The little one had a stuffy nose this week. I captured a little bit of her stuffy snoring after trick or treating. Yes, that whistle is coming from my baby.
And if you like to hear babies laugh, this next video is for you. The little one thought my in-laws dog playing with a blanket was hill-arious. Oh, I love her squeals!
Makes me laugh every time I watch it. :)
I’ve yet to have anyone tell me that the little one looks like me. Usually, the person is in a state of shock over how much she looks like Eugene. I definitely agree that she resembles her dad –particularly the eyes – but, I think she has a few features of mine. Here’s a picture of Eugene {a little younger than the little one is now}, and me {a few months older}. You be the judge…
Well, at least she’s tall like me! ;)
We started our Fall weekend off with some pumpkin carving.
The little one was fascinated with the stem…
Big cuz joined in on the carving fun…
And the final products…
The next day we enjoyed a Fall Festival at a local church, complete with lamas, bunnies, and more!
She was so brave to hold the bunny!
The little one was apparently worn out from the carving party the night before…
Fun games at the festival…
And then the real fun began – trick or treating. Allow me to introduce you to my chicken…
My sister’s the genius behind the costume selection. We made it out of a few boas, a winter hat with some felt, yellow socks, and some rubber gloves. The bib wasn’t part of outfit plan, but the little one kept trying to eat her feathers. :)
We were given the unofficial “best costume” award by some mom’s walking down the street. Ha!
Of course, big cuz was a chicken too. She has been asking for weeks to be a chicken – so cute!
Yes, the boas are pink tinted with silver tinsel. Had to add a little bling!
My little chicken Chicken Little lost her feet about 5 house in; they just kept falling off, so we stashed ‘em in her pumpkin bucket.
What a fun, memory-making weekend!
I asked my sister-in-law to play photographer for us for 30 minutes before I met the Wilson family for their photo session. I would pose Eugene & the little one, then hand the camera to Heidi with a bit of instruction and let her lose. And of course, I had to get one of the little one with her helpful Auntie…
She is pure joy to me.
It’s been a while since I’ve had the privilege of taking photos for families, but I was asked by a college classmate whom I also worked with at my first job. We met up at a local historical park, and the Fall scenery was just beautiful. The family was full of life and energy, and I truly enjoyed photographing them.
Saved the best for last {in my opinion}!
In full disclosure, I always tell people that I’m not a professional…I just enjoy taking pictures for friends. Hopefully the family is pleased with the result!
It’s that time again – time for me to unload all my Instagram pics.
Here’s the {tall} little one. She’s 14 lbs 5 ozs at 4 months and 5 days {75 percentile in weight.} She’s 26” long {90% in height.} I guess although EVERYONE says how much she looks like her Daddy, she gets her height from me. ;)
The pup loves to sit at the door and stare outside. He will do this all day…
The weather’s been beatiful lately. Fall colors are definitely wondrous things…
Eugene was supposed to be putting the little one to sleep the other night. This is what I found…
Seems a little backwards, huh.
The feeling of having a baby fall asleep on you must feel something a little like heaven.
I was feeling crafty and DIY’ed the little one a felt Halloween-ish headband.
She’s such a cute punkin.
Time is absolutely flying. The little one is four months now. She’s showing more personality each day; she just goes with the flow happily, smiles lots, enjoys being outside, loves her daddy time, cuddles with mommy, and laughs at her uncle Dillan. As my sister says, “she’s so chill.”
She’s such a happy baby. The only time she gets fussy is when she’s tired, has a stomach ache, or is hungry. Oh, or during tummy time. She hates tummy time. She has rolled over from her tummy to her back about 10 times, but I’m not sure she really knows what she’s doing; she just does whatever it takes to get out of tummy time.
{On another note, I can’t get over how red her hair looks in these photos. It actually is more blonde, but when she’s in sunlight it definitely has a red-ish hue.}
She’s talkative and has started making zerbert noises lately…lots of spit involved. Speaking of spit, she definitely seems to be teething {aka drooling like crazy!} I have to have a bib on the girl nonstop or her shirt will be soaked with slobber in minutes.
She isn’t a very good daytime napper, but I’m okay with it because she sleeps well at night. We typically have her to bed around 8pm, and on a good night she will sleep until 5:30 before needing fed. On a typical night, she’s up around 2:30 or 3 for a bottle and then goes back down easily until 7:30 or 8 am.
She’s smart and sweet, full of joy. Oh, I love our little pumpkin.
