Summer Recap, part 1

We've had a very exciting a fun filled summer! Each day is a wonderful adventure. We can do anything that a 2 1/2 year old mind can dream up. I LOVE that I can be home with her and enjoy even the littlest moments. Often, those are the best ones.....

Ice cream date with our friend Bennett

Summer swim lessons

"reach and pull" - "kick, kick, kick"

Ready to get in and swim. Charlotte loved jumping off the side of the pool and into our arms. She called them, "big girl jumps".

Galleria play

Story time with Daddy

Annual Block Party, with best friends Spencer and Harrison

Watching intently as the bounce house is being blown up

She loves bounce houses

Kabe's 60th birthday weekend at the Gaylord

His favorite present was from Jacque

Chill'in at the Gaylord pool

Playing princess fairy

Getting nails done at the salon is a new favorite that Nana started in March while we were in Paris. Charlotte now request to have them done after they're "broken", or in other words, the polish has come off.

Helping Mommy at VBS

Trying corn-on-the-cob for the 1st time

More pool time

We went the the Zoo with friends, Catherine and Presley, to see the new Safari exhibit

The giraffes were so cool

more ice cream.....she prefers cones now to cups, but doesn't yet understand that you can eat the cone too. I think she just likes the look of it for now.

Shopping and playing with Spencer

4th of July, Bebe the bear is dressed up too!

Ready for the parade

1st baseball game, we went with Justin's firm

Learning to go potty, while watching Elmo's Potty Time

And SUCCESS!!! We're POTTY TRAINED! She did a fantastic job. It was so much easier than I had thought. For 2 days we didn't leave the house much. I set a timer every 30-45 minutes and we would go potty when it dinged. She got the hand of it real fast and began telling me when she needed to go or not. We are so proud of her!

She got a guitar for her potty present. She worked hard for it and it was so fun going to the store together to pick it out. Of course, she chose PINK!

Our little Rock Star!
