A Snapshot

So little time…I’m trying to learn more about photography and get out of auto. I need more time, or to be a better steward of my 24 hours, and make room for study and practice. I have been practicing more with the girls and Sophie is a good sport about it. I’m not good at all indoors yet (darn low light!) but am improving with outdoor shots. I am hoping Santa will be kind and bring me a sweet 50mm f/1.8 lens. That would be a nice incentive to get better quickly!

As for our latest news, Audrey is becoming more verbal each week. She attempts several new words and often I recognize it before she gets too upset with me. She loves to chase Cody and have him chase her for a treat. She loves the Bye Bye song from our visits to the Baby Gym (our nickname for My Gym). And she LOVES her milk still. We are in the process of kicking the milk-to-bed habit. Most nights are pretty good, but if she doesn’t eat well at dinnertime, there is a battle ahead!

For Sophie, she was very sad at preschool on Thursday because when they passed around the offering bucket in chapel, she did not have any coins to give. Bad mommy! So I will be more diligent about putting some money in her coin purse each week. During our prayers last night, I asked her what are some ways we can show God’s love to others and she said to sing Twinkle Twinkle because that’s what she sings to Audrey when she is cries. So thoughtful! She is also sleeping through the night now pretty consistently (Halleluiah!) and is not playing with poop. Life just gets better every day!

Anyway, here are some of my favorite photos this month.

A Winter Day

After church last Sunday, we came home and took some quick photos with the girls in our Sunday best. It was super cold and we had on winter clothes, which is hard to imagine now that it's 75 degrees outside! Can you believe it's February? I'll have to add my 'spring' pictures soon...but I'll save that for another day. Enjoy!

PS - Sophie is in the den telling her baby dolls to go to timeout right now. I keep hearing 'No ma'am! Go timeout! Go timeout right now!' lol

Me and my girls.

A Story In Pictures

If you've been following along, you'll notice we only have one day of potty training on record. That's because halfway through day 2, we realized Sophie wasn't quite ready yet. She was not interested at all to sit on the potty and was quite content to continue going in her pants even without a diaper. So we'll wait and try again another day. In the words of Kenny Rogers, "you've got to know when to fold 'em."

Here are a few snapshots of late to catch you up on our little world. It changes every day!

Must have a pic with the big bow...and just look at the perfect little lips! Cutie patootie!

Swings, Potties, and Bellies - Oh My!

By special request, here are some new photos of Sophie the past few weeks. We went to Gattitown recently, which is like a kids' version of Dave and Busters. She had fun 'dancing' with her friend, Liam.

Sophie LOVES to be outside and LOVES swinging with her daddy. Can't you tell from her little expression how much fun she's having!

Here is a pic of the bow board I made to hold all Sophie and Audrey's bows. I'm still making more, so will have to add another board behind the door. Welcome to the world of little girls!She is starting to learn about the potty and enjoys sitting on it fully dressed. We spend lots of time talking about pee pee's and poo poo's and how fun it is to sit on the potty. Not really dinner conversation, but perhaps one of the most important skills she will learn in her life. No pressure.... We are not pushing potty training until after Audrey gets here to minimize the stress in Sophie's life. Hope that's the right move!
And finally, here is a pic of momma bear in all her glory at 8 months preggo! Benoit and I had a date night this weekend and I figured it was a good night for a picture. Not too bad for 32 weeks! :)
