Nothing Every Day

Yesterday I texted my friend Rheannon and said this: "The lighting is perfect this morning. Grab a cute outfit for Jeremy. We're going to go take some pictures." With that, we got these special moments... Their attempt to hug - LOL Love that I can hear her giggle in this shot...

Some days the light comes in through our front windows just gloriously and makes my daughter's beauty shine ever so brightly. She likes to giggle now when you kiss the palms of her hand or tickle her feet with your finger tips. Her favorite thing to sing is "La la la la" while her four fingers of her left hand are shoved in her mouth. She is perfect and I can't imagine life without her.

This year we asked our great friend, and professional photographer, Thomas Nash to take our family portraits. It is a little trickier now that there is a wee one of us and doing them ourselves is just not as easy or fun. He did a fabulous job and here are some of our favorites:

I've contemplated starting a new tradition with Amity: Baking Wednesdays. The idea being that Amity, who is in love with food and doing fun and messy things, and I can share some good time together doing something I love and sometimes share that time with friends baking things at our house or theirs. Our first attempt at this tradition was this afternoon as we made homemade zucchini bread! It smells scrumptious and as you can see from the pictures left Amity's mouth watering all over the place! While it was baking, Amity was quite entertained by Tweaz who kept wandering around the kitchen meowing at the top of his lungs... of course... She was so hungry in fact, that she tried to see just how much of her rattle would fit into her mouth! It was quite hilarious! And then... the zucchini bread was done! { Baking Wednesday Day 1: Success! }
