Charley turned one on October 8. David and I both took half a day at work to celebrate his birthday with him. We took Charley to the zoo for the first time. The weather was beautiful and Charley loved getting to see all the animals. His favorite part was getting to feed the birds. I had to stand very close because he really wanted to touch them. David and I loved getting to spend this very special day with him. I can't believe he is already a year old; where does the time go? The past year has been the best year, Charley is such a blessing. As you can probably tell from his pictures, he is always smiling. He laughs all the time and is always a joy to be around. He has started walking and saying momma and dada. He tries really hard to say Braxton (the dog) but only David and I understand what he is saying. He is learning to say please (pease) and thank you (tank oo). I love watching him explore and learn new things each day, and I look forward to what this year will bring. We celebrated his birthday with family on Sunday October 10. It was very special becuase everyone came. We grilled hamburgers and hot dogs and hung out outside. The weather was wonderful and Charley loved getting to celebrate with everyone.
