Charlotte turns ONE!

Charlotte Faye Hess

A year ago I went in for my 40 week appointment and non stress test. I met with one of my favorite midwives and within a few seconds of talking to her about how I was feeling she looked right at me and said "Tiffany, just don't seem your normal self so I think we should check you in at triage because I honestly believe this baby is coming today." Well, 5 hours later at 6:17 pm on July 9th, 2014 Charlotte Faye Hess took her first breath and made us a family of four!

I was so nervous that I wouldn't have enough love for two children but our connection was instant. She is so sweet and has the BEST smile.

She is always observing her surroundings and everyone in them. I can tell she is going to be my dreamer.

She loves puppies and never misses a chance to snuggle {and poke} my parents English bulldog.

She babbles constantly and giggles like a billy goat.

She does the knee bob and puts her chubby hands in the air to any song that she can find a beat too {that's my girl!}

She loves to splash with her sister in the tub, it's the only time they do not fight over toys {just the washcloths, seriously girls..it's just a washcloth}

She has 1.5 teeth and is obsessed with yogurt, berries, pears, watermelon, broccoli, tuna noodle casserole & pumpkin teething biscuits.

The days can be long at times but we are so blessed to have this tiny lady in our lives and I can't wait to see her continue to grow and thrive.
