She is such a happy girl these days. We have been discovering the outside and new foods!
She tasted the strawberry with a sour face, but kept putting it back into her mouth.
She just loves the water and played here for much longer than I expected.
She’s my beauty!
Strawberry Baby
For her 8 month photos, I chose Tiana since it’s spring and we could take a trip to the lake! I love the way they turned out even though it was too sunny for her to smile!
Kiss the Frog!
We took some photos inside too, so that I could get some smiles 🙂
She love being outdoors!
8 months old and moving all over now! I love being creative with her! This April I found this cute tub and added some bubbles and rubber ducks for this photo shoot!
We took a trip to the park and found this fence to take a few more pictures with the tub! I just love the way they turned out even though it was hard for her to smile with the sun in her eyes.
I tried to add the bubbles outside too, but it was much too windy for them to stick around for too long.
She loved being outside and the bubbles too.
7 months old already… she is so big! We chose Princess Jasmine for this month since it is still cold outside. I found some scarves at the thrift store to hang as my backdrop. Some gold canisters and jewlery too.
Baby girl is working on a tooth on that bottom left so she loves sticking her tongue there! It’s so cute too!
I still love it when she grabs her toes too!
She is still not very happy on her tummy!
She is the sweetest thing!
I love dressing my little Storm in rainbow outfits!!! Plus, it’s St. Patrick’s Day!
“Be a Rainbow on a cloudy day”
“Daddy makes me SMILE”
“ALL SMILES FOR DADDY!”
“dreamer”
“Daddy’s Pot of Gold”
“Lucky Little Lady”
“After every STORM there is a Rainbow of HOPE”
Baby Girl is 6 month new this month! We had fun with Valentine’s photos!
The “Love” sign is from our wedding decor!
“I’m not eating your Valentine’s candy, brothers!!!”
She is my Sweetheart!
6 month old baby! I LOVE purple and so this was a very fun set for me to create. We watched Disney’s Tangled a few weekends ago, so I decided to make Rapunzel our 6 month princess.
I found the backdrop curtain at Goodwill 75% off, it was $1. I made the banner with paper and ribbon that I had.
She likes to grab things, so I gave her a necklace or flowers to keep her hands occupied.
I also found the candle lantern at Goodwill for $1. I was so excited when I saw it!
Smell the pretty flowers!
I used a paint pen to make the sun on the skillet.
I found a purple dress at a used baby clothing store and used embroider thread to make the criss-cross on the top.
The hair is from an old doll that I found and the scissors I found on Amazon.
Reading to bitty babies may seem pointless, but there are several great things about reading to the tiny ones! It lets them have your full attention and hear the sound of the voice that they love, which can sooth them. It helps them learn the love of books, reading, and learning. Encourages them to learn how to hold books and turn pages. Exposes them to rhyme and other language development. Reading is a great life long skill that you can start now with your little one.
Here are a few of our favorite books for new babies…
Where is Monkey? by Babs Bell Hajdusiewicz

Here are some of the books that my other children are reading now days…

As a family we are reading the Tuttle Twins series before bed at night.
We love snow, so I created a winter snow scene from branches of our Christmas tree.
She is so cute when she grabs her toes!
She hates tummy time, but I got her to stay put for half a second for the picture!
Sweet Snow Angel
She is 5 months old… time is flying by! I chose Elsa for this month since it is January. I had fun creating this winter wonderland with things that I found after Christmas clearance while shopping!
We love snow!
She still hates being on her tummy!
I absolutely love when she touches her toes together!
Sweet Baby Girl smiles!
