Baby Burke

Babies are so much fun to work with! These are a few of my favorites of Burke, who is 1 month old. He's so precious!

Dani - 7 Months

I cannot believe that Dani is already 7 mos. Time has flown by! She's so active, she crawls, sits up and pulls herself to a stand. Every time I turn around, she's into something she shouldn't be. Her two favorite things right now are mirrors and her big brother. She will sit and stare at herself in the mirror and try to give the baby in the mirror kisses. She is the typical little sister (myself being one, too), she follows her brother around and is always trying to play with him. Billy gets frustrated sometimes. I hear several times per day, "Mom, Dani's in my way", or "Mom, can you put Dani in the playpen?" I take Dani's pics once per month, so here are some of my favorites from her 7 month session.

One of my favorites this month. I love her eyes!
I was trying to get her to sit in the pretty wicker chair, however, she had other ideas!

Dani's laugh..... I sure love my baby girl!!

First Day of Preschool

On Tuesday, Billy started Preschool at Strawberry Door! I was so proud of my little man!!!! Billy got a Spiderman backpack for school and new Tonka truck shoes, he was so excited!! He did really good. The teacher said he teared up a little at recess and asked when his mom would be there, but then went and played. It seems like just yesterday he was a little 5 pound baby and now he's in school :)


Billy loves the rice table.
And, my little Dani, she's eating so well, this was her first time eating fajitas - and she loved them!

Pudding Painting

I got the idea for Pudding Painting from one of Billy's books about activities to do with young kids. Basically, you make vanilla pudding, then add food color and let your child make a painting on wax paper. I thought it would be fun. My mom was visiting for the Labor Day weekend, so it was a great time to try it out. Both kids had fun! And I was shocked at how little of a mess it made!

The paints
Yummy!


Dani had some Cheerio's with her pudding.

The Paintings

And finally, a bath in the kitchen sink. What fun, we'll definitely be doing this again.
