I love this photo. Look at her smile- it's a real one. And I've almost captured all the colors of her eyes in this photo.















It looks cool in black and white, too.
















One of the little one, too.










Almost. Well, her HAIR is in focus!

It's her party! Hurray.















Swiping some icing during the singing of, "Happy Birthday".















"Pwease, Poppy? Again!"










Giggling and squealing at the fun of having four grandparents all lavishing attention on her at once!

Big sister.


 

Celebrating turning 2!

Um, my plan was to set up a photo shoot on our covered porch area. The light was perfect. The backdrop supported the Elmo "Happy birthday" sign in exactly the right spot.
She decided it would be more fun to run and explore the neighborhood. None of my cute gimmicks could compete. So, I laughed and went with it.

This one is in front of a neighbor's door. If she had gone according to plan, I'd have a few more of these!
I know the crop is terrible, but the backlighting was so beautiful, and her expression is priceless. I love this shot.
Don't you love the look, "Mom, enough pictures, already!"

We tried the birthday cake thing again. I couldn't find my backdrop (later discovered it in the dryer >DOH!< ) so I used this. It gave a bit of a green cast to her skin, so these are going to take some serious editting to get right. Bummer. But I love the idea, I've seen it lots on 2Peas and decided I had to try it too. 

Practicing for "2"sday.

We decided to practice a bit before she turns 2 for her birthday pictures. I'm not sure which one of us had more fun...




"mmm. De licio us, Mom!"















She couldn't believe I was letting her dig in. I can't either, to tell the truth. But it was great fun to watch her exploring the icing.















I love this one. "I just can't go on!"

The traditional pose, outside the door.














Going down the hill to the bus stop.















She hopped right on the bus- she didn't look back once!












Bye! 

9.5.06 Back home again!

She arrived full of smiles and giggles!
Isn't it funny how disheveled she is compared to this morning? 

8.20.06 Little man

I love these photos! Isn't he so handsome?

 

My fish, my mermaid

She's a fish...and so these are as good as it gets for photos of her on this playdate!

 

Lovely little lady

Here are a few of the fun she had "swimming", aka splashing and diving!

 

Bathing beauty

Isn't she gorgeous? Here are a few of my favorites of her.
