This photo is classic because it shows how totally different my girls can be. It should also make it very easy to tell them apart (for those of you who may have trouble). :-)

Here is Kaylee showing off her "kitty" masterpiece.

And a few more photos of the kids or the "walking messes" as I prefer to call them.

Aiden's Baby Panel

I have not been big into having professional photos taken of Aiden. I know...bad mommy! I was obsessed with taking the girls every 3 months and ordered some huge photo packages. I have piles and piles of extra photos to prove it!

With Aiden, I chose to do a baby panel through Captured Moments Photography. The purpose of the panel is to capture a photo every three months during the baby's first year so that you can watch how they grow and change.

Unfortunately, several things happened during the past year that threw us off schedule. So, instead of the customary four photos I was able to receive a custom panel with three photos. The photos were taken at approximately 3, 8, and 12 months. The panel came in a nice frame as well.



These are a few extras that were taken during our sessions.

Let me know what you think!

Monkeys Everywhere!

Most everyone around me knows that I have a slight obsession with monkeys. It all started when I was just a little kid and would tell my mom that I wanted a pet monkey that talked and wore diapers. This became a running joke with all my friends and family and I lost count of the number of monkey jokes, cards, and stuffed animals that I received through the years.

So, I suppose it isn't too surprising that I would go overboard on the monkey theme once my baby boy finally came along. I had to have the mod pod monkey nursery bedding and decorations... nothing else would do. He has a gazillion monkey outfits and even a monkey hat that he wore for his six month photos. And, it isn't any big surprise that his first birthday theme had to be monkeys. The mod monkey theme to be exact. :-)

Aiden received so many adorable outfits for his birthday and it wasn't a huge surprise that quite a few of the outfits involved monkeys, even a personalized onesie with a monkey face! He also received a monkey lamp to match his nursery theme and a few monkey themed toys and books.

The biggest surprise of the party, however, was the monkey cake that my good friend Megan made.

Could it get any cuter?

Overall, it was a perfect birthday party for my little monkey baby. Let's just hope he doesn't grow up to hate monkeys due to my monkey obsession!

A Birthday Celebration!!

Thanks for the photos Jamie!
