, wide, blue eyes make us all melt in this house. Her sister and brother adore her and I have to tell them daily to put her down or get out of her face! And she, in return, lights up when either of them enter the room.




This picture pretty much sums up Charlotte. She's ALWAYS smiling, always going with the flow...


She loves me, too. Sometimes I'll feel someone starring at me, and I'll look over and there she is....smiling away! And she loves her "Daa-da"! She crawls to the front door and looks out the side windows when he gets home from work to wait for a big wave from him.




We've had many nicknames for our sweet girl this past year, but my favorite is simply, "Lovey" because that's what she is....a little lovey:)



Thank you, God, for our Charlotte Girl!



She is such a blessing, and just what our family needed!








...and we love her DEARLY! Happy First Birthday!

Ah Donna! This post teared me up a little. I'm so glad God blessed yours and our family with little Charlotte. She is a sweetheart and I can't wait to see her grow more this next year with her little personality. And yes...congrats to YOU for making through a year with 3! I don't know how you do it with NO HELP and all the things you do. You're my hero and I love you! Can't wait to see you this weekend.

Awww, man!!! I wish SO badly I was in the burg today!! The Duggars are the only "celebrities" I think I would love to meet. Have fun and tell Michelle I love her new hair style...actually it's not the different but there's a little more "poof" on top lately.
