Cutest Pumpkin Ever...

Couldn't wait to share some pictures of the " cutest pumpkin ever!" I am sure one day she will say, " Mom, I can't believe you made me do that!", but that's what happens when you're mom is a photographer.

Fun day...

Today was such a fun day. I got to photograph the family of some of our dear friends! Every time I have a photo session, I am reminded how much I love taking pictures! Then the Aggies won, and it was such a fun game to watch. The only thing better would be to actually have seen it in person.

After the kid's naps, we took the kids to the pumpkin patch festival in Helotes, and had an awesome time. Aunt Jamie was able to join us for our adventure, and it was so great to see her. Mason got to jump in the bounce houses, pet the animals, and ride the train. Then said he was ready to go because he was hungry. He never says that so it was time to go and end the day with some burgers at Bobby J's. Loved our family day!

Mutual Love...

These two are crazy about each other. The other morning Mason was coming down the stairs and for once Micah was awake before him. He heard her and started running down the stairs saying, " Good morning Micah Pretties... Don't worry I am awake!" And he just showered her with kisses. Usually he is up first and when he hears her in the monitor, he drops everything he is doing and runs up stairs to get his Micah. Of coarse, with mommy right behind. He even told me, " Mommy it is Micah time! Bye bye!" Would be great if sweet boy wouldn't try to hug ( meaning sit) on her all the time. I pray daily that Mason continues to love his sister like he does now, and that the feeling is mutual!

From these set of pictures, you can see how birth order might shape the personality of a child. In Micah's short 6 months of life, she has been "loved" on every way possible and multiple times a day... meaning hugged, sat on, smashed, kicked ( on accident) and even biten a couple of times ( on purpose). Something a 1st child never experiences. You can tell by Micah's expressions that it doesn't bother her one bit. She just takes her brother's "loving". She just lights up when he is around.

Love this one... you can see Mason in the background doing who knows what, and Micah is just smiling away.

 

Pumpkin Patch ( Take 2)

After editing the last pictures of Micah, I decided to take her back to the pumpkin patch to try to get her smiling. She truly is the happiest baby but was so tired and hungry when I took the first set of pictures. This afternoon she was much more interested in the cars and enjoying the beautiful weather than smiling for the camera. I still got some great shots of our pretty girl. Take 3 will be trying to take pictures of both Mason and Micah at the pumpkin patch. Not sure I will be able to pull that off by myself.

6 months...

Yesterday my goal was to hold our sweet girl as much as possible... she is growing up way too fast! I realized there will always be laundry to do or dishes to put up, so yesterday I just loved on my babies and had the best day! Micah was six months old yesterday!  

A couple of things at 6 months... Micah LOVES her brother. He can sit on top of her or grab her cheeks and she just smiles! She also absolutely LOVES her daddy. When he walks into the room and she hears his voice or sees him, she just lights up... and her daddy feels the same way about her!

Micah is starting to eat solid foods. She had some bananas last night, and really liked them. She is days away from crawling. She just wants to try to get to her brother. She tries to go and go. She loves her jumpero and is always moving. She is in a size 3 diaper and 9 - 12 months clothes.

I know every mom thinks their baby is the most precious thing in the world, but don't you just love those eyes! Absolutely beautiful!!! I wish we could slow down the time so I can keep my baby girl a baby!

If you want to see Mason at 6 months, click the link to my post at 6 months! He sure was a happy little boy! I forgot how much he smiled!

Pumpkin painting...

Little boys love to make messes, and Mason is no exception! Today I had to go to the grocery store around 5:00 with both kids.... I know! Crazy! I just knew I would be the mom with the screaming kid that everyone was staring at. However, I didn't even have milk or anything for dinner. I bribed, I mean "rewarded" Mason by letting him get a pumpkin at HEB that we could paint after dinner. The minute he was done, he quickly reminded me that we were going to paint his pumpkin. Washable paints don't really work on a pumpkin, but he had a blast. Painting the pumpkin turned into painting the driveway but this little boy loves to paint as you can tell!

I just love that last picture... the perfect mess. On a side note, the other day I was working on the computer and Mason came up, sat in my lap, and said, " I want to send daddy an email. Just type www.com." I couldn't help but laugh. I asked him who taught him that.... " Daddy did!" Craig said the night before he was playing Mickey Mouse games with him on the computer and told him to  type http://www.disney.com/. His memory always amazes me.
