She needs some face time too!


My Charlotte is 11 months old! Can you believe it?

It seems like the first year of her life has practically FLOWN by!

Charlotte has to be the best little baby girl around. She's happy, she self entertains, and she just loves to be around her big brother.

Here are some cute pictures I have captured of her over the last few months. Poor kid has kind of taken a backseat to brother when it has come to the posts! So this one is dedicated to YOU Char!
It brings me so much joy to see how those two interact. Mason is a little bit "too loving" (if that is possible) at times though! At any given time of the day I usually turn around to see Mason planting a big wet kiss on her. lol! She just LOVES it! (most of the time!)

Charlotte spends most of her days pushing around this Winnie the Pooh car or pushing her baby doll stroller. This girl LOVES to try to walk! And she's determined to do it!


I expect she'll be walking pretty soon at the rate she's going! And if she's not at home pushing around these toys, she's holding onto Mommy or Daddy's fingers and cruising around!
What a cutie!

I just took this yesterday! She had been standing there for a VERY long time so I decided to get out my camera to capture it on film and as soon as she saw the camera she lunged at me and this is what I got! My most favorite thing about her is her little piggies she sports on top of her head!

It's so fun to have a baby girl with HAIR! I spend any free evening I can coming up with new hair accessories for her to fashion with every outfit. I'm actually pretty obsessed with making bows! And I love the challenge of a new outfit that DOES NOT match any of the bows she already has. Maybe when I get some free time I will have to turn my passion into a little business. The problem is free time is hard to come by lately! Some day! Some day!

New Life

She is so inspiring to me! As a mother. As an individual. And as one who is going through so much adversity.

I think about her a lot.

Even more as we are starting our "New Life" with Mason.

How can I teach him to be like her as he goes through life?

"I am Stephanie Nielson and I am not my body".

The link below is long, but well worth watching. Make sure you go to the very end. And don't forget your tissues!
