cute kid

She loves getting her picture taken...kind of. She likes to look at her picture on the camera. She just got a bath, and insisted on wearing her slippers over her feeted jammies....weird. If you notice, her hands are blurry, that is because she is doing the "itsy bitsy spider" for me. She loves "doing" that song right now.

valentines gifts

Norah got a ELMO Valentines card from her daddy...she loves that card. It is pretty tore up now, but that means she has spent alot of time opening it and looking at it. She has a daddy

who loves her very very much. Daddy gave mommy some beautiful flowers, and chocolates...but Norah demanded mommy share the chocolate.

pray for Gavin

This is baby Gavin, I met him on Friday. His mom called me and asked me to photograph him. He is three weeks old. The photo shoot needed to be done last week because Gavin is having open heart surgery tomorrow morning at 11:30am. He is just so sweet, and I fell in love with him instantly. So pray for little Gavin, and his family. I hope to do many more photoshoots with this lovely family.

impromtu photoshoot

I had a photo session schedule later in the day...well Norah thought it was fun to stand there, and get her picture taken....so we got a couple fun ones...these are some of my favorites. She likes to look at her picture on the camera now as soon as I take it. She is learning how cameras work. When she sees herself on the little screen, she will say either "baby" or "norah" and then try to kiss it...i know, its cute. =)

loves "kicky"

This first picture of norah didn't turn out like I hoped...but I love her smile. I asked her if she wanted a cookie, and this is the smile I got. =) I love her smile...but as a photographer...I don't like the quality of the picture, but oh well. The other picture is norah watching "mickey mouse" I bought a DVD of the old classic cartoons of mickie mouse, and she loves it. So everytime she see my laptop she runs over to it now and says "kicky" or something like that. I am still trying to learn her language. She never watched TV or movies until one month ago, now she is hooked! I must admit, it is nice to get 15-20 minutes of "stuff" done without a toddler tripping me everywhere I go.

another picture of norah and marshall

These pictures were taken when Marie and Marshall were home for Christmas. Marshall just loved playing with Norah, and of course she loved him. I wish they lived closer so our kids could grow up together and be closer cousins. Marshall is almost 7 years old! Wow. that is so hard to believe.

The pic. with norah and her mouth of food...well let me explain. Marshall was making her laugh while she was eating, all table manners were forgotten at this time....well....actually she has no table manners. So no harm done. =)

Norah and Snuggles

I have been wanting to get some pictures of "Snuggles". This is Norah's faithful companion. The bear is stained, and an unpleasant lingering o

dor, even after his bath in the washing machine...but he is dearly loved by Norah. If we lose "Snuggles"....boy I dont even want to think about that. I think I am as addicted to this bear as she is. He brings her more comfort than I can most of the time. Well...we all have our quirks, I am still addicted to my blanket....thanks Grandma Opal. =) And now my daughter has her quirk...his name is Snuggles.
