All things boy related, right?

I’ve been picking up a bunch of funny, cute hats for my baby sessions and I came across this one and I knew Abel needed it. It is actually for a 12 month old, but my baby has a small head. (thank God or my birth story would probably be a LOT worse!)

How cute does he look in this hat!!!

Melt my heart!

haha! this one cracks me up!

Very serious about the sticks he finds.

Abel got his first of MANY bloody noses! (of course I had to get a picture to document this. It happened at the park climbing metal bars and sure enough after one minute of crying he ran back to the bars and started climbing again!)

…so this is not boyish at all…but he loves to wear my shoes…and I think it’s precious!

Don’t get all excited, I don’t have any news for you!

However, I have some super cute newborn photos to post of my friend’s little guy, Logan. (Well, not so little. He was 10lbs at birth!) I absolutely LOVE newborn shoots! They are my all time favorite subject to photograph! If you are having a little one soon, please shoot me a line. I would love to photograph your tiny one.

Since I have realize just HOW FAST they grow, I want my clients and friends to be able to look back on these photos and remember just how small their precious one was at birth.

This little guy shares the same birthday as me! Isn’t that cool? (By the way, I couldn’t believe that he NEVER shut his eyes in the whole hour I photographed him! However, he was a doll baby.)

Enjoy some pics of little Logan.

He really wasn’t sleeping here…just happened to catch him blinking….

is how many hours of “free time” I get without my little man AND IT IS A BLESSING!

Don’t get me wrong, you know I adore my little guy, but every mom needs a break to run around and get some errands done without dragging around a screaming, cranky toddler who would rather be playing. (can I get a “wha-what!”)

God has placed such great neighbors in my life. Seriously, I LOVE my community! I feel like it is the true sense of “love your neighbor”. I love just walking outside my house hearing “Hi Julie!” My neighbors are so friendly and helpful. If you need a favor, some extra help, you just have to ask one of our neighbors and they are right there. (anybody remember the raccoon story-great neighbors!)

So this Summer I met Lauren and Heather. I met Lauren at the neighborhood pool. She is a sweetheart and has a very smart toddler named Sophie. I met Heather when I saw her strolling her son and yelled from across the street that I wanted to meet her b/c she had a son my age. (You all know her little guy, Owen.)

One day Heather had this great idea that we should all watch the kids for each other to give the other moms a few free hours. We all were totally on board and it has been SUCH A LIFESAVER!!! Every young mom should find another young mom to do this with. We each have an assigned day for 2 hours with all three toddlers and then we each get 2 free days of 2 hours each. The kids love it and the moms get so much done. (Plus, Abel has a crushed on Lauren so he loves when it is Miss Lauren’s day.)

My day with the kids is Friday. I have to tell you we have so much fun together. I love these kids. One of their favorite activities is putting all three of them in the crib and jumping around like crazy. They think it is hilarious. And to get my workout in, I do jumping jacks in front of them. We all die laughing and burn lots of calories.

They also know my place is where they watch “The Letter Factory”. Here are the precious kiddos having some down time.

Every Tuesday night we have Owen for about an hour and we have to read the “famous train” book every time.

Go out and find a mommy buddy! Thanks Lauren & Heather!!!

This will be short because I should be in bed.

Abel’s Papa, Nana and Uncles came to visit the other weekend. It was great having them and Abel loves when they are here and he especially loves the tickle bug from Papa.

Enjoy! (notice that the first thing he says is “tire” and “car”. He talks about cars ALL DAY LONG!
