Charlotte's favorite new doll!

Charlotte got her last birthday present from her New York boyfriend Gavin today. She loved the present so much she spent the next two hours playing with the doll and pushing/carrying the carriage around. We had to take the video of it since we found it so cute but as you can see we will not be having her babysit anytime soon.

Today our friends Chris and Denise hosted a brunch for the orginal DB crew (Diana, Denise, Chris, Kelly, Beth and me) and their families! It's been a long time since we all have gotten together. We have known each other for almost 10 years and have been through a lot together. It was so fun to get all the kids together and catch up. Times have really changed, we used to go through bottles and bottles of wine and late nights out, now its formula, diapers and sleep deprivation.

Great food and great friends, thanks for hosting Gidop's family!

Fun with Mary Ryan!

Yesterday our friend Catherine and her daughter Mary Ryan came to spend the night with us, they live in Kansas City. We had a nice relaxing day hanging out and Charlotte and Mary Ryan had so much fun playing together despite being 6 months apart. Mary Ryan is a little peanut! Mary Ryan was fascinated watching Charlotte, it was so cute watching them together!

We can't wait for them to move back to Boston!

Naptime with Jacob!

This weekend we had Charlotte's last birthday celebration in Westfield. Although Charlotte was under the weather as she woke up Sat morning with a runny nose and cough...we are so all done with winter! She did have a great time playing with her cousin Jacob and seeing her Nana, Granpy, Great Granpy, Aunt Kate, Aunt Jane, Uncle Bill, Uncle Tom and her cousin Jacob. Next year it will just be one celebration...we are all exhausted!!!

Another Celebration

Daddy and Charlotte on her 1st Birthday!

Charlotte had a few of her best buddies over for a birthday celebration on Tuesday. She LOVES having playmates over! Unfortunately her BFF Jane was sick so she couldn't make it, so it was just Charlotte and her men, Charlie, Sam and Will. They all had a blast playing, eating and running around.

I was trying to be all Martha Stewart and decided to make her red velvet cupcakes from scratch and homemade buttercream frosting. It's not easy trying to do this with Charlotte under my feet, but I did it, so proud of myself and guess what? They taste exactly like the box stuff. I was so mad!!!!!

Today Charlotte had her year Dr's apptointment, her stats are: 24lbs 13oz and 30 inches long. She is doing GREAT!!!
