Where has the time gone??

How did we go from this.......

....to this, so quickly??

Charlie is ONE today!!!! We are so proud of our little man. He is growing like a weed (literally) and doing something new almost every day. He doesn't say too much thus far, but you can tell EXACTLY what he is thinking most of the time and know when he is about to do something. He is just starting what we call the "swahili" language -- just a bunch of baby babble for like 10 consecutive seconds-- Reese did the same thing and I love it. Sounds like he's probably cussing us out most of the time!! =)
He has taken 4-5 steps by himself, but would still rather crawl. He says bye bye and waves and gives some of the biggest, wettest kisses around. We haven't had his one year check up yet, so I will have to post his "stats" later. We are having a family birthday party tonight, complete with smash cake, so there will be more pics to come. I am having the kids a joint birthday party in November, so that is when we are really going to "blow it out!!!" Happy 1st Birthday my sweet Charlie! You are such a sweet little man and your mommy and daddy love you so much.
We can't wait to spend many more birthdays with you!!!! mmmmmwwwwaaaaaa!!!
