Happy 1st Birthday, Charlie!

10 Mar

I can’t believe that Charlie is 1 today.

It seems like just yesterday that we added his “1 month” picture to this frame.  It looked so barren with 11 more spaces to fill.  Now, we have just one photo left to add…

(I apologize for the blurry picture. Even with the flash off, the glare was ridiculous.)

12 months of Charlie

Here’s a close up of the shots (and one additional).  Let’s take a look at Charlie through the year:

3-10-10 A Charlie is Born!

Colicky

Still Colicky

Colic free!

A smile

Loving his feet

What's that say?

The Greatest American Hero

I'm gonna get you!

All grown up

Sitting is for babies!

Strike a pose

I’m going to leave the 12 month photo as a cliff hanger. Mostly because I am anxious to wish him a happy birthday on my blog and also because we haven’t taken the photo yet.  We usually take the monthly birthday shot after his morning nap.  I’ll definitely update the post with the additional photo.

For now, I would like to wish my amazing and incredible son the happiest of happy birthdays.  You have brought me so much joy over the past year. I never knew I could love as much as you have allowed me to.  You teach me something new everyday.  Along with laughter, pride, and happiness, you bring meaning into my life.  Thank you for being the miracle that you are.  You have humbled me beyond words.

    Happy birthday, Charlie!! I remember first meeting you in your infant car seat on the first day of Mommy and Me when you were about 2 months old… I have loved watching you grow an adorable little personality. We can’t wait to celebrate many birthdays to come with you!!

      Thanks Jana! I cannot believe how quickly this year has passed. You were right when you said, “we are all going to be best friends.” We are so lucky to have been part of such a special AMH class.
