Ady // 2 Year Birthday

Stats:

Height: 34.25 inches (64%)

Weight: 27lbs 10oz (65%)

Tidbits:

- She is sleeping generally 8pm - 7am and taking daily naps ranging from 30 min - 1.5 hours. 

- She's a good eater but still prefers her fruits and carbs. She LOVES mac n cheese and most pastas in general.

- Milk and water are still about 99% of what she drinks with an occasional juice box

- She LOVES her dolls and calls them her babies. She HAS to have 3 of them to sleep in her crib and loves to dress them up and down. 

- Her vocabulary has grown immensely over the past few weeks and she's soaking up EVERY word we say. She tries to repeat everything we say and is picking up a few bits and pieces of songs and the alphabet. 

- She's sassy, sweet, a snuggler and loud.... often all within 10 seconds.

Here are some pictures from our shoot last weekend...

She's holding up 2 fingers for turning 2...

And this one is, by far, my absolute favorite. To me, it shows how beautifully perfect her face is and how much innocence there is in her eyes. 

I love you beyond words my little worm and can't wait to celebrate with you this weekend! 

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY ADALYN!!!

Weekend in the CLE

This past weekend we spent about 36 hours in Cleveland 12 hours in the car. We've officially decided that when we go back that we are NOT taking the kids again. They loved seeing their buddies but MAN that last hour each way was SUPER rough. Either way, I got to shoot a lot of my clients, we got to see our neighborhood buddies, Derek got to fertilize our house there and Ady and Drew got to play with Layla.

This picture sums up more their personalities. Cheeseball, sassy pants and goofball.

Ady even got tricycle rides around the patio from Layla!

All of that fun knocked these 2 out...

And hellllooooo eyelashes.

A Summer Staple

Freezie pops.
(or one of the other 19 names for these things!)

 

And our soon to be 9-year old just for fun...

Piggies and Pasta

2 of the things that look good on my littlest.

Fun on the 4th!

I took Drew to pick out some fireworks this year after finding out that Virginia allows them! All my life they've been illegal in other states (Kansas, Ohio) but finally here we were allowed to shoot them off! It was definitely flashback city walking through that trailer to pick them out!

And once again, these 2 pictures sum up my children perfectly...

But we had a blast...

The on the 4th we ventured to a local parade to watch and the kids LOVED it. That night we walked up the street to see a country club show that was also a hit. Overall, a great 4th!

The 4th Tooth

It fell out 2 weeks ago and is his first top tooth to fall out. The new one is coming in more and more each day!
