Little Audrey Hepburn...

Happy Birthday Charlotte!!!

The day has come...our baby is one today!

We went to our fitness center this morning in costume for the little kiddie parade and everyone just ate her up. I have had some instances lately where women stop me on the street or grocery store and tell me how flawless she is. One woman said the other day "OH that is the most perfect baby I have ever seen, and I have four kids!" Not much can top that. She continues to dazzle us every day.
We continued the festivities by taking her to our favorite sushi restaurant, where she loves the staff and they love her. It was a perfect evening, and we, as Mom and Dad, got to toast to her first year.
Looking back it was a pretty wild year. Filled with good and bad, the arrival of Charlotte has completely changed our outlook on life and, though cheesy sounding, we could not be happier. Charlotte is a daily reminder to live each day as best you can, stop to slow down so life does not pass by too fast, and love and cherish your time together.
Happy Birthday, to our sweet little "plumpa-goose"!

Geese, Ducks and Fun!

Well...what can I say about this post? Its LOADED with some of my favorite pictures from the day, which included visiting the birds in Milford. We (well, ok, mostly me) LOVE seeing the birds and I especially love the white geese! Charlotte really loved her visit this time, laughing at the loud birds while we attempted not to step in too much poop.
It was a perfect fall day!

Charlotte and Aurora Take Westport!

Today was a very exciting day, reuniting with a long time friend who I have not seen in years. We always loosely kept in touch but then we discovered we were pregnant at the same time and reunited over email. Life brought her back to CT, so we finally made a date to get together! Aurora is so adorable and so sweet and calm. We had a nice day of playing, shopping and attempting to have a little lunch, despite Charlotte's other plans at the time!

Charlotte took Auroras bow right off her head! Aurora knew what was going on and immediately went to get her bow back!

Charlotte is standing on her own for moments at a time! She lost her shoes, which are currently too big..oops!

Charlotte had no shortage of getting into trouble, which included knocking over her entire stroller...judging by her faces, she was quite pleased.

Beautiful mommy, Christine with baby Aurora.

Visiting Dad at the station...we absolutely love seeing Dad in action. We are so proud of him everyday and it is important that Charlotte sees where Daddy goes all the time! There were two other firemen at the station, and Charlotte made a point to hide behind chairs and flirt with them...

Some pretty fall shots...

Goofing off! We tried to get Charlotte in on the "self portrait" fun, but she was too busy watching the main road and people going by! Overall, it was the perfect Fall day.
