And on Thursday for once in a very long while at that! :0)
While we were in Colorado, Seven's interest in food hit an all-time high. He was reaching for absolutely everything and since he was turning 6 months old the week we got home, we took the hint that he's ready for real food. We got the camera and video camera ready, put the high chair in nice light (because you know, what kind of photographer parents would we be if we didn't stage our baby's first moments in nice light?), and readied the rice cereal. Seven was so excited for real food that he could eat his chair.
Bib on, spoonful of rice mush up, and he could NOT wait!
Then the rice cereal hit the lips and…
….
See that face? That is how a baby says "Seriously, most anti-climactical moment of my life ya'll. If this is real food, I'll stay a boob-man forever thank you."
Well, I can't say I blame him. I don't really like the idea of rice mush either. Maybe tomorrow we'll try green peas and hey, if nothing else works, there's always the 1-year prize of a great big cake all to his little baby self! Now that's what Mommy calls real food. :0)
Thanks for visiting! Have a wonderful day!

It's been a while since you've seen these little ladies! They were long overdue for their closeup. Audrey turned 1 way back in February (she and Seven have the same birthday), Evie had her 3rd birthday last month, and the last family photos were taken when Audrey was barely a bump in Rachel's tummy. A marathon catchup session was in order! These are probably my most chaotic (but still fun!) sessions. How I love these girls, but being their Auntie Mel makes it so that they really don't understand why I would be asking them to do anything but be pushed on the playground swings! :0) Oh if you could only see the outtakes! So here they are - my friend's sweet little family in all their frilly, crazy, distracted, disheveled, adorable, all-around-wonderful glory!
Lauren, Audrey, and Evie - my goodness how they're growing up!
And of course their lovely parents - looking as good as ever, even with 3 rug-rats to chase after!
Bubbles are the best kind of distraction...
...until someone steals all of the bubble wands. :0)
Evie calls it her "crazy hair" and she's very proud of it. Don't you just want to touch it? :0)
munchkin giggles...
This part is always interesting - there just is not sit and smile with 3 girls under the age of 6 in a park full of fun things to do! Still, we do what we can. ;0)
This one is my favorite from the shoot. I just love that mischievous grin!
Thanks for looking! Have a wonderful rest of the week!

There hasn't been a single part of Seven's life that I haven't absolutely loved, and he just keeps getting better! :0) As we approach 6 months, there are lots of new tricks on the docket...
...rolling for one. Rolling over is an old trick, but now he can roll anywhere and everywhere and we really have to be careful where we step - or roll
Poor Dirtball has been discovered and what a discovery he is! Seven squeals every time he sees him and boy are the kitties ever in trouble when this kid starts walking! As you can see, he's already working on his evil grin - mwahaha
Oh and the faces! I just love all the faces!
And then there's the thing that is going to get me into so much trouble! THE CLOTHES! He has finally grown big enough that our options extend past puppy and bear themed items and I am so enamored with the completely adorable little man clothes! A girl could really do some damage. Here's my current favorite outfit - you know, for this week....
So, there you have it. A little slice of our world and what's been going on in it lately. What can I say? I'm pretty taken with the little fella. ;0) -- and by "the little fella", I mean the one I am currently fighting with for control over the laptop keyboard so with that I will leave you for this week! Thanks for visiting! See you soon!
