keeping up with the koppens...




So I'm trying to keep up with posting a picture and a little somthing every day, but it is hard! I find that there are not enough hours in the day.... I rush home from work only to spend a good 2 1/2 hours with Charly before she heads to bed... so needless to say... most of the pictures that will be posted monday thru friday will either consist of (a) a bath (b) a naked baby or (c) a baby in pajamas or quite possibly (d) a baby eating dinner. The reason for this is (a) that is what we do when we get home! So, if you don't like seeing (e) all of the above... just don't check back here till the weekend! :) The picture of Charly in the coffee table drawer is a picture from Sunday (the day I missed posting)... but I put it up so you can see how much she has grown in 24 hours! hee hee.... I think that must have been due to the gigantic rock she picked up at Menards today and ate. Ok, the rock wasn't gigantic (but it was kinda big) and no, she didn't eat it... she just attempted to.

Dinner...





Charly and I went to dinner with Amanda and Ryan tonight at Ruby Tuesday. This was the second time Charly has been there for dinner. I remember the first time Charly went there... she was still in the womb! We took her birthparents and sister there before she was born. I can't believe how fast the year has gone.

Charly speaks Chinese...



Not only is she walking everywhere... but now she has picked up the Chinese language and mastered it! She talks non-stop, I just don't know what she is talking about! Forgive me... I'm trying to do a picture everyday... and they may end up like these... pre-bedtime photo op... Not the best, but it is a picture!

These feet were made for walking...




12 month dr. appointment today. 24 lbs. 30 1/2 in.
Charly got 4 shots (2 in each leg) and her big toe gave up some blood today, but don't you worry about her being sore.... this little pumpkin has spent the evening walking her little tail off up and down the drive way! She is officially walking folks!
My baby is growing up. No more infant here.... we are 100% toddler girl! ;)
