10 month old Lily

Adorableness is all I have to say about this child.  O.k. That isn’t all.  I could talk for hours about this sweet baby girl.  If I could only say one word about her, that word would be JOY.

But since I have an entire language in which I can choose words from.  JOY just tops the list.  Adorable, Sweet, Cute. Happy, JOY BABY.  And yes…from the womb, NINJA BABY still fits her very nicely.

Crawling, a tooth, standing, a few reluctant steps, lots of big open mouth (hers) kisses.   What an amazing, beautiful part of my family, part of my life.

9 months old

Sweet Baby Lily is now 9 months old.

I am woefully behind on her pediatrician visits.  But if I were to guess, she is now about 20 pounds.

She is happy, happy, happy.  Toothless, and still a crawler (rather than a walker).

She is such a Joy.  Such a wonderful little person.

On her feet

Did I mention this?

That is my baby girl, standing right up.

the Little Girls and Me

I’ve been trying to get some photos of the Little girls, and me with the little girls.  Our attempt today was laughable, but we had a good time, and Zoe thought it was a game.

Looks like I need to try again ;)

Understanding Exposure

Understanding Exposure is a fantastic book on, just what it says, understanding exposure.   I have read the book before and have decided I should not only re-read the book but work through the excersizes in it.  I have been charting my progress on my flickr account.  It has been interesting and fun to experience the information I have read about, and see the results in my own work.


Some cute kids

It only took 8 months, but I have photos of all five of my children….together :)

8 months old

I am not sure where the time has gone.  But my sweet baby Lily is 8 months old.  She is such a joy.  I call her my joy baby :)   I am so very blessed to have this person in my family.

Lily’s latest accomplishment is climbing!    I think I can officially call her miss trouble now too.  She is into everything she can get into.   But she is the sweetest little baby.   I love her.

I think she is teething (she is chewing on everything)

More chewing…the photos weren’t going to happen without something for her to chew on.

There is one that shows her pretty little face :)

Zoe at Disney

Zoe had a great time.  Disney was a hit for her.  This was the first trip that she noticed the big kids get to ride on rides that she doesn’t so I took extra time making sure she got to ride on some rides she would love.     I sure enjoy her :)  

Cali!!!

We spent the weekend in my beloved Southern California.  Someday I  might live there.  But right now I live in the Cold and Snowy Rocky Mountains.  And it takes many hours to get to my beloved Southern California.

We spent 2 days and Disney.  Then we went to my Ocean!  We went to this incredible beach.  It is a State Park, all protected, and wasn’t at all crowded.  This trip to the beach went much better than the last one with the little babies.  They both had a good enough time.  And I love soaking it all up.

I need to plan another trip to the beach to get me through the Winter.

We woke up to THIS

Pretty flower, eh?  Not so pretty, and very cold snow.

{{{{BRRRRR}}}}}

And…we are still sick!

This round

4 people with stomach flu

4 people with colds

1 small boy with asthma.

His asthma routine consists of breathing treatments morning and night with a maintence medication.  Breathing treatments as needed for symptoms with albuterol (rescue medication).   This has been up to four times a day.

But if all goes well, we will be escaping winter and headed for Cali mid week!  Wish us luck and pray for a safe trip.
