Happy Birthday My Charlotte Pie
Happy Birthday my baby Charlotte pie. Even though child birth probably ruined my body for ever….and ever….and…oh, this is about YOU.
Charlotte, I am so happy you grew out of that ugly newborn stage and your head isn’t as lopsided as it was when you were born. I am so sorry I baked you wrong and your pinkies are crooked though. Maybe you can play a trumpet professionally! Silver Lining, Honey!
You have taught me that:
1) You grow out of cross eyes and gangly limbs

2) Mascara is not just for eyes

3) Appreciate those around you

4a) Your never too early to find a boyfriend

4b: Or two
5) Clouds are meant to be watched, leaves are meant to be slept in, and balloons are good for all occasions

6) My life is full of princesses

7) Leaving…ANYTHING….is tragic

9) Cabbage Patch Dolls ARE real

10) A bath is always better when you have a blankie and milk

From Your First birthday

Till your Fourth,

I have been blessed. Thank you for trying my patience every day just so you can be who YOU are.
I love you,
Mom (or Trisha when you feel like it)

Happy 4th Birthday to a beautiful girl… Charlotte I can’t believe you are 4 now, where has the time gone. That is still a great picture of Charlotte and Benjamin Puckering up.. I remember when that was taken, hard to believe it’s been almost 2 years.
I am so glad you posted that pic with the Cabbage Patch doll… every time I see Charlotte’s sweet grin, I think she is the living incarnation of one of those. With prettier hair, of course!
I loved all of those pictures, so sweet! Happy birthday Charlotte!
