Happy 1st Birthday Charlotte!

Charlotte is a joy in my life! It has been so much fun to see her grow and develop this last year. Her personality is such a little mix of Brayden and Landon, with her own little added bit of feisty.

I was thinking today as I was watching her play how blessed I feel to be her mom. When I first found out that I was having a girl, I didn't quite know how I felt about it. I had always thought of myself as a "boy mom" and had absolutely no idea what I would do with a girl.

The first time I held her all of my concerned feelings left and were replaced with this incredible bond that I don't even know how to describe. I immediately felt like I had my own little best friend. Charlotte is a bright spot in my day everyday and I am so thankful for her. We had a very fun birthday day today enjoying sunshine, cake, and presents! HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY CHARLOTTE - I LOVE YOU!
