Happy Birthday to you......

Miss Charlotte.... Happy Birthday to you!

I can't believe it but Charlotte is one. It is really scary just how fast this past 12 months has been. We planned a party but it was a bit of a flop due to low numbers and the most amount of rain that Canberra has had in MONTHS falling while we were partying in the park. Still, we had a nice time and got some great photos of Charlotte and her friends.

Marco & Rita, Charlie & Meaghann and Blake & Sandy all came along to the party which was really nice. Got some great photos of the kids. They were all so good as well which was great. Charlotte seemed to be really amazed by the rain which is understandable, I don't think that she'd seen rain like that before in her life. All the bubs were the same really, Charlie even crawled right out into it!! This is Charlotte's little friend Marco....

That night we had a family dinner which was nice. BBQ and lots of finger food. Mum, Dad, Tania, Aden and Nanna were all here so it was great to have the whole family together. The night went well too with Nanna and Dad which I was really worried about. I'm glad that they all got over their diferences for one night for their great and grand-daughter.

She got spoilted with pressies from everyone - Swarovski crystal from nanna, charms from mum and dad, mobile from them as well, snow globe from Tan, book from Izaak and a new bangle from Simon and I.

And just 3 days later something amazing happened... SHE CUT HER FIRST TOOTH!!!! Very exciting event for us. It's still not through properly yet but you can see and feel the top of it and I'm fairly sure that the one next to it is on its way as well because you can feel it coming. So she cried all the way from Newcastle to home with a sore mouth. She's been a bit on and off since then but settles with Bonjella so I'm not too worried. She hasn't had any temps or anything either so it seems that all is good in the teething department.
