11 Months Old!

Wowzers! Where have the last 11 months gone? Charlotte, you are getting so big and developing such an amazing personality!

What are you up to?

-You are incredibly curious and determined! You are becoming very difficult to contain to the living room!

-You want to be where your sister and brother are, in the middle of everything.

-You still eat very well, but are off of sweet potatoes and squash, and have started eating "table food."

-You took your first trip to England over Christmas and did so well.

-You had your first ear infection the week before Christmas, but your doctor said that you were the happiest sick baby she had ever seen!

-You are pulling yourself up on things.

-You still don't have any teeth!

-You continue to be loud! :)

-You are now in your "big girl" car seat.

-You "speak" your mind. You don't hold back when you don't like something!

-You love going to the church nursery on Sundays and hanging out with the older kids on Tuesday mornings.

-It is getting harder and harder to get you to sit still for pictures!





A month from today you'll be ONE!

Christmas and a trip!

We had a wonderful Christmas day! The kids woke up early and we opened gifts, ate breakfast and then headed to church. It was great being with our church family on such an important day. I can't think of a better place to celebrate the birth of our Savior. Everyone from church brought food in and we had a delicious Christmas dinner together.

After our Christmas celebration at church we headed home to get ready for our trip to England. The trip went great, the kids did fantastic traveling and had so much fun with their cousins. We relaxed, shopped and ate some yummy Indian food! We were too busy to take many pictures.


Jack's boy castle. Steve was tired of seeing him play with the princess castle. :)


Isabella excited to open her gifts!








Charlotte was mad that Daddy made her open another gift. She was too busy playing with the ones she had already opened.


Jack opening his gift from Isabella.


Happy again.






Ready for church.


Charlotte getting a much needed break from her car seat while we waiting to drive onto the ferry. And, getting some caffeine. Waking up at 4:30 in the morning is hard work!






Watching the water.


Charlotte was so happy on the boat!




A cup of hot chocolate at the Starbucks in Bicester Village. Mommy and Daddy actually had eggnog lattes!




Playing Wii


Getting ready for the park.


Jack wasn't happy that his bike was pink. That's what he gets when he's around all the girl cousins!
