Back to School 2012
My Toothless Beauty
All she needs for xmas is her 2 front teeth
I love that toothless grin and can’t believe she is already 6. Where did my little round kewpie doll go?…her sassy self is going to give us a run for our money.
Back to School– 1st and 3rd Grade
Oh my I have kids…not babies, not toddlers, not preschoolers but KIDS.
Big lunch packing, bus riding, homework doing, all day school kids.
Willow- Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
I am in love…with my new puppy Willow. She is so lovey-dovey and just yearns to be cuddled. She is BEAUTIFUL..seriously every where we go people ohh and ahh all over her. She is sweet with the kids but also really likes to play. She already has great manners and hasn’t even barked once outside in the yard.
I couldn’t help myself and had to do a few formal portraits of her!
And a few more casual
And this is how she sleeps… couldn’t you just die–seriously its hard to keep our hands off of her. Lucky for us the more attention she gets the better – as far as she is concerned!
Bed Head
Beauty has the best bed head ever. I am not sure what she does in her sleep but most mornings she looks like her finger was in a socket. Its not easy to get her to let me brush it either.
Did I mention she is not a morning person.
Toothless- jmross lifestyle photography
Beauty finally lost her first baby tooth. Believe it or not I pulled it out with a string!
She couldn’t wait for school so she could show her teacher and take home the “tooth-book”– a classroom book with a a cute brown bear, brown bear inspired rhyme..
“Tooth Fairy, Tooth Fairy what do you see, I see ___________’s tooth smiling at me” You fill in the blank with your name and then attach a picture.
But before I got the picture printed and in the book Beauty lost another one, so we had 2 entries.
Ballet Recital Preview
It’s that time of year again…
We are a few weeks away and she has her costume, she is learning the dance, and it was time for the ballet class pics.
I couldn’t resist stopping on my way home to snap a few myself…just in case
After-all she looked totally precious !
Holy Stripes Batman!- Colrado Family Photographer
My little Beauty lives in the world of Fancy Nancy!
Over the top is a way of life. Accessories are a necessity.
Some of the outfits she puts together can almost make you dizzy.
I usually let the concoctions ride, as long as the outfit is weather appropriate.
We were walking out of the gym the other day and someone said, “Wow, what a colorful outfit,”
I shout out in my defensive mother voice “She dresses herself”
They said “Well, her outfit makes me feel happy”
What a nice compliment!
