Raelynn can share

I know that I post a ton of pictures of Lilly, so I decided to make an entire post just for Raelynn and her antics.

Raelynn sharing her cheerios with Doc Dog

Pardon the snotty nose but my kid makes the funniest faces

What on earth goes through her head when she makes these faces?

Doc waiting patiently for some more food.

Raelynn can point, and she points at everything like she wants to know what it is

So funny!

More funny faces.

Raelynn has the funniest personality! She is a lot like Lilly was at this age, she is bubbly and loud at home but as soon as we get out in public she quiets down and observes everything. She is different than Lilly in a lot of ways too, mainly she is snuggly! Lilly didn’t put her head on my shoulder until she was about 18 months old, Raelynn on the other hand will crawl up into my lap and put her head on my chest and start to suck her thumb. She’s not sleepy when she does it, she just wants to be close to me, and I love it!

Tea and Yoga Party

I’ll just post the pictures and let you see what my mornings are typically like.

Lilly setting up a tea party in Raelynn’s room

At first Raelynn wasn’t interested

Then she realized how good Lilly’s “coffee tea” really is

So good she can’t put the cup down

Sharing tea together

Raelynn thinks she’s a dog

Lilly’s so silly

More tea

How proper, my little one year old even puts her pinky up when she has tea.

Lilly pouring more

Mmmm…Good

Ok tea party’s over now it’s time for some yoga!

Lilly joined in the yoga party too!

Buddy the puppy

About a month ago my mom came out to LaPlace to help me with my first LPC Craft Fair. My mom has been wanting/needing a dog for a while now and look at what “showed” up at the church. He was actually abandoned at the church and my mom wanted to adopt him as soon as he was brought in the door.

The local news paper even wrote an article on it! Read it, it is a very sweet story! My photography (and my precious little girl) ended up in the newspaper too!

Seussical Birthday Party x 2!

Lilly and Raelynn’s birthdays are exactly 3 weeks apart so I am going to do joint parties for them for as long as they will allow it.

Here are some pictures from Lilly’s actually birthday, which was fell on Easter this year.

Lilly’s birthday gift

Cupcakes for Lilly’s birthday, they were also sent to school for her class to snack on.

“Today I am 3, my favorite color is pink, I want to be a princess when I grow up, my favorite food is tomato!”

20 questions that I’m going to ask the girls every year from age 3 on up.

Happy girls in their matching Easter dresses, getting them to both look at the camera is impossible!

Lilly “hugging” Raelynn

Dying eggs, nobody in our house likes hard boiled eggs. We may not dye eggs again, it really was pointless.

On her 3rd birthday Lilly wrote her name all by herself!

Yummy cupcakes

As usual she only ate the icing.

The weekend after Lilly’s birthday we celebrated both of the girls birthday with a wonderful Dr. Seuss themed birthday party. Thank you pinterest, my wonderful mother in law, and my mom for helping me plan this party!
