And now, a little visit to her past...
I know you may have seen many of these images before, but I thought in honor of Butterbean's birthday, I would put together a little collection of pics of our girl from over the years.
I love Bean so much. I honestly think she is the prettiest cat I've ever seen. What I like about those pictures is that I can't believe how much she changed; in the seventh picture down she looks like a normal Siamese...and then comes the floof!
What a lovely pictorial celebration of the "Queen of Floofy" Ms Bean (and cameos by Drewey)!!!!
I am sure she thanks you for not including that awkward shot of her belly that made us all laugh, although I did chuckle at the one of her on the porch since your hilarious story of her slide down same was ringing in my head.
It's a Bean feast! Who could have suspected that such an adorable little kitten would grow up to be such a gracious and ladylike (and floofy!) cat? Happy birthday to you, dear Charlene!
I never tire of seeing pictures of beautiful Charlene - and it's a special treat that you included some with Drewey, too. And the one of her snoozing with Craig is priceless. (Someday you will need to have Craig take a picture of you and Charlene to share here!) Happy Birthday, Charlene! We love you!
Oh, Miss Bean, Happy, Happy Birthday to you! You are one fine looking lady cat and ya know, we think you're looking kind of slenderer (it is so a word!)and lovely these days. Six is a fine age to be. :)
Charlene has been photogenic since birth, it seems. She really is a beautiful cat, and her personality shines through in her photos. Also, it's lovely to see and remember Drewey.
Haapy Birthday Beanie! Which picture is my favorite? You wanting to craft with Mom? You sleeping with Dad? You and Drewey? (do so love those!) Or you showing off your toe hawks?
The third one in the big block of photos is hands-down my favorite Charlene image. She looks so amazed at the little pink flowers. It's like she's thinking "Oh my god! So pink! So pretty!"
Love seeing the intermittent progression from when Charlene was smaller than Drewey to when she was suddenly larger ... or at least floofier. Happy Birthday to Ms. Bean!
Happy Birthday Charlene ! It is so nice to see photo's of you and Drewy on your special day.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite is baby Bean in a hat.
ReplyDeleteIt's so amazing how much her colouring and appearance changed from kittenhood to adulthood! She is a very beautiful lady.
ReplyDeleteShe just keeps getting better and better. She is a Supermodel. So sweet that Drewey is in some of the pictures.
ReplyDeleteHBD!,CB!
wow! she has changed so much since she was a baby bean. now as a big bean she looks like a Queen Bean!
ReplyDeleteThe floof progression is awesome!! :)
ReplyDeleteYes! So are the photos of her awkward teen years.
DeleteShe's so beautiful!
ReplyDelete(but you didn't post my favorite Bean picture- the one where she's sitting like the Buddha with her belly poofing out) :)
You've come a long way, baby!
ReplyDelete(And so nice to see Drewey in some of the shots!)
She is so beautiful and fluffy!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Miss!
Such a beautiful girl - from past to present!
ReplyDeleteGood to see a couple of glimpses of Drewey too! Happy birthday, Charlene! (cue the B-52s)!
ReplyDeleteShe is the personification of what Lord Byron wrote:
ReplyDeleteSHE walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies,
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meets in her aspect and her eyes ...
Happy birthday, beautiful Bean!
Happy Birthday gorgeous.

OMC - we hadn't seen baby Bean pics before....how simply adorable. Mom loves the picture of her sitting on the deck with her paws hanging over. :)
ReplyDeleteOh how I love the Bean! She's such a beautiful, wonderful cat. You're lucky to have her! Happy Birthday Charlene!
ReplyDeleteOkay, my favorite is totally the one with her curled up with her daddy.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Miss Charlene!
ReplyDeleteBean,
ReplyDeleteSo cool to see you from beeebeh to beautiful adult. Glad your Mom gave you your favorite kitten kibble on your birthday cake. I'm sure you loved it.
Kittens steal my heart, and full grown floof always makes my heart sing, but I have a special spot for that gangly teen stage..
ReplyDeleteThat picture of baby Bean and the pink flowers is so adorable--it belongs on a calendar or cat book or magnet or something.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Charlene!
ReplyDeleteWith love and purrs from your kitty fans - Atticus, Mae, Gandalf and Malcolm.
It's a Bean feast!
ReplyDeleteWho could have suspected that such an adorable little kitten would grow up to be such a gracious and ladylike (and floofy!) cat?
