Emerson - One Year

And just like that a whole year passed... this little cutie pie just turned ONE! It have the amazing pleasure to watch my littlest clients grow, thrive, and capture their little and big personalities shine. Emerson is such a sweet and easy going little man. He loves being tickled, being thrown up in the air, and also being sung to. We sang "the Wheels on the Bus" and Hudson happily joined in an let me know when I forgot a verse or two. Emerson immediately began to bop his little head, it was the cutest! Hudson loves her little brother and couldn't be any sweeter when it comes to giving him some snuggles and kisses. Sibling love is am amazing thing to watch and theirs is adorable! I can only hope that my kiddos enjoy a bond like theirs. Happy Birthday big guy! I hope you enjoyed a day filled with fun, family, and since you don't enjoy cake... lots of ice cream. :) <3

Luca - One Year

My how time flies, especially the first year of life. So many milestones and adventures to be had. I've had the honor and pleasure of capturing Luca through his first year and he has been a joy to work with (if you can even call it work). We had a blast exploring during his one year session. He loved touching the different textures, crawling up steps, walking towards momma, pointing out butterflies and fish, as well as playing with his shoes and icing painting. Happy First Birthday Luca! Slow down ok, because the big boy haircut and little Levi jeans have me a little teary eyed. Such a sweetie pie, gah! I look forward to watching him grown into the amazing little man he already is. Love ya Luca! <3

Guess WHOOO turns ONE today?

One year ago today this little lady made me a momma, it was certainly one of the best days of my life (in second place is the day I married her daddy)! I am so very thankful and blessed to be her mother, to watch her grow into the beautiful person she is, and take part in her life. This past year has been exhausting, sleepless, overwhelming, FUN, joyful, exciting, and most importantly filled with more love than I thought was ever possible. We started to refer to this year as being the "year of the owl," and it fits her so well. She is my nosey night owl, she gets it honestly. She has us wrapped around her little fingers (rightfully so) and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love waking up every morning to see her smiling face and cubby cheeks. I look forward to nap and bedtime, not for the quiet (ok maybe a little), but for the snuggles and cooing that I know will go away all too fast. I can't believe a whole year has passed, people say it, but time really does fly. Please slow down baby girl, I can't get enough of your giggles, sweetness, and sass. Happy First Birthday Violet Mae, daddy and I love you to pieces! <3
