We call her shades!

Charlee is such a ham and is getting more and more expressive by the day. She has so many new tricks up her sleeve-- Walking with anything she can push, sleeping through the night (12 hours!), cutting her first tooth, waving at anyone and everyone, saying 'Dada' especially when Norm calls on the phone and letting you know she is not happy if you took away her special toy of the moment. We can hardly believe how fast the last nine months have gone...and yes, she still looks like a carbon copy of Norm!

To keep the glare of the papparazzi cameras out of her baby blues

A girls gotta teeth when a girls gotta teeth

Aiden Edward

We were lucky enough to spend the day in Simi last weekend with our precious new family member- Aiden Edward Johnson. He was so peaceful and slept almost our entire visit. Amy, Larrs and Ethan are doing wonderfully and have adjusted so well to being a family of four. Aunt Deb, Brian and Christy rounded out such a fantastic day!

Larrs is giving Charlee real banana for the first time...she loves it!

Charlee is walking all over the place with the help of a push toy...at 9 months we are overwhelmed!

Happy New Year!

We had an incredible weekend with Anya and Pops and the Marshall's up at the Green Valley cabin. The girls did so well together it was amazing. It is so awesome that they are going to grow up so close together...who would have thought? Here are some pics from the weekend...there is a bunch of different pics on Jenny and Jim's blog-- link to the left.

Dialogue- "Oh please let me play with you...your dress is so pretty!" says Charlee. Gracie replies, "Hmmmmm...well I guess, just don't touch the truck!"
