bubblegum sweetness

my baby girl is turning 1 on jan 31.

i've been looking back on this 1st year with her and how much loveliness she's added to our lives.

i think that celebrating her first year is also a celebration for brett and i making it through a year with 2 kids.  

AND WE SURVIVED.

i took probably 12 million pictures of her to commemorate her 1st birthday.

so be prepared to get some cavities, because my charlotte just exudes sugar.

lastly, i just want to fawn over charlotte's little shoes.

they're her early birthday present and i'm dying over them.

before getting these, i never realized how much i hated baby shoes.

with everton i think he just wore socks for the beginning of his life, he's a boy, whatever.

but c'mon, if my girl is going to be anything like me, she's gonna be sporting some swanky footwear.

but baby shoes can be too ill fitting and easily kicked off.

then i discovered the magic of baby moccasins.

i found this etsy shop, starry knight design, and all the moccs got rave reviews.  they're custom made, real leather, soft soled, and claim to never slip off wiggly baby feet.

i was sold and ordered a pair.  and when they came in i was never so happy buying a pair of shoes for someone else.  i slipped them on charlotte and she couldn't take em off!  but yet they're so easy to put on and SO FREAKING CUTE.  i love em i love em i love em.

the shop has SOOO many styles for boys and girls, seriously, check it out!

"give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world."

AM I RIGHT?
