I can’t believe the last one of these I wrote was 6 months ago on her first birthday. Our little Cha Cha has changed so much in just the last couple of months, it seems like that should be a year ago already. She went from just a baby-faced little thing, to a full on toddler with a mind of her own in what feels like the blink of an eye. Naturally we came up with a whole new crop of nicknames for her that seem to suit her just fine, such as: C-Rex (Grant’s personal fave), Charnado (my personal fave), Charmin Ultra, and Charley Davidson – just to name a few ? But without further ado, here’s our latest list of sentiments for our dear Charnado – happy half birthday little one ?
1) I love all your facial expressions – you can go from a sweet smile, to a side-eye, to your infamous stink eye in less than 2.5 sec and it always has us in stitches ?
2) I love how you love to take pictures and you’ve seriously got the best “cheese face” around ?
3) I love watching you get so excited for Dada to chase you around the living room, giggling hysterically the whole time ?
4) I love how much you finally love bathtime…what I do not love – is fishing out the poo every other time ??♀️
5) I love that you will literally eat anything and you clearly got your passion for food from your Italian/Sicilian mama ?
6) I love seeing the joy it brings you when your bubba pushes you in the swing ?
7) I love your infatuation with belly buttons or “bell boos” as you call them ?
8) I love how you just learned to kiss and you do it like a true Italian baby on both cheeks ?
9) I love when you know it’s bedtime – you grab your woobie, 2 lovies, your baby doll and have to wave “nigh nigh” to dada and bubba before I can rock you to sleep ?
10) I love more than anything just how spunky with a side of sweet you are and we couldn’t imagine life without our little “Cha Cha” in it…?
What a beautiful smile 😀
Thanks lady!! ? He’s got the best cheese face ?
This is such a fun age. I know that I loved watching my kids learn and explore!
Yes! It’s my fave age so far ?
oh how I miss 18 months. That is such a fun age where they are open and fearless. Thanks for the reminders!
Totally! That’s her through and through ?
So stinkin adorable! Such an incredible age and such a joy that you are on the front row seat to soak it all in! The photos were precious!
Hehe thanks!! Yes I feel so incredibly lucky to be home with her more than I was able to with my first ?
Oh gosh, seeing these pics gave me flashbacks to my little girls baby days! She is adorable and I love that “cheese” face of hers!
Haha right?!? Ugg it’s just the best ?
