Blonde Hair and Blue Eyes

If you asked me if I ever thought that in a million years I would have a blonde child, I would have said no way or perhaps just laughed out loud. If you asked me if I would have two, I would have said "you have seen my hair and eyes right? Dark genes are always dominate." Ha! I was proven wrong, that's for sure.
I am in love with Fina's hair right now. It is so soft and has a slight curl. It always smells divine. Love her.

9 Months Old

Today Fina is 9 months old. Strange that she has been out as long as she was in. We visited the doctor today for her well child check up. She weighed in at 18lbs 13oz and was 27.5in long. 50th percentile, so not too big! Home grown, baby. This is a 100% breast feed baby. She is not a fan of solid food either, which we are working on. She can sit up on her own but is not showing any signs of crawling. Having experienced the joys of an early crawler before, I am happy to wait :) She is saying Mama and Dada (I am serious).
I have said it once and I will say it a thousand times, we are so in love with this baby. She is such a sweet girl. Such a joy to be around.
Mama got a new lens and was so excited to try it out for Fifi's 9 month shoot. I know there are a ton of photos but I was in love with all of them! I picked up the pearls to add some glam to the photos and to use as a prop in shoots to come.
Happy 9 month birthday my baby girl. I have loved every minute of it. I love you so much!


























Oh, and if you are wondering. Yes, we have officially started our photography business. Click on the link on the top of the page for info. Thank you to everyone who helped me build my portfolio and for all the encouragement.

Those Eyes... (photo shoot)

My poor girl has pink eye. These photos were taken the day before she got goopy eyes. Her eyes are so beautiful. From the crisp blue color to the long dark lashes they are perfection to me. Just so happens that her eyes match her big brother. If you ever asked me if I thought my children would have beautiful blue eyes I would have said "no way". But turns out, they do and I just love looking deep into their eyes every day.
This girl pulls on my heart strings every day. I am so in love with her. I have said that before, right?

Six Months Old!

Can it really be? Is my baby girl already 6 months old?
Yes, she sure is. And she is so lovely. She is so pleasant. She LOVES her brother and laughs at his every move. Does not like solid food so far. Sleeps with her Mommy and Daddy every night. Delights everyone that she meets. Is a pure joy. We are so blessed to have her in our family. How in the world did we live without her for so long?









She really does smile all the time but is usually a bit skeptical of the camera so she tends to get a serious face when I put the camera in her face (which is every day).
Her stats
17lbs 8 oz
26in long

She is a healthy, happy girl. We are so thankful.

Her Close Up's {photo shoot}

I have been practicing my photography a bunch and decided to work on some super close ups. We have many of Cooper when he was a baby and I LOVE them. They remind me of all the time I spent super close to him, nursing him, cuddling him, tickling him, loving on him. I am glad to have these of Fifi now too. She is so wonderful. I hope you get the same yummy feeling I get while looking at these! I know there are a lot of photos here. There were so many I loved and I had a hard time deciding which to post. Now the challenge is deciding which to frame!
Have a great Sunday!
