d-a-dd-y...

adam is A LOT better and finding the right words to say for most situations...and since we can't exactly ask HIM how to tell HIM how much he means to us, Imbot and I created this little video instead. We love you daddy! The time we spend together is worth more than all the silver and gold...

remember, if you want to see if the video to be full screen, click on the icon in the bottom right corner!

and Immi and I secretly put on her Father's Day outfit a little early for a quick photo session... :) i think the sweetness just oozes from those goobs. Happy first father's dad daddy...

Evolving Love

Flora & Henri, one of our favorite baby brands, had a photo contest not too long ago...so of course, Cassidy (of Love Thy Nest) and I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to dress the girls up and snap some photos...no, we didn't win, but if you go to the site now, the photo of the super hero picking his nose....thats the winner. yah, i have to admit, kind of amazing. i'm gonna need to keep that idea in my back pocket for down the road. Anyways, they wanted a photo and a story behind the photo, so here's our story and photo!

When sweet Rylie met her adorable cousin Imogen for the first time, it may have not been lovee at first sight. In fact, a first born child and first grandchild, Rylie was very used to all of the attention being on her and was clearly not happy with sharing the spotlight. The story behind this photo shoot is one of evolving love. More recently, Imogen’s baby coos and giggles have begun to win Rylie over, and we captured some of her affection when she graced Imogen with a few kisses. Seeing how fashion forward Imogen was in her soft and adorable Flora and Henri outfit, Rylie was beginning to warm up to the idea of sharing the spotlight, that is…until Imogen began to nibble on Rylie’s Flora and Henri dress….. (story by Cassidy)

six months

as you can see...six months means much more Immi to handle!! hahahaha. she was way more entertained this time by the fact that she could rip the letters down than by the goofy noises and dances mom was doing to grab her attention. Can you see it in her face? "Look mama, these letters come off!"

so six months...wow. wow. wow. wow. it's crazy how you can go YEARS, and time flies by, and nothing really significant changes...then all of a sudden you have this amazing little person and SO MUCH happens in just 6 months...and you are continually grabbing at time to just cling onto whatever time allows you to keep for more than a millisecond! when i think about it, i start to hyperventilate...not a good idea. so the best thing to do is just be in every moment possible, and enjoy it.

so...fun stuff about our 6 month old.

* sitting up...it's great, because we can stick her on the floor while getting dressed and she'll sit there and grab for her toys...keeping her entertained for the seven minutes it takes to slap on some mascara, and blush...brush my teeth.

* we've got a tooth! and more coming in...yay for mom! who needs sleep anyway, right?
