Important Life/ Business Update

Posted on February 24, 2010

To quote my friend, Sara, “There iz a baybe in ma belleh.  See?”

If you are thinking to yourself, ‘Wasn’t she just pregnant???’, the answer is yes.  Yes I was.  And now I am for one more, last time. 

If all goes well, this baby girl* (please see below) will be here at the end of September/October 1.

(*I am almost certain this baby is a girl.  Just a hunch.  Please note, however, that I predicted Jacob would be a girl, Molly would be a boy, and that all three of my brother’s girls would be boys. )

So, on to my business…

I am finding it terribly difficult to work right now because I am soooooooo tired.  So I am going to cut down my business indefinitely to just photograph kids ages ‘I-can-sit-up-by-myself’ through ‘I-am-almost-finished-with-elementary-school’.  So let’s say I am planning to photograph ages 6 months-10 years EXCLUSIVELY right now, because those are my favorite ages honestly.  And I reserve the right to change my mind and say nevermind- I can handle nothing but my own kids right now. 

Thanks for understanding, and a BIG THANK YOU to my wonderful husband, who works hard so that I don’t have to.  (I don’t think that’s the real reason he works, of course, but it works out well for me and my babies…)

15 Months

Posted on February 24, 2010

It’s hard to believe, but Molly is 15 months old today.  I have been seriously slacking in the documenting-my-kids’-lives department lately, so I thought I’d better write up a few of Molly’s Molly-isms at 15 months before I forget.

• Molly, as  I’ve said before, really was a fantastically easy baby.  I recently began to worry that she was, ummm, changing into a little toot- not sleeping well, being fussy, falling out onto the floor in a fit of defiance (Jacob would NEVER!).  Then I realized she had cut 3 molars.  A ha!  She has since returned to her sweet self… for now.
• She loves books.  Seriously.  They’re her favorite toys.
• She does not really like toy animals and dolls that move and/or make a lot of noise.  They scare her.
• She does not like automatic car washes.  They terrify her.
• *Someone* taught her to point her finger and make a shooting sound at certain people.  Good grief.  The joys of big brothers. 

(^^^insert shooting sound effect here^^^)

• She loves to be outside and has finally starting to enjoy riding around the neighborhood in her stroller (as opposed to trying to escape the stroller like she once did).
• She loves her big brother and her daddy.  She is offended if her dad leaves the room without saying ‘Bye’ to her.  And if her brother doesn’t acknowledge her, she will just take whatever he has in his hands away from him and ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!
• Her hair (a.k.a. The Mullet) is finally starting to really grow.  The other day she woke up with her first serious case of bedhead:

• She runs, she climbs, she DANCES {and if she climbs onto something and you tell her to “Get down!”… she starts dancing instead of getting off of the ladder/table/whatever}, she has a burgeoning vocabulary that mostly consists of the names of people she loves and farm animals she learned from the ‘Peek-a-Boo Barn’ iPhone app.
• Speaking of, she can totally turn on an iPhone and scroll around to find ‘her apps’, turn them on, and then play them independently.  Kids these days.
• Her top teeth are gapped and kind of crooked right now.  I LOVE them that way.

Happy 15 months!

I’d post something witty and charming here… but it’s late and everything I type just keeps coming out super cheesy.  Velveeta-esque. So, instead, I’ll just say a big THANKS to the L family for a wonderful Saturday session!  You guys were great and I hope you like your preview!

(Oh, and I LOVE that mom and dad took pictures with the kids individually.  ^^^  I’d love to have some like those with each of my babies…  I’ll work on that.  ‘Cause I have a lot of free time.  )

Thanks again, guys!

…and still awake working on other people’s pictures.  Alas, they will not all be finished tonight.

Thanks for your patience.

Here’s a shot of who keeps slowing me down:

Jacob has been growing ‘grass hair’ on a pirate.  Mmmhmmm.  Santa brought him something akin to a Chia Pet and last week he finally got around to trying it.  Earlier this week, it was time for Pirate’s first haircut:

(This is the most random post EVER.  I know.  Also, why is Jacob wearing a Star Wars Clone Trooper costume while giving the pirate a trim?  Only he knows.)

Stick fighting

Oh, speaking of fun, when the Saints won the Super Bowl last night, impromptu fireworks celebrations started going off around town.  We went outside to check it out and could hear people yelling and cheering.  Pretty neat.
