Portraits

DA has some wonderful people, and one of those happens to be Jackie Holloway.  She is an amazing photographer! She specializes in natural light photography, and she was very patient with my little free spirit. If you have a second, please check out our shoot and leave a comment (if there are 10 comments, we get a free 8x10)! Thanks!

Just Some Pics

Leaves

Love playing in the leaves. I bet they won't be going anywhere anytime soon ;)

Pronouns (Bragging Alert)

Presley had her 2-year checkup on October 30th.  She was in the 75th percentile for height and the 25th percentile for weight.  I was tickled that Presley had reached all of her development checkpoints, like putting two words together, has a vocabulary of 20+ words, stacks things, etc. When the doctor asked if she was putting two words together, I was taken back a little. We just parent Presley. We don't think, "Presley just put together a 3-word sentence!"  I knew that she had, but I wasn't exactly sure how many words she has put together. All that came to mind is, "Watch Gabba now." So, I have been paying more attention to that type of thing, and I can say that Presley can even use pronouns correctly. Here is proof...

Nana was trying to teach Presley to sing Jesus Love Me:

Nana: "Presley, say Jesus."
Presley: "Jesus"
Nana: "Loves"
Presley: "Loves"
Nana: "Me"
Presley: "You"

Presley's Halloween Birthday Party

We had a blast at Presley's birthday party. The weather was beautiful, the kids were fun, and our friends and family were there. What more could you ask for?

Happy 2nd Birthday Presley!

I took off of work today to take Presley to get her flu shots. Since she turned 2 today, she was able to get one as a nasal spray, but she did get one shot. It was her first shot she has ever had in her arm, and she did great! (Especially considering the two hour wait!) We made up for the experience with cupcakes, presents, and we went and picked up the inflatable pink castle for her party. Tomorrow we have to go to her two year check up, but that involves no shots!

Even though I can’t believe that Presley is growing up so quickly, it is hard to remember what we ever did without her! I know we did not laugh near as much.  Happy Birthday Presley! We love you bunches!

Cooking With Mom

I love to bake, and Presley is such a good helper!  We had fun making cookie bars, and they were really yummy.  Presley said so.
