Charlotte turned 18 months on January 30th. (A fact that would probably have gone unnoticed if my sister hadn't emailed that day asking me to pass along a hug to the b-day girl. Thank goodness for aunts!)
She also celebrated her baptism this past Sunday, which means she got to enjoy two cakes last week. The first was a strawberry cupcake, for her birthday, which we stuck a candle in, of course. It was a boxed cake mix, and couldn't compare to the one we had after her baptism. Becky made an amazingly fancy-shmacy layered cake (easily boutique bakery quality). The restaurant we celebrated at kindly popped a candle in that one too. And you know, this baby girl of ours surprises us every single day and these candle encounters were no exception. Now I'm not an expert on 18 month olds, but we all thought this was pretty incredible. And the same thing happened with the one on her cupcake too!
(I'm having trouble loading pics to the blog this week, luckily I have a video to accompany this post. Hopefully I'll be able to add a few pics later, once Google's got things back up and running...)

I love that Charlie's candle-blowing was caught so well on film!!
