Just Playing

I have been trying to get a lot of posed shots of my girls lately, I thought it would be fun to get some more candid ones. We were playing in the kitchen, eating, enjoying the sunshine, it was fun. I don't get many shots of Clara anymore these days because she seems to always look like a ragamuffin. That girl loves to play dress up but once she's done, some how she always just ends up in her underwear and I NEVER do her hair anymore so she's not included in these pictures. The last 2 of Kamryn were pretty funny. She is definitely turning more dramatic. I had put something out of her reach I didn't want her to have and she just falls to the ground and lays her head on the floor and cries. She's been doing that a lot lately, I don't know where she learned it from.





I have a bit of an obsession with her feet, mainly because they remind me of my own, short and stubby.

Easter

We had a fantastic Easter with our family and I have the best family ever. Not only are they great cooks but they are so loving, supportive, and fun to be around. My kids love all their cousins and even though Clara and Kamryn are much younger than them, they try their best to include them. It's such a wonderful time of year, spring is my absolute favorite season and I'm loving all the beautiful colors and warmer weather... even though my allergies have been killing me. Here's a little bit of our fantastic Easter. My kids wanted to play more than pose so I turned my attention to my cousin's BEAUTIFUL flower arrangements, she's so talented.

I Tried

I was bound and determined to go out and get some great pictures for Kamryn's first birthday. I had so many ideas in my head, I had already decided where on the wall they were going to go, I was set. Kamryn just woke up from her nap, she was in pretty good spirits so I grabbed Robert and we set out to get her 1 year pictures. I dressed Clara up too just in case. Let's just say Kamryn is soooo over me. She hardly cracks a smile for me anymore unless she is being tickled, and that is really hard to do when you are trying to take pictures. I tried everything to get her to laugh, smile, something.... I got nothing. I quickly learned photographing other people's children seem to be easier since I'm new and my goofiness is new to them. I'm a has been to Kamryn and Clara. I determined to get some better pictures. She really isn't a fan of grass so next try I'm going to avoid it and maybe she'll be a bit more cooperative. I have a couple favorites but out of the 250 pictures I took, these were basically all I got.









"really mom?? you know I hate this stuff!"






Finally cracked a smile

grumpy

Kamryn's personality is night and day compared to Clara's personality so far. She's been driving me nuts lately, always wanting to be held, getting hurt feelings over the smallest things, hitting, biting, pulling hair.... it's no fun. So this post is dedicated to the top 10 things we love about Kamryn so I don't go completely crazy.

1. Your chubby little kissable lips
2. The way you say WOOOOW when you see something new
3. Your short lived snuggles
4. Your tickle spot under your chin.
5. How you instantly jump to daddy when he comes in the room
6. Your chushy little body
7. When someone says there gonna getcha you instantly come running to them
8. That you are my identical foot twin (we both have chubby, stubby toes)
9. That you still take 2 relatively longs naps
10. When you are in a good mood, you are so fun to watch and play with

I know there are more reasons but those 10 will do. I love her to pieces and we are all excited for her first birthday party this weekend, she'll be 1 on Tuesday. This was just an impromptu photo shoot while Clara was chalk drawing on the drive way. I plan on having her official 1 year session next week.

This is the face I get most days...


she is fully capable of standing up for a good minute and has even taken a few steps but when i want to get a picture of it, she wont. figures

9 months

Chushy girl is back and bigger than ever, seriously. She's nine months now and here are her stats:

Height 29.5 inches
97th percentile
Weight: 22 lbs
95th percentile

That's my girl! She's been doing some funny things with her tongue lately and has been pulling herself up on everything.

Bundled Up

We are really loving this cooler weather. We even got a little snow yesterday morning. Christmas time is my favorite. These may be the last few pictures I get of K holding still, she's going to be crawling any day now. Sad.

Caught

Kamryn hasn't started crawling yet, but it didn't take her long to roll her way over to the tree. It's going to be fun keeping her from eating everything. Can you believe this was taken at 8 pm with no flash? I love this camera.

Chushy Girl

Sweet K is 8 months today. I can hardly believe how fast she is growing, and boy is she growing! She loves to clap and play patty cake, she will be crawling any day now and I think she will be getting some toothers soon. She's so sweet and just loves watching big sister run circles around her, literally. Love you little chushy girl! (clara's new nickname for her, we think it is a mix of chubby and squishy)

Christmas Dresses

I have a couple more to share of my "Christmas" session with the girls. They were so good and so cute for me. These really make me miss Clara's long hair.

Red and Black

I haven't shared any pictures of Kamryn and Clara in a while, I've been trying to keep up with all my Christmas sessions! But those are winding down and I have a little extra time to post some of my sweet girls. I'm not sharing many of these because I have to save something for Christmas pictures but I captured these 2 cute pictures when scouting out a location. I brought them ready for pictures just in case and I'm so glad I did. I'm especially glad I took these when my life wasn't so hectic because I just don't see myself getting out to do it again.

7 months

I'm a couple days late, but miss K is now 7 months. I can hardly believe it. She's a whopping 19.6 lbs, not sure how long she is, I didn't measure but I'm sure she's keeping up with her weight. We love her so much!!!

Beauty and the Mouse

I finally got the girl's Halloween costumes together! My mom made sweet K's Minnie Mouse dress, I love it!! Clara loves being a princess and now she has the crown to prove it. She has wanted to be Sleeping Beauty since day one. It's her favorite movie and she knows all the words to all the songs, impressive huh?? Love these girls!!

Wordless Wednesday

2 girls

Do I ever love Target. I really should stop walking through their kids section, I ALWAYS buy something. I love these dresses so much and thought they would look adorable together. Can I get a picture of them together?? I got some but I am determined to try again. The last one is to die for, such funny girls.







I didn't hear the joke, but it looks like it was a good one
