Charlotte Gray is 18 months old. She is a toddler in every way and we chose to spend the day letting her have some time with the two loves of her life...her dog and a boy. Here is a shot of her in front of the fence. The older she gets the harder it is to get her to stand still. I just love the look on her face. She absolutely loves life and it shows through.
At her doctor's appointment on Friday we found out that she is still in the 95th percentile for height. Here's a nice portrait shot to demonstrate. We think that some sort of haircut will be in her future, but the part of town we live in welcomes the mullet with welcome arms, so it works!
So a couple shots with the newest love of her life, Jack. For the first 16 months of Charlotte's life, Jack chose to stay as far away as possible, but slowly he has warmed up to her and now even though its not quite reciprocal, he allows Charlotte to love on him. It looks like she's giving Jack CPR, but she just loves to touch him any way that she can.
This is another common pose that we will find them in. This is Charlotte's version of a hug
Just a fun shot of both of them. I think Abby was a little upset that she wasn't in the photo shoot, so she was acting up a bit to draw the attention to herself. If you know Abby, you know what I'm talking about.
She tried to get Jack to play a little ball with her, but if you know Jack, it takes an act of congress to get him to do much of anything.
The second love of her life, Baylor. We have some friends that moved up Northern Virginia a few years back and a couple times a year we get together so we all can hang out. Baylor is just over two years old so this is the first time that him and Charlotte were able to play together for an extended period of time. I love both of their faces in these next couple of shots.
We ended the afternoon with a nice walk around the neighborhood where Baylor reached out and went for Charlotte's hand...she accepted and the cutest pictures in the world ensued.
Happy 18 months Charlotte Gray. We love you very much!
