Cute Bambi Romper!

Hey friends! So I ordered this adorable little romper for Morgan, so naturally I had to get out there a snap some pictures of her in it! I absolutely LOVE this piece! It is so soft light weight, perfect for warm summer days. Check out their shop and get your littles in one! LittleRascalsApparel :) 

14 months old!

Beautiful day in the PNW!

So the weather here in Washington has been nothing short of PERFECT these last few days! Today we went on a walk at one of our favorite places- the Nisqually Wildlife refuge. We actually did maternity pictures there as well as family pictures when Morgan was just 2 months old, so it was only fitting to snap a few of the three of us together.

This picture is courtesy of the stroller snack try and my camera's timer setting..haha :) Whatever works, right?!

Part of the reason I wanted to come here is to get some shots of this adorable little dress I got for Morgan from The Vintage Crown,  I cannot get over how adorable this thing is!

My little princess wanted to check out the dirt! hahah <3

My Goofy Girl!

So in an attempt to expand my knowledge of photography and get more familiar with my camera, i'm starting to take more pictures! I know what you're thinking, "Jamie, you already take soooo many pictures" hahah I know, I know.. it is true, however i'm trying to do more with my camera not my cellphone! These are from today. The weather was great and Morgan was feeling extra sassy! ;)

Seriously the cutest girl I ever did see!

Party Planning!

I still cannot get over how soon my little baby is turning one!! I've been having so much fun browsing Pinterest and after a lot of thinking it over, i've finally got some ideas set in stone! I made this set as a little sneak peak of what her party will be like :) I cannot wait to start getting everything together for it and am excited to celebrate with friends and family.

Let me know what theme you did for your little ones first birthdays! I went back and forth on sprinkles and owls, as well as a few others.

Morgan's 10 month update

10 Months! My my! I am going to keep this update short and simple, A lot hasn't changed since last month! We are about to start making plans for Morgan's first birthday, I can't even believe I am saying those words, it still feels like just yesterday that we brought her home..

"I never want her to think that the whole world revolves around her, but I want her to know, without a doubt, that my whole world does."

Tutu love!!

9 Month Update!

 I can't even believe I'm typing these words right now... 9...months...!!?? So much has changed in these last few weeks and slowly but surely Morgan is starting to be less and less of a baby and more of a.. human.. Well she's always been a human, you know what I mean! It's just crazy watching her personality come out more, I love it so much. She's starting to be so much more aware of her surroundings, she loves crawling all over the house and checking out everything! She even plays more independently now, that's bittersweet!  Okay enough with the dramatics and on to the update :)

Look at that little cutie!! She's rockin' her top knot from Moo Buggy & Amber teething necklace that I picked up locally at a store called Simple Cloth, the brand is Momma Goose.

New this month:

You are 15lbs 12 oz, 25.5 inches long

You have 0 teeth

You pull up on everything

You walk using your walker

You crawl SO fast

You're in 6 month clothes and a few 9 month outfits

You wake up a once at night to eat

You usually nap once a day, sometimes twice

You eat little bites of whatever we eat, you love pancakes!

You don't like baby food anymore, you'd rather feed yourself :)

You love to dance--> Super cute video of it

You love to chase after the dogs

You say "mama" "dada" and "baba", along with other gibberish! You're very vocal

...and what would our photo shoots be without some silly faces?! These might be my favorite part :)

What I'm doing Wednesday!

So I was tagged by my lovely mama friend Rachel (if you aren't following her blog, well... stop that nonsense and follow it)! So this tag came at a perfect time, today I decided a little photo shoot with miss Morgan was a long over due so we were just playing around in the living room and  I was practicing with my indoor lighting photography skills (or lack there of....) So that's what I am doing today with my sweet little one, here are some of the results:

How cute is she?! I know I'm a little biased because I'm her mother... but sometimes I can't even handle it! Or as some would say...."I can't even" ;)

Hahah she's pretty skeptical... ya?

If I could give one piece of advise to new moms, expecting moms and even people who just plan on having kids someday... take A LOT of pictures!! You will not regret it! Spam your Instagram, Facebook, Twitter! Whatever it is you use, or just keep them on your computer... either way, take them! I try to do a "photo shoot" type thing with Morgan at least monthly, plus I take pictures of her pretty much daily on my cellphone. I love being able to look back and see how much she has changed and grown and I cannot wait to show her all the pictures when she is older :) This goes for videos as well! I'm trying to be better about that myself, I've even been throwing around the idea of starting some sort of "vlog"... but we'll see! (yes? no? input is appreciated). So any who, that was kind of my "What am I doing Wednesday" with some advice! Hope you enjoyed, Thank you for tagging me and inspiring me to write this Rachel! You rock ;) <3

*Here's how photo shoots with a curious baby really go*

Morgan Raelynn we love you so much, watching you grow up is so fun!  Even though it's going by fast, I am cherishing every moment I have with you.
