ONE...






yesterday my baby turned ONE! it's weird, she still seems the same to me, not one, but just Charly. but now because of yesterday I have to say she's one. what a drag...but she had a very fun day! Here's a recap....
Monday (one day prior)
How fun to wake up barfing all morning the day before your birthday! how convenient for your mom who instead of getting everything ready, was cleaning up throw up all over the house! good thing it stopped after taking some serious long naps!
Tuesday (the big day)
You woke up at 8:30, i brought the video camera in to show you on your birthday morning, oh wait the battery was dead! glad i checked before your party!
You had pancakes, some plain and some with blueberries, your favorite!
After not taking a morning nap you grew grumpy! Dad came home, grandma came over to help with the frosting for your cake. you ate lunch, had a bottle and went night night! for only one hour! why is it that on the days when you need a nap, you won't take one!
Five thirty rolls around and your party guests show up. you have presents galore! is it Christmas all over again? looks like it! we open (we meaning everyone else, you helped a little) your presents, you care more about the ribbons and your shoes.
Time for cake. we sang, mom blew out your candle. stripped you of your clothes and let you dig in. you were very cautious, the frosting was sticky. eventually you started tearing in, but didn't take a bite. the frosting tasted good, but then you wouldn't eat the cake. after a few bites, you'd had enough and threw the cake on the floor.
Clean up time! grandma monson cleaned you up and you ran around in circles for a good twenty minutes. what a show off you were! you got worn out, and of course the no nap came into play. everyone said their goodbye's and left.
TUB TIME! you had a good tub, got ready for bed. bottle. night night. you were so sleepy.
Twenty minutes later. SCREAMS from upstairs. you threw up again!
What a way to end your first birthday!













you sure are a special girl! you're always making us laugh! i wish i knew what you were thinking all the time! you never stop moving unless you're sleepy, and even then you don't want to stop!
you're still afraid of the vacuum, love climbing and playing on the stairs, love bananas, blueberries, pancakes, peas, milk, ice cream, and bread. you're sweet, give loves and kisses. are quite well behaved, except for the occasional tantrum. sleep awesome at night and take way better naps than ever before! love books! p.s. i made her cute quiet book and will have to post pics on it....you're going to be jealous! that's all i can think of now! but you'll always be our baby girl!

CHRISTMAS 2009...

We hope you all had a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
This will be a Christmas that Corey and I will never forget! We got to start early with Corey's family on Christmas Eve. We ate and visited and opened our gifts to each other. Unfortunately we didn't get any photos, just video and I wasn't going to upload it tonight...sorry! But it was fun, Charly was less than interested in her toys. She liked the ribbon and the newspaper sitting on the couch much better than her toys. Then in the afternoon we headed to Bear Lake to meet my family. We also ate and hung out, took our traditional Christmas Eve photo by the tree
(seen here)off course she had to rip her head band off!

And we did have one with the whole family later, but Charly was asleep and I don't have it on my camera...wish I did though!

I was so excited, like usual, but apparently so was Charly! She went to bed sorta late but then woke up repeatedly throughout the night! I couldn't believe that I wasn't the reason I wouldn't be getting any sleep this Christmas Eve. I think I slept 20 minutes total. And by 3:30 Corey and I gave up on trying to get the moster back to sleep. All she wanted to do was play, play and play! So we created a tent in our bed, equiped with legs for poles, and she went in and out for a good two hours! It was way funny, even when I want to be mad at her, I can't because she's just so cute! Her new favorite thing is to fake laugh, so anytime we laugh she does too...plus she gets tons of attention when she does it! So when 5:30 hit I thought heck we better just wake everyone up so that we could do some Christmas before she decided to get sleepy. So we woke up bright and early and it was lots of fun! Charly didn't care about anything really, so I pretty much opened most of her presents, but she sorta caught on by the end. At about 8:00 she started to look really tired. I opened her cabbage patch doll and was getting it out of the box, i look over and she was gone. She pretty much slept on and off all day and wouldn't eat! I got kinda worried but she did better the next night. She still seems to be catching up today even! I can't blame her, it was rough, we all looked horrible Christmas Day! Come to find out she cut another tooth Christmas day and is working on more! So this past week she's cut two! Poor girl! Teeth are rough! So anyway for your viewing pleasure there are a few pictures below!opening her presents
showing her sweet tent/tunnel that she won't even get near!Corey sporting his chuck t's that he's not sure he likes...i think they look awesome...he thinks they make his feet look too long! lame...your feet are long!Uncle Tony helping Charly open presents. She's actually ripping the paper herself!
