Sidewalk Chalk & Puppy Love.

Whewfta!  It's been another BUSY couple of weeks!  We've been busy with lots of graduations, holidays, birthdays, etc - but I'm glad we can find sometime to just hang out outside and play with some chalk.  =)





She is SUCH a collector!!  Anything, everything, into any type of container.  She totally loves it.  =)





And a few randoms, trying to get caught up on editing pictures (I am still super behind, these are from January, so those waiting on pictures of a certain event, they're coming, I promise!).  =)

Little Valentine

We decided we would try (try being the key word here) to do a little Valentine's Day Shoot with the munchkin.  Try is what we did.  Kayden doesn't like to sit still... LOL!





We tried props, but soon realized that we were going to be lucky to get one good photo, why were we pushing our luck expected at least 4?!  ;)  We tried food ... not very cute for a photo prop... 


There goes the bow, like always.



And just like that, the photo shoot was over for the day ... but cuddling with daddy is still cute!


Round 2.








She's the cutest thing if I do say so myself.  If you disagree I'd have to say you're crazy, or blind, or both.
;)

And after all that photo sesh stuff Kayden had to take some pictures herself, duh.
"Cheeeeeese"

Habits.

Alright - now we're caught up and back to current day where penguin doesn't leave Kayden's side.
I love how she holds her little wing like this =).
(Even though she's throwing a fit because we took her suckie out to take a couple pictures.  That thing is not nearly as cute nor accepted into photo shoots, as penguin is.)



And one of her favorite activities lately - coloring.  We've had quite the time trying to teach her what is acceptable to color on.  (Yes, we've already had wall, couch, computer, books, and movie case incidents...)  In these pictures she's coloring on an old kohl's coupon ... we soon learned that it was not a good idea to give her 'whatever we don't need' to color on because that was apparently confusing ... so that has stops and we've moved onto coloring books, bought and home-made ;-).  But she's catching on...lol




She's super hard to get pictures of her doing something candid now.  She absolutely loves the camera and as soon as she see's it, much less hears the shutter click, she's already hopping up to say cheese:


But sometime's she'll still let me get a few, if I take a suffice number of her while saying cheese...


I love this one!! :



She always grabs any camera she finds (our little one is shock proof, whew.  and she's happy with the flip in it's hard case) and puts it up to her eyes and walks around saying cheeeeeeeeeese.  I've been trying to get a picture of that... but hopefully soon =).

She's getting SO big!  We took her to the Dr. last week and they said she's the size of a two year old!  (She won't be two for 5 more months!! =( .. which really is already to fast for me, but she's already the size of a two-year-old?!?!  Noooo ... too fast, too fast!!)  They said she's doing great, and so smart and friendly (duh, we already knew that ;-p).  I'm so proud of her, more and more every day.  She's started "reading" a LOT lately too.  She'll grab a book and just reeead and read, and Dominic and I just look at each other and smile.  Can't believe she's ours!  <3

Blocks & Uncle.

(Last of last November lol.)  She's so funny how particular about things sometimes.  She loves to collect and put things all in one place, and fit them on there just right.





I don't think she could fit one more block on there! =)  She's my little smart.

And a few playing with Uncle Chris.

Curly when wet.

This chicks hair is curly when wet ... and some other times too.  It does it's own thang.

Just a few real quick from a sink bath back in November as well.




I absolutely love her precious little features and joy from something as simple as a rubber ducky.

The other way to sit...

Whopsie, these are from back in November, but I got mixed up.  I love to watch her when she's doing something all on her own, or her own way.  It's fun to watch her go into her room and choose what she's going to do.


She cracks me up when she squats like this.  And she LOVES those blocks!



"Uhh hello .. you're distracting!"





Definitely not as much fun to sit the regular way...
