Lighting Check...

I rarely do pictures with backgrounds as I love natural lighting, but I did a newborn shoot on Sunday and a quick professional picture yesterday. I have to say I have some cute subjects to test lighting.

 

Swimming...

I didn't think I would ever say this, but our sweet Micah now loves the water! It took getting in with her everyday while we were at GiGi and PaPa's house. Everyday she got a little more brave. She even wanted me to throw her off the diving board. By the end I even got out and she stayed in by herself! We had a fun couple of days, and I got to relax and catch up on my sleep thanks to GiGi! She took the early morning shift with Mason... isn't that funny! It is not even the baby:-). My goal was to go no where while we were there and the only place I went was to take Mason and Micah to see Monsters University. We didn't even go get a Margo's snowcone!

 When Mason went swimming for the first time he had a swimsuit, hat, sunglasses, float and tons of pictures to document. Micah had a swimsuit and a picture, and my sweet Reagan went swimming in a swim diaper and no picture. However, she did enjoy it. She just kicked and kicked her legs. She spent most of the time sitting with her GiGi watching Mason and Micah jump off the diving board.

Something about 4...

I remember my friend Mandy telling me that once they turn four they grow up a lot, and she was absolutely right. I can't believe how "grown up" Mason is. He went to his GiGi and PaPa's from Friday to Wednesday. I wasn't sure he would make it until Wednesday. When GiGi told him it was time to come home he said, "  But GiGi I haven't told you that I am ready to go yet!"

 

Not sure how long he would have stayed if we would have let him. He says he is going back in 6 days, and that his GiGi will come get him if I won't take him. When I would talk to him he would just ask to talk to Micah and then see if Dad was home.  Then when he was home he said he missed Reagan the most while he was gone. Such a great big brother! Mason you sure do make us smile!

 

Catching up...

In this first picture Micah is about 6 weeks older than Reagan. Reagan is such a smiley baby but I just can't get her to do it when the camera comes out. 

 Reagan at 2 months old...

 Not sure when these were taken...one day while the big kids were at school. I don't think this even looks like her now.

 I took these a couple of days ago in the playroom. She would rather be sitting up these days.

 Bumbo time... 3 months old!
