Baby Book List (0-3 months)

Use high contrast images to stimulate your infants vision and help with their vision development. High contrast photos with contrasting patterns and images are easier for infants to focus on.

So Big! by Babs Bell Hajdusiewicz

Where is Monkey? by Babs Bell Hajdusiewicz is her absolute favorite book. It makes her smile every time we read it to her.

My Bedtime

Hello Bugs by Smriti Prasadam

Cherry Cheese Pie -15

My oldest in now 15 years old! 15 years ago he taught me that it is possible to “fall in love at first sight”! He is a sweet, loving, and brilliant young man.

Ingredients:

  • 9 inch Graham crust
  • 8 oz. Cream Cheese (softened)
  • 14 oz. Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1/3 cup Lemon Juice
  • 1 tea. Vanilla
  • 1 can Cherry Pie Filling

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy.
  2. Beat in milk until smooth.
  3. Stir in lemon juice and vanilla.
  4. Pour into crust and chill for 3 hours.
  5. Top with cherries and refrigerate.

We let the 3 month old play with the balloons. We tied them to her hands and feet, since she is kicking an waving non-stop… She loved this!

2 Month Cinderella Baby Photos

I chose Disney’s  Cinderella  for the October princess since there is a pumpkin in the movie. It makes me think of fall and I think it would be fun for future Cinderella pictures.

This cute baby Cinderella costume was given to her before she was born. I also bought her this silver headband crown.

I placed a light  white sheet for the background and then a fluffy baby pad for her to lay on. I love ivy and pumpkins. I wanted to incorporate the pumpkins, but I didn’t want to have bright orange in my magical fairyland; so I spray painted sliver onto some pumpkins and they turned out great! I found her these silver  star magic wand , glass slipper, and silver castle.

I used my EOS 2000D Canon Rebel Camera to take her princess photos. I also use my softbox photography lighting and backdrop rod to help.

2 Month October Pumpkin Baby Photos

Two months old this October, and I love pumpkins! It was a bit chilly so I had to do an outfit change at the last minute. I was just going to do the tutu and bow, but added the overalls; it turned out so adorable!

I used a basket that I found in the kitchen and the crate that we use to keep things in the living room, so I didn’t have to buy any props except the pumpkins!

She really did not enjoy this photo shoot very much, but I did manage to get a smile near the end.

1 Month September Apples Baby Photos

Baby is now a month old. Since it is September, I had fun taking apple pictures with my little dumplin! We went out in the back yard with an apple pail that I found at a Goodwill last month.

I love the sweet smile that she gave me in the above picture!

The green blanket matched very well with the grass and the apples.

I absolutely love it when she crosses her tiny feet at the ankles showing her cute little toes!

Her red bow (from her Snow White outfit) went very well with her red tutu and the red apples.

1 Month Snow White Baby Photos

I chose Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs for the September princess because I wanted to try some newborn pictures in the woods and I think it would be fun for future Snow White pictures.

This cute baby Snow White costume was given to her before she was born.

It was a beautiful day outside for the photo shoot, and someone was running a chainsaw nearby. The chainsaw humming kept her asleep for most of the photos! She absolutely hated when her feet would touch the newborn bed (she would wake up and cry each time); so I placed the green blanket wherever her feet were. I found the  oval gold mirror at a thrift store and brought an apple.

I used my EOS 2000D Canon Rebel Camera to take her princess photos.

Baby Princess Snow White

Isaiah 32:2 “Each one will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land.”

Newborn Wedding Dress Photos

Baby girl is now 13 days old! I wanted to take some newborn photos with my wedding dress; we were married a year and a half ago.

I tried to get a few photos where I could see most of the dress, then I flipped up the purple train for her to lay on as well.

She did so well cooperating with the placement of her hands under her face today. She’s adorable!

It’s my favorite when she pulls her legs under her body and sticks her little booty up in the air!

Newborn Cubs Baseball Photos

My husband has been a lifelong Cubs fan, so we decided to try some newborn photos with baby… she is now 11 days old!

She did not like the feel of the baseball glove. Every time I tried to pose her with the glove she started crying, so I decided to just set it next to her.

My husband has a few Cubs jerseys, so I tried to get some good photos with his favorites. I love her little grin, and one great picture with her eyes open!

“I might be little, but I’m a HUGE Cubs fan”

Newborn 1 Week Old Photos

Our Perfect Storm is a week new today! She is the most precious thing; I love spending every second with her!

I just love seeing her little toes curled up under her!

She is the most loved Little Sister with 3 older siblings… Josiah is 14 now and Titus is 10; they just adore her! Big sis is 11 years old and loves to hold baby.

We used this “Blessed” bucket at our wedding to hold the ice at the drink table.

Newborn Purple Roses Photos

I love purple roses, and Rose is my middle name. We combined our names to come up with a middle name for our 6 day old newborn (Kellyrose).

My dad got me this newborn purple wrap set as a gift, and the picture ended up being darling!

So cute with her hands folded under her cheek like this. I love when her tiny hands cooperate with me!

This is the first time that I have taken naked pictures of a newborn… yes, she ended up peeing on my kitchen floor!

These close up photos of her sweet little face are some of my favorites!

Sweet, sweet smiles!
