Justin Bieber...and me...




I needed a haircut, because this is what my hair was looking like. I couldn't see with my bangs being so long. So Mommy decided to use Grammie's hair trimming scissors to give me my first haircut!

All Done!! Much Better, now on to more important things...
Like feeding the ceramic dog.

Florida Take Two


Well, we zipped down to Florida again! Daddy took a week off of work and we went down to get some sun and R&R. The weather was awesome! 80 degrees everyday and blue skies!

I spent every morning at the beach, the kids pool, the big kids pool and then having lunch outside!



Aunt Anna-Bain was also in Florida with us! She and I had a lot of fun playing together and having snacks on the beach.

Daddy & Grandpa went kayaking to see the sea turtles. We heard that some people even saw a shark!

We also went to the Beach Jamboree again! This year, I didn't have to sit in my stroller, and I was able to run around.

I got a balloon animal. He made me a fishy on a fishing line!

I played a ball roll game to advance my dog in a race. Daddy helped me!
I also got to try my first Carnie Ride! The Fun Slide! It was 20' in the air and went super fast! I was so excited and loved riding on it with my Daddy! I kept saying More More and motioning with my hands for More!

I also got to meet Donald Duck and Goofy at the Disney Vero Beach Resort! We had breakfast with them. I wasn't too fond of Donald, but I warmed up nicely to Goofy. I even got their autographs!

Here are a few more pictures of me having a blast!


Valentine's Day!


Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!

Mommy and Daddy made a special dinner together and then I got to open a present!

It was legos! I love to build with my Daddy! Even Ace helped me out!



She's Crafty, and she's just my type.


Mommy and I have been working on a lot of crafts. I love finger painting and Mommy showed me how to make shapes with sponges. I may have eaten a little bit of paint in the process.

February was a little bit of a slow month. The weather wasn't particularly nice, so Mommy had some fun catching a few candids of me.

I have also realized that sugar is something I really enjoy! When presented with a sugar product, I express my joy and shout "Happy!" You can see the joy in my face as I take a bite of chocolate cake that Grandpa brought me!

We also made a few trips to the Science Center. I really liked the space exhibit!



We also went to the Botanical Garden to see the Purple Reign Orchid Exhibit. I liked running around and splashing in the puddles!

Florida Adventure - Our first Girls Trip!


Daddy went to China, so Mommy and I went to Florida to visit my grandparents!
We stopped in Vero Beach first to see Grandpa and Granna Bain.


I was a very good traveler, and really enjoyed seeing the beach, the pools, and getting into the sun!


Then we headed south to visit GrandMolly and GrandMary and Uncle Mike in Ft. Lauderdale.


Grandma took me to the Miami Seaquarium! I loved all the fishies, and we even got splashed by the dolphins that were swimming in the tank!

Grandma also has a pool in the shape of a shell. I was able to play in the shallow end, helping collect all the leaves that were in the pool. I had a lot of fun eating ice cream too!
Mommy and I had such a good time visiting in Florida it was hard to come home. Except we really missed Daddy. When we got back to Cleveland, Daddy came home the next day!

Mommy and I sure had fun, and I am looking forward to our next girls trip! I wonder where we will go?

Love
Charlotte

Christmas 2010





Well, a little behind on the updates...
Here's a few pictures from our Christmas' Adventures!

GrandMolly & GrandMary & Uncle Mike came into town as well as Aunt Emily! We had a bunch of fun spending the week with them in Cleveland! We also had a white Christmas which always makes for a beautiful Christmas morning!

Santa was extra special good to Charlotte this year! She was so excited to see all the presents under the tree! He even brought her a play kitchen since he saw how much she likes to help Mommy around the house!


Thanksgivings




We had a great Thanksgiving Season this year! Delicious food and family fun!

Charlotte really enjoyed spending Thanksgiving with her cousins at Grandpa and GrannaBain's house. The girls really enjoyed their dinners and Charlotte always has a great time goofing around with London & Farah! Unfortunately, Mommy forgot her camera for this dinner. :(


Thanksgiving at Grandpa & Grammie's house was also a lot of fun. We enjoyed playing, eating and relaxing all day long!

Charlotte also enjoyed playing in the basement with her new tunnel and all of Mommy's "old" toys!

In the tradition of putting up the Christmas Lights and decorations the day after Thanksgiving, Grammie had a surprise present for Charlotte, a Christmas tree she can decorate herself!
