Toddler Fall Portraits

I love fall in the Midwest with all of the colored leaves. J is loving the weather too, since he likes playing outside so much! I followed him around trying to get some cute photos as he explored.

We took some fall pictures, he was much more cooperative than I thought he would be. He like’s trying to play with the trees, rocks, and leaves. He even posed by the tree with his hand on it for me, and sitting in front of it.

22 months old now.

Baby Christmas Portraits

I like taking pictures of Baby J (13 months old), and I love Christmas too. J was such a good baby, he didn’t touch the tree when we taught him not to; but he did love playing with the ornaments when we gave him one.

He was just a month old for his first Christmas, so this year so much more fun with him.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… I love preparing for Christmas, and I usually start my planning a few months before. I’ll use some of these photos in my Christmas cards and defiantly include them in my scrapbooks.

Farm Birthday Party -1

J turned one year old today.  We celebrated with a small party with family, just how we like it.  J loves animals, especially farm animals.  His grandma reads him his favorite book, Noisy Farm, almost everyday.  His first animals sound was, “moo”, I was so excited when I found this cow balloon. I also found some cow spotted latex balloons and some “Happy 1st Birthday” balloons and decorated the around the room with crepe paper.

I decorated with crepe paper around his high chair too and put a table cloth under it since we moved it to the living room.

For his cake I made an 11×13 sheet cake and put a farm scene on it.  I used some farm toys from a game he had.  For the hay I just dyed some coconut yellow.

This was actually his first taste of sugar and he didn’t like it much.

He loves music so his grandma got him this perfect gift of singing pots and pans.  He just loves dancing to them.

I also put out his baby book for family to look at.

Happy Birthday to my baby!  I love you!
