Hi baby! We are in Fort Worth for the week with your daddy. You are so active now, it is hard to keep up with you and it is really hard to keep you safe in a hotel room. We had a little birthday party for you with your friends in San Antonio. It was so much fun! I miss our home in McKinney, but I love our new friends and I feel like we have built a little life for ourselves in San Antonio.

I thought I would tell you the story behind your name:
I was talking with your Aunt Kathy on the phone when she said, "Hi Charlie!" I said who is that and she explained that a little girl was over and that her name was Charlotte, but went by Charlie. I fell in love with the name right there. I told your daddy about it and he loved it too. It fits so well, because we really wanted a "C" name after your grandfather Christopher. Also, your daddy was born in the city of Charlotte Amalie, on the island of St. Thomas!
To be fair, we didn't decide on your name until three days after you were born. You were almost a Caroline or an Emily. We also liked Elenore, Marjorie, Elizabeth, Catherine, and Addison. In the end, it was either Caroline or Charlotte and we picked Charlotte. By the way, your daddy volunteers your name to everyone who comes in contact with you. He really likes that you go by Charlie and people melt when they hear it. You are so girly and beautiful!

I love you baby girl!
