Spring Photoshoot

I LOVE Spring! It is literally my favorite time of year. I love the newness of life it symbolizes-that everything was dead but comes alive again. I love when the trees bud and the birds chirp--Hold that--most birds minus the most annoying red cardinal that lives in our neighborhood that has convinced himself that he can fly through our windows? I'm not sure but he runs into our windows every morning, sometimes I think just to spite me.

I was hoping the spring forward time change would be great since the sun comes up an hour later I thought maybe Gabs and I could sleep in an extra hour...nope. She decided to wake up an hour before she normally wakes up which means it's two hours before she would normally wake up without the time change?! We'll work on that one. I don't think it's right to be up before the sun.

Gabby and I had a little photo shoot on a beautiful 70 degree day!! (Yet it's snowing today?! Seriously.)

I don't know why, but I love watching her sit up from behind her. She's so cute!!

When she discovered there are leaves on the ground.

She thought it was funny that it would crackle in her hands :)

Of course everything in the mouth!

Right before bedtime with Daddy. Instead of "winding her down for the night" He gets her all rowelled up!!  

We are a week away from being 9 months!!!! I love this age! She is soo much fun discovering the world, recognizing people and knowing who they are (and sometimes don't know who they are) Crawling everywhere--she's drawn lines for herself. She won't crawl on the hardwood floors--I'm dreading the day that line will be crossed. She has decided she has to have a bite of whatever I am eating--makes me want to watch my diet. Her favorite movie is still Cloudy with a chance of meatballs, but she likes a new show!! Ni hao kai lan--it's about a little chinese girl. So cute! Until next time!! T-Minus 15 days till our girls trip to Seattle to see Tara and P!!!!!!!!!!!! I CANNOT WAIT to get out there! :)
