Bumbo and Tea Parties

 Maren got to go to a birthday tea party today. She chose to wear her best petti skirt a found accessories to wear at the party!

 In the midst of all going on, we hadn't even gotten the bumbo out. So Cora gave it a try today and seemed to really like it!

She gets uncomfortable sitting for too long, but had a good time, none the less. (Thanks to Ms. P for the polkaspots outfit. :) )

Sweet Cora is 3 months old......

Cora is already 3 months and I have returned to work. It has been an adjustment, that's for sure. I think I will still be adjusting when next June comes, bringing summer break. I have Ms. Peggy to thank for these photos. She gives so freely to others and ran over on very short notice when I asked her to do an emergency shoot a little early for Sweet Cora. Cora wasn't too smiley of a subject that afternoon. At least, not to the camera. She loves an unobscured face to look at and doesn't know what to make of a talking black box.

 Maren spells "Cora" with blocks.

 Sweet Maren and her fabulous hair.



 Sleepy smiles were about all she was giving the camera that afternoon.

Wordless..... :)

Mini-vaca

Maren loved the rides at Arnold's Park this year! The Kiddie Coaster and Log Ride were her favorite (and the carousel, and the spinning apples, and the fish, and the train...)

Getting ready to go out on the boat. She loved riding fast in the front and stopping to play at a beach. Swimming in the middle of a bay with mommy - not so much. Maybe next year. 

Here's what hot, sleepy babies do on vacation...

Parks

 The weather has been awesome this week! No more 90 or 100+. The girls and I went to Old MacDonald's Farm on Tuesday to see the animals and meet friends for a picnic at the playground. Maren had fun getting out and trying her turn at driving this "tractor." 

 All of my photos from the day involve her back. That girl doesn't like to pose for the camera.

 Jumping off a stump....one of many, many times.

 On Thursday we met Daddy at another park for a lunch date. Maren wanted to play in the sandbox there, but didn't have any tools - she improvised with sticks.

Cora did a lot of this - but sometimes changed it up by sleeping in the front carrier. She is changing a lot - look at how her hair is growing! All her natural brown and red highlights are really showing now. So lucky!

Be still, My Heart.

 My little ballerina.

 Unconditional.

My itty-bit.

Please, Time....Slow down.

7 weeks

Cora is 7 weeks old today!

Maren wanted to take pictures like Cora. 

Maren's new favorite movie is Scooby Doo's camp mystery (or something like that.) and she is very into spooky stuff and monsters again. So, she gave me her best scary "woods-man" face the other day!

G'morning!

These two are definitely related.
