Happy Holidays

Happy Holidays!

14 weeks...

Inspired by a conversation with my friends Cathy and Sean (Cayton Photography) I wanted to play around a bit. A little time with Kaya while Tanner napped was the perfect way to try a few things and capture Kaya in all her 14 week glory. Here is my drooling little girl...determined, as always, to get her hands into her mouth.

Super Shades

 

 

Kaya Rolls....

The first few times she did it two weeks ago I thought it was an accident. However, since then she has certainly sorted out how to get off her belly and seems quite pleased while she is doing it!

The zoo with friends...

We enjoyed a wonderful snowy Saturday at the zoo with friends last weekend. Tanner and his buddy had a great time running around, being crazy. They fed the giraffes and the budgie buddies, and worked hard to spot the leopard.

Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a nice quiet weekend at home...and I got to play with my new camera. Can there be anything better?

Her new cow

Kaya received this cow blanket/toy while in VA...and to my surprise, when I put it near her, she went after it. She managed to suck on its ear and jam the corners in her mouth. Way to go Kaya!

it shouldn't

but her pouting lip makes me chuckle.

Fall in VA

Helping Opa rake leaves quickly deteriorated...but Tanner had a blast in the big pile of leaves and soon dragged everyone else into the pile as well.

Cute Overload

I heard Tanner over with Kaya and turned around to make sure he wasn't being too rough and saw this instead. I grabbed my camera and moved in closer, boy am I glad I did. The two of them were to cute...its especially cute if I pretend Tanner's game had nothing to do with the elephant trunk shooting water up Kaya's nose!

She fell asleep

on my chest and I put her down on the sofa for a minute and could not resist grabbing a photo of her all curled up.

Pumpkins

This past weekend we headed to Happy Apple Orchards to pick out some pumpkins. Tanner had a blast running around the pumpkin patch and as always the tractor ride was a big hit!

It is starting...

I'm seeing those smiles more and more often.

Five Weeks

I can't believe my little peanut is already five weeks old! I couldn't help but try to catch the smiles that are starting to show up (more on that later), and when looking back at the photos they reminded me of Tanner. I thought it would be fun to compare the kiddos, and found the photo below of Tanner at five week. What do you think...same or different?
