Fiona is 2!

Miss Fiona turned 2 already! You may remember her fabulousness in other blog-starring roles, but in case you've forgotten, here are highlights where she rocked it- newborn, 6 months, 1 year and 18 months!

With a 2 year old, the goal is to keep up with them (and keep them active/having fun!). A typical two year old will not sit still long and pose, so get your running shoes on! 

We started off with a little walk on the cold/windy day. She was definitely a trouper and cute in a hooded sweater (though refused an adorable hat, but hey, we learn to go with the flow)!

Can't go wrong with a walk with mom and dad (and parents get to avoid posing too! :)..

What a sweet smile...

A semi-attempt at posing- showing off her boots!

Before long, we had to get inside and warm up- and perform a little...

Mom and daughter- duet!

Encore! (at Fiona's direction)



What else does Fiona love to do (when she's not playing or conducting music?) Puzzles of course!

And games like 'Ring Around the Rosie'...

Two year olds have the right idea when it comes to having fun.  Thanks for letting me spend the morning with you having fun myself! :)

Falling into Spring

I can't believe spring is almost here (my second favorite season after fall).  Sometime during the craziness of the holidays, getting pictures out to families took priority over blog posts.  Now that I'm gearing up for what spring and summer have in store, I wanted to revisit some of the fall fun I had with a few little guys!

I loved the boys' matching outfits and how incredible the color was.  Nothing really beats the outdoors for a backdrop, and with active boys, it's just better to have a place for them to run around:

Case in point: How cute is it just to get those moments of them having fun?

Sure, we try to sit them down for a couple seconds, but how long do little ones actually sit still anyways?

As active as they can be- we got the family shots!

Now this little guy visited my backyard for a great backdrop for his 6 month session.  Wow, how I miss that color!  What a good sport sitting in the wicker chair (good sports for mom and dad too!)...

You really can't go wrong with a Radio Flyer- how fun...

Playing in the leaves is a session requirement... :)

...as is high flying with dad- always a baby pleaser!

Here's to looking forward to warmer weather, lots of outdoor time and my favorite season here once again before I know it!
