A Year of Firsts

Our baby girl...Sweet Pea...Tooter...CG...Charlotte Grace...whatever you call her, she is no longer much of a baby. October 20th was her 1st birthday!

It is hard for me to believe that her first year of life has passed by, but I thought it would be fun to re-cap some of the highlights of Charlotte's "Year of Firsts".



First Visit to a Pumpkin Patch

 

First Trip to the Beach

First Trip to Spanish Embassy in Washington, DC

First Toe Snack

First Spanish Siesta

First Bath

First Card Game

First Time Crawling

First (and hopefully only :)) Crop-Top

First Madrid Metro Ride



First Plot to Take Over the World



First Picture with the Burro

First Mohawk

In those early days of Charlotte's life when I was exhausted and weary of caring for a newborn, I was not sure that time would ever go by quickly as people told me it would. But they were right...it has flown by! Brendan and I are LOVING being parents. God is using Charlotte to mold and stretch our faith in ways we never thought possible.

We are looking forward to the year to come. Maybe there won't be as many "firsts", but with a full-fledged toddler on our hands it will be anything but boring!
