Tradition

Our only real tradition together is to go to the apple orchard.  We have gone every year since we moved to Minnesota.  In fact, we stopped unpacking long enough to take baby Brayden and introduce him to his first apple.  We kept it up with Jack.  This year it was Charlotte's turn, and just like her brothers, her toothless little self fell in love with the apple orchard apple.  We had some wonderful company this year, too.

 Charlotte has her daddy totally, completely wrapped around her little finger.

At five months we were watching for signs of crawling from her.  She was SO fast doing the army crawl.

Thankfully, she waited until her 7 month birthday to actually transition to crawling.

Now, on her 8 month birthday, she is holding onto furniture and taking steps.  

She surprises us every day.
