Oh La La

I love photgraphery! I think there is something so special about capturing a moment, whether it is a mother to be, a little ones first steps or someone laughing. It all bring joy to me! Recently I started to play around with Boudoir style photography and fell in love all over again. Here are some of my favorites.

I look forward to hearing you thoughts, critics and ideas. If you are interested in having your photos done give me a call.

Hello Monkey,

So we need to talk! You are growing up way to quick. A part of me loves every little minute of it and can not wait for you to show me all that you have learned, but then the other part of me realizes how quick you are growing up and that you will not be my baby for every. If you are not going to be my baby, or little boy forever than that means at some point you are going to grow up turn 18, go to college get married and start your own life. sigh.

Last week I put you in "big boy" shoes when we went to go see the chickens. This week you wanted nothing else than to where those shoes. You would run over and grab them and try to put them on. It is a good thing that you want to wear those shoes, because we have been going to the park a lot more and it has been on the muddy side.

On Saturday Daddy was working in the shop so we had our own special day! We went to the park and had a picnic. The day was beautiful and sunny, we had PB&G sandwiches and blueberries. We sat on a picnic blanket, I would blow bubbles and you would go chasing after them. I love our Special little days.
These are the moments that I never want to forget. I love how when you first get on a swing you scream with delight or how proud you look when you climb the playground set and come down the slide.

You are a very special little boy and I am proud to be your Mom

Dear Aj,

What can I say chicks dig you, chickens that is! We had the pleasure of being invited to a friends house who had chickens running around. You loved being able to pet and feed them. At first you stayed nice and close to me when the chickens came running over looking for food but by the time we left you were chasing after them.  The next day we had to take all three cats to the vet, you were so tired because you missed your nap. You were such a trooper but finally you just either need to be held or fall asleep. Falling asleep was not going to happen so you settled on being held. When we were leaving someone came in with 2 eight week old puppies. The bigger kids were petting the puppies so we asked if it would be okay to pet the puppies as well. I am always so proud of you, most children your age are not gentle with animals. You have a special knack and are very kind when you meet new animal. This was no exception, you gentle reached your hand out to the puppy and the puppy promptly started licking your hand, you pulled it away laughing and then tried again.
Puppies and Babies what a cute combination

 A couple weeks back we were out shopping and I had a little extra credit in a store so I got you a small stuffed white cat that would meow. You loved it! Every time someone pressed the cats tummy to make it meow you could not stop your self from laughing. The kitty is climbing that latter to being your favorite toy, when you are tired you like to hold it, when you are scared you like to chew on its face (wired I know but I think it is because you dont have the pacifer)

No matter whether it is an aniaml, stuffed or real you love it. You are truly a sweet natured little boy.

Love your very Proud Mommy

How is it a week can go by and it seems like forever ago. Every day I feel so lucky to  be your Mother, but our lives are so busy memories seem to fade as fast as they are made. These letters to you are my way of remembering, they are my way of never forgetting the way you are today.

Forever my precious little boy

Dear Aj,

One day you will be a healthy little boy, but this year your little body is learning how to fight off all the new germs that in come into counter with. Last Wednesday, you came home with a fever of 103 by Thursday afternoon it went up to 105.5, your poor little body was on fire. This was your first very high fever and your Daddy and I were really worried about you. We tried ever trick in the book to bring your fever down but in the end your fever just needed to run its course and came down on its own. Every time you get sick you always amaze me at how strong you are. You don't cry as long as I am close by, you just sit in my lap, snuggled in close finding comfort in my arms. You are my brave boy.

Believe it or not but you actually have 2 whisk in your hands.

Even though you had a cold you still had enough energy to figure out new tricks. For one you can reach the door knobs now and I feel it wont be long until you can start to turn them on their own. You still play with how you can make different sounds with the tools that are around you. Tonight as I was cooking dinner you had fun playing with a whisk, cooling rack and sauce pan. You filled the air with beautiful music.

Till Next week Little Boy
Love your Mommy

Dear Aj

Have I told you recently what a joy you are and how much your Father and I adore you. I never want you to forget how much you are loved. One day many years from now, when you are a crazy teenager and are thinking crazy teenage thoughts, you can turn to these letters and hear just how special and wonderful you are. No matter what are relationship will be at the time (I am hoping GREAT) you can always look back on these letter and know that not matter what you have done, my love for you is endless


As always you are full of great surprises. My favorite of the week is your new catch phrase "Wow. Wow. Wow." you will walk around the house playing and all of a sudden there it is. I can't help but smile when I hear your little voice.

We are starting to enter into a new level of play time! Your are bringing life into your stuffed animals, whether it is a gorilla walking on the ottoman or you giving big hugs and kisses to your special animal. Last night we pulled out the play dough, the texture was so new and interesting to you. You loved putting the piece back into its jar. You watched in amazement as I rolled the pieces into balls so that we could smash them flat. Another on of your favorite pass time right now our your books! There is one book that you are quite fond of, you carry it around the house with you and when someone comes over you like to have them read it to you. The book has animal piece that pop out, you have a new favorite animal that you want to carry every week. First it was the cat and the dog, then the pig and sheep now it is the duck and lamb.

As you get older l can only imagine all the fun that we are going to have and all the trouble that you are going to get into. You are a very good boy, but the last couple of weeks you have started testing us. It started with you hitting my face out of excitement (we are working on being gentle) and then for some reason destroying the orchid that is in Mommy and Daddy's bedroom. You walk over to it and throw the faux grass out of the pot.  I have told you no sternly but you just laugh at me, I tell you no and turn you away but you just turn right back around and laugh at me. I have tried a handful of other discipline tactics and you just turn around and laugh. I finally had to slap your hand, don't worry I did not hurt you, you laughed at me when I did it. However you did leave the pot alone. I am not a big fan of that method and I can not wait until I can put you on time out. This is just the start of you becoming your own person and learning how to explore the word around you. I will always be here when you fall, when you need carrying and when you need guiding.

I am always here for you
Love
Mom
