week 19

It's been a little difficult to capture these kids EVERY week, especially by themselves. Babe insists on only taking pictures with his baby Kins and most of the time he just smothers her so much that she just starts to cry. 

Babe: obviously loves he little sister. He will be done with school in a few weeks and will get to spend so much quality time with her. We are currently trying to convince him that he doesn't need a huge train set taking up space in his room so that we can move Kins in with him, we'll see how that goes.

Kins: is growing so fast! She is almost 11 months. She wants to run but refuses to even stand on her own. We hold her in a standing position and her little feet move in a running motion and she shifts all her weight forward. My Husband is NOT looking forward to chasing her around all day.

8 & 9/52

week 8

babe & kins: these kids love taking pics together and laughing at themselves as they look through all the funny out-takes 

week 9

babe: I had a parent teacher conference this week and heard nothing but good about my babe, the teacher said he is her "model student" but did admit that he can get a little crazy when NOT in the classroom. 

kins: she is REALLY wanting to crawl! she scoots a lot and I'm worried I'm going to miss her first crawl. Time for baby proofing.

week 3:

Babe: he spent the 3 day weekend in this hat and sweater. Good thing he wears a uniform to school, otherwise I believe we would have had a difficult time getting ready this morning.

Kins: found her baby twin! How could I NOT dress her in a similar outfit?!

Babe: he is not going to make this easy, he was refusing to let me take a picture of his face. 

Kins: she has been exploring her sippy cup, she likes the little flip cap part the most.

One thing I have been wanting to do is document a portrait of my kids once a week, every week. I saw this idea well over a year ago on Bleubird Blog and LOVED it. I thought I would start right away with Babe but never did. Good thing for me, it's a new year and I have a whole new little love in my life to document. And so for the next 52 weeks, I bring you these kids, trust me... they are adorable to look at.

week 1:

Babe: Loves his sister more than anyone and anything in the world. He loves to make her laugh, cries when she gets shots and smothers her like no other.

Kins: Is 6 months old. She loves the attention she gets from Babe, but we're pretty positive that daddy is her favorite. She sits up on her own and loves to shake her head "No", which just makes us all laugh.

a mama of two

me at 36 weeks pregnant 6.9.2014

It's hard to believe that just two months ago I was a mama of one. I was still in denial about having another baby on the way. I couldn't imagine having two kids... two kids that depended on me... to take care of them, to teach them and most importantly, to love them. I didn't think it was possible to have the same amount of love in my heart as I did for my babe ... and literally felt that way until the very second "she" was laid upon my chest. We are still adjusting to all the things a new baby brings into a home but we all love her so much and babe couldn't be more excited about having a little sister.

365 project week 8

Considering this past week has been extremely stressful for me (as posted here), I'm surprised I was able to capture at least one moment everyday (except Wed.) After the stressful week, I was disappointed that I had to work for 4 hours on Saturday morning BUT the rest of the weekend couldn't have been better and I can't wait to tell you about it soon. For now, you will see a sneak peak here at the end.

365 project week 7

So since it was my birthday last weekend, I got completely distracted and forgot about the 365! I feel like I'm really failing at this project (being that this is the 2nd time already this year) but I DID take my pictures. I really don't want to post 2 weeks of pictures though so here are a few random ones.

Scavenger Hunt

So I have to start out by saying I completely failed with my 365 project this week! I think I only took 3 days worth of pictures, but can I just blame it on the fact that the weather has sucked and I pretty much just stayed in the house or the office....yeah?! Ok!
Kristen from KV's Confessions has been linking up with this Scavenger Hunt on Sunday's with Ramblings and Photos. This week's words looked so fun, I thought I'd give it a shot.

1. Lace

2. Bling

3. Wood

4. Fuzzy

5. Fabric

I really enjoyed taking the Scavenger Hunt pictures much more than my 365 Project pictures. I used my Canon (except the "wood" pic) instead of my phone camera, which I have been using way too much lately. I "will" get back on track with the 365 though, unless the Scavenger Hunt words are just too appealing.
