Happy Birthday Aunt Aleisha!!!!!

I love you!

I went to work with Daddy!!!

Well not actually...... I guess you have to be six years old in order to spend the whole day with your parent. So Mommy took me to visit Daddy on his break.

I got to see my Nana and Papa....

Last Sunday Mommy, Daddy and I surprised Nana for her 50th birthday. Uncle John , Aunt Aleisha, Uncle Nate, Aunt Brianna, and Cousin Michael were there also.

My Favorite Word Is....

Adeline's First Day on Siesta Key Beach

For all of you who were praying for Adeline's health THANK YOU!!! We enjoyed a wonderful vacation with a very happy baby.

Question No More...

Adeline might not look like James or I but..... she sure does look like her Grandpa Forte.

P.S. A Florida post is in the works:)

Top Notch Dad

This post is written by Mommy:

Talking to a friend on the phone today we both commented about how your love is taken to a different level when you see your husband with their own child. I love to watch James with Adeline. She is always so excited when he comes home. She jumps, screams, says Da-Da (yes before Ma-Ma), does anything to get his attention. All he has to do is look at her and she smiles. He is an unbelievable father.

Yesterday I was once again reminded of his love. Adeline has been really sick vomiting and diarrhea non-stop. She has not been herself. We took her to the Doctors office because she was running a fever and we were concerned. It turns out that she has a virus that is going around. James would not let her go. When she woke up at 12:30 at night lying in vomit James was right there. While I gave her a bath he was changing her bedding and wiping down the wall and floor. At the Doctors office she ordered for us to have some blood drawn. We took her to the hospital and this time I asked James to go in while they were drawing the blood because I was already an emotional wreck. As I started to hear Adeline cry and scream no sooner did she and Daddy walk out. James said that they would be right back. Ten minutes later he came back telling me that he called the Doctor and she said that we could wait to do the test if we wanted. He was so protective of Adeline that if this poke could be avoided he would let it.

On the way home he started to tell me that he was sorry about her not getting tested but I stopped him right there and told him that he was doing what any caring father would do for their daughter. He was protecting her.

James...YOU are an amazing husband and friend. You are also an exceptional father. I love watching you love on Adeline and watching her love on you. You are special. Adeline and I are blessed to have you.

I love You, Charity

A visit with Uncle John

This past Saturday I got to see my Uncle John. He came all the way to Grand Rapids just to see me.
I was all about his beard. It was fun to touch.

Thank you Uncle John for the fun time. I can't wait until I can see you again. I love you.

Swim Day!!!

Sick Day....

Mommy has been sick the last few days. So I told her that I would dress up and let her take some pictures because I knew that it would make her feel better. It did.
