“In the eyes of a child, there is joy, there is laughter, there is hope, there is trust, a chance to shape the future" song lyrics from The Eyes of a Child by the band Air Supply  106.366 Beautiful Baby Girl, with your deep blue eyes. While Mommy gets your sister dressed, you lie on her bed looking out the window. And once a week we take your photo in that same spot so that after a year we'll see how much you've grown. I can tell you already that it will be bittersweet to look back on this time and remember how very little you were in that moment.  107.366 You're a cereal addict. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, kiddo. Mommy could eat cereal three meals a day. Your addiction is so bad that we had to put a lock on the pantry.  108.366 I want to remember always how you look when you take a drink of water. You throw your head back as far as it will go and tilt the cup high in the sky.  109.366 It was a sleepless night. Big Sister woke up again, screaming in the middle of her room in the early morning hours. Little Sister didn't sleep much at all. I brought you both into our room, but no one was going back to sleep, so we all just laid in bed together and snuggled.   110.366 The weather is warming, and we can go for walks in the cornfield now. Our neighbors over the fence own horses, and you like to go see them on our walks. Daddy holds you, and I think of how strong his hands are around your tiny little body. You two are becoming buddies, you and Daddy. Sometimes you both sit in silence, but you seem to think the same thoughts.   111.366 We went to Hobby Lobby, and since Little Sister needed to ride in the stroller, it was your first time walking. But you are not just content to walk. You wanted to help, so you helped push her stroller around the store, barely reaching the handle and having to walk on tiptoe.  112.366 The sun came bursting through your bedroom window as you struggled to wake. I have that problem too. We are not morning people, you and I.

"Luck is believing you're lucky." -Tennessee Williams  99.366 We bought you a set of Daniel Tiger jammies as a surprise because you had outgrown all of your jammies. As you unfolded them to see what they were, your hands literally shook with excitement.  100.366 Aren't we so lucky to have you, our Baby Cheekers McStuffins.   101.366 Daddy made you a full Irish breakfast for St. Patrick's Day, and afterward you gobbled down all of the marshmallows in the Lucky Charms box. Here you are, leaving the other bits of cereal on the counter.  102.366 The weather has warmed just a little to be able to take some adventures. We wandered to the back field where you like to look at the neighbor's horses over the fence. Foo Foo likes adventures too.  103.366 Your first set of pigtails was so beautiful with perfect little ringlets. You look like such a big girl, not a baby. But we were lucky that you kept them in that day because you don't generally like your hair up.
 104.366 March 16: Ellie's first real smile, and it's such a sweet, wide-open mouthed smiled. You've also started to coo in a sweet little voice.   105.366 The first puddle jumping of the season. Hooray! Every strike brings me closer to the next home run. -Babe Ruth I just can't believe how big these kids are getting. I remember taking Nash's newborn photos, and it seems like so long ago, but then again like yesterday. Until recently, the weather has been downright cruddy....rain, wind, snow, hail. Nash and his family love the Tin Caps, and when the team isn't playing, the stadium is open to the public. It just so happens that when we planned to take Nash's photos, it was rainy, windy and bitterly cold. You'd never know from his photos though. He was a trooper and made it through a good portion of the session before saying "enough is enough!" I love taking these guys' pictures. This family is fun and silly, and every session is different. Can't wait to see what's in store for the next one!
