Sunday Funny.

I just have to share this cute Kylie story before I forget it. She says the funniest things lately and I wish I would get better about writing them down... I know that years from now we would get a kick out of reading all of them.

So, last night, Matt was getting Ky ready for bed... (it's their little nightly ritual... bath, lotion/massage/pjs/storytime) and this conversation took place:

Ky: "What do you wish for, daddy?" (assuming she got this from a neighbor friend because she isn't usually so intellectual :))

Matt: "I wish that mommy's and Gavin's and your dreams all come true."

(Excellent 'Miss America' answer, honey.) "What do you wish for?"

Ky: "Me wish to be a cat."

Hahaha! You gotta appreciate the 2 year old way of thinking!

So simple! I love it! And, her!

Flashback Friday.

Flashing back 2 years, to a happy, chunky, not-yet-walking, adorable little 10 month old Kylie Rae.

These photos were some of my first with my new camera (when I got my first Nikon)... and the addiction truly began now.

Always smiling!

I LOVE the crawling stage!

Where has the time gone?!

And to think that Gavin is only 7 short months away from being this age! Whoa.

Fish & Corn.

Gavin is loving the fishy playmat. He is a squirmy little thing, and I think is getting close to rolling over.

I'm trying not to rush it, though... I would like my little guy to be stationary for just a while longer!

"Who's that stud muffin?!"

"Hey fish, check out these lips!"

Nothing says summer like good ol' corn on the cob and Kylie is taking full advantage of it this year.

She can put it away, too!

Baby JJ

I had the pleasure of photographing my new little nephew, JJ, when he was only 6 days old. He was such a little angel and slept the entire time, even with me moving and manipulating him like crazy!

He's only 11 weeks younger than Gavin, but it was a shock being around such a tiny baby again. It seems like Gavin flew right past this stage so quickly that I can barely remember it. Hence, the importance of these photos!

My favorite:

Laying on the hope chest that our Grandpa Bill made Stacy when she was in high school.

So content in mommy's arms...

Kenny, Sydney and Steven checking out their new baby brother:

I love, love, love photographing newborn babies... especially when they are as cooperate as this little guy was!

Another day at the pool.

Ky loves splashing in the water and playing with the fun fountains.

After all of that hard work, it was time for a peach break.

(Sorry ladies, he's taken :) )

And so is this next little man...

He just chilled on the beach towel with mommy, having a grand ole time!

This last one is one of my favorite pictures in awhile... makes me smile every time I look at it!

Sprinkler fun.

The sprinkler ball has been accepted this summer.

Last summer, Kylie wasn't such a fan... this summer, is a whole 'nother story.

We pulled it out last week for the first time and she had a blast with it!

3 months old.

Our little man turned 3 months old on Monday and I cannot believe it. My baby is no longer an infant. He's a growing, chubby baby that is showing his personality more and more every day. Going through this once already, I know just how fast it goes once they hit this point. Trying to soak in every smile and coo and baby chunk.

Love his little "too cool smirk"!

Love this next shot... the light was hitting the top of his head just right, making him look like a balding, old man!

His "official" 3 month shots:

And, for comparison's sake, Kylie at 3 months...
