Sleepyhead

I always wanted a baby who feel asleep at the dinner table or in their high chair. Jadon has still never done that. Thankfully, Miss Macy Bleu is making up for it. She feel asleep a few months back, just as soon as she finished her lunch. Jamie took her plate to wash it off, and turned around to find her like this:

Today, just before naptime, while she was eating, she did it again. She had been soooo fussy, just before we gave her a piece of cheese and some raisins. She didn't quite make it through the box of raisins. Make sure you don't miss the first few seconds, while she's still awake...hilarious!

Changes

I know, I know...I'm a big blogging slacker :/ I've been so busy with pictures (other people's, not my own kids) that my head is spinning. I have several partial, half-written blogs saved and unpublished, but am committed to getting them up soon.

So much changes so fast with toddlers, I can barely keep up. I think these videos do a decent job of displaying what has happened as of late. Jadon, who never sang or danced until he was around 2 1/2 years old, is now belting out tunes left and right. Don't worry, between songs, you can still find him running around being a rather obnoxious, rambunctious boy ;)

Macy, who is usually the sweet, smiley lap-cat-of-a-toddler, is now showing a much ornerier side. She is silly. While she still LOVES to sing and dance, she has begun climbing EVERYTHING! She used the Bumbo as a step stool the other day, so she could climb onto the dining room chair and stand (yikes!). She just smiled at me with the proudest two-teeth grin on her face :D She also attempted to climb a fence at the farm, when I was doing a photo shoot and hung off the side of the high chair like a monkey. Oh, Baby Bleu! Here she is showing off her couch climbing skills a few weeks ago. She's graduated from floor to couch, now going from floor to couch to table, giggling and grinning her way to the top. Rotten, rotten, rotten they are!

Happy Easter!

Happy 34th Birthday, Daddy!

I told you I might get to posting Jamie's birthday pics. Finally, I have! It was a simple, rainy day, but we had a great time with each other and our babies. First, we went to breakfast at Applewood in Litchfield. Let me tell you, I have NEVER seen two kids devour pancakes the way Jadon and Macy did! Holy cow! They ate the entire stack, covered in strawberries and whipped cream. Never, ever have we seen them eat that way before. Sheesh!

Jamie was satisfied, too, with his favorite fresh-from-the-inlet shrimp omelet. Such great food there everytime we go. Afterwards, we took the kids to Barnes & Noble to play with the train and read books, and we grabbed some of our favorite red velvet cupcakes to go.

It's been over two weeks, since then, so I can't quite remember what we did that evening, but I'm sure it had something to do with spending time with Jadon and Macy :) Simple things. Love you, James!

Until they were ALL GONE!

Jamie's shrimp and spinach omelet with holandaise and hashbrowns. Mmmm!

Tagalongs

A lot of times, when I'm shooting, Jamie tags along as my assistant. Most of the time, Jadon and Macy stay with the grandparents, but sometimes they come along too. When I did a shoot with Michelle and her drums in the park, Jamie took the kids along and took these shots of them on the playground, while I was shooting Michelle.
















When I did the family shoot at Litchfield Resort, Macy stayed with Gramma, while Jadon kept Daddy busy climbing trees with a monkey on his back :)
















I can't imagine not having all of these images that capture the details we love so much...their tiny noses, their long eye lashes, their grouchy faces when they're sleepy...love every part of them!
