the brown family

We were in Spartanburg last weekend and were able to celebrate Charlotte's birthday with David's family. She loved her elmo cake and all her presents! I told her that her uncle Russell's birthday was coming up (it was this past monday) and she said, "no mommy its my birthday." She also asks to sing "happy birthday" to herself everyday now. Apparently it is going to be charlotte's birthday year round now :-)

Smiling as everyone sings to her.


With Nene and Choppa.


Reading a new book, of course about Elmo.


With Mimi and Mike.

We had Charlotte's 2 year doctor's visit this week. She was so excited to go because she remembered that you get a sucker when you leave - sugar free ;-) which is nice. She is 36 inches tall (97%) and weighs 32 lbs (95%). We are so thankful for her, she has brought such joy into our lives, I love to tell her that I am so glad that God sent her to live with us, which makes her smile!

Charlotte turned 2 last week while we were at the beach with my family. We had a wonderful time, I can't believe Charlotte is 2! She is definitely using the possessive now so everything was "MY presents" and "its MY birthday" - how quick they learn!

With my dad.

My mom helping her open presents.

Riding her new tricycle.

Pushing her new stroller.


With uncles George and Harrison.

Again with uncles - showing her the joys of playstation.

With Mimi and Mike at the beach.

Charlotte loved playing in the water.


Practically running on the pier to get ice cream and me,
34 weeks pregnant, trying to keep up.


When we got back we celebrated with Joni and Nate. They brought Charlotte
a cake and present which she loved!
