Wedding shoot!

Here is a sneak peak from the wedding I shot on Saturday. There are so many good shots, it's hard to decide what to put on here. Let me just say that it's hard work shooting a wedding, and more hard work editing the shots etc in between taking care of a toddler! Thank goodness for Myles (and naps) otherwise my little photo business would never happen =)

18 months

Adelaide is already a year and a half! Here is how she looks now. She had a check up today and we saw an actual MD this time. We wanted to establish care with their practice for those "just in case" situations where seeing our Naturopath Catherine isn't the right answer. Thankfully we haven't had one of those situations yet...but you never know. Her name was Dr. Martin. I really liked her and she was great with Adelaide. She answered all of my questions and was also very relaxed about things. I think she moved from San Francisco which for some reason makes me like her more, I guess because I feel like she is from back home. She said that she can tell Adelaide is a very healthy little girl with a strong immune system. I know this due to breast milk, her healthy diet, and also the cod liver that she loves to slurp up daily.

Here are Punkie's stats for 18 months.
Weight - 22 lbs 2 oz (20% which seems slight, but nobody seems concerned)
Height - 31 3/4 inches (which puts her right at 50%)
Head circumference - 18.5 inches

Fun weekend

This weekend was packed with stuff to do. On Saturday we went to the Alberta Street art hop. It was fun for Adelaide to see all of the dogs, babies, and musicians. Here is her and her daddy watching a bag piper.


Sunday was the Parkways bikeride. They close of a 6 mile loop of streets to cars so there are only bikes and strollers on the street. It was very busy and crowded, but Adelaide loved it. We spent some time at the park playing on the swings and slides. I got to meet up with some old friends that I used to work with. I'm sorry that I didn't take any pictures. It was a really fun, yet tiring day!

Curly girl

Also be sure to scroll down - as I added in some pictures from this month that will show up before the other posts that had already been posted earlier. Does that make any sense?

Engagment Shots

When you get the chance to photograph people who are this beautiful, you don't pass it up! I just did this shoot today and am too excited to wait until tomorrow to post a few. Congrats to these two !

Little clothes

catch up

I need to catch up this blog with pictures and words, but it's been far too nice outside these last few days and the last place I want to be is here on this machine. We have been having fresh salads from the garden daily, and today Adelaide got to run around the front yard naked. I had a photo shoot today, another one for tomorrow. Summer is on the way and I can't wait to spend every single moment of it outside.

Bath

Picnics in the yard

It's finally warm enough to be outside! It seemed like summer might never get here, but we were lucky with a few nice warm days. We had a picnic in the yard. Adelaide's new favorite food is blueberries! She LOVES them! We also get to go to the park when it's nice out!

Mothers Day

What a perfect day. Myles made my favorite creps for breakfast, and my very favorite pesto dinner from scratch. I feel so lucky to be a mother, and can't think of a better reason for a holiday!

Dress up ~as usual

Random Pics and Videos!!!

Can you tell she is Italian? Earth Day in Portland.
March 4th marching band stilt walkers. Adelaide really liked these guys - they were at the Earth Day festival. The band was super amazing and really fun to watch.
Awwww, gardening with Daddy - this one melts my heart.
Adelaide when she went to space!
Here is a video to demonstrate how good Adelaide is at communicating, and how clueless I can be?! She LOVES her broccoli!



Here is a video of Adelaide lounging in the balls at OMSI when we were there with her Pops!

And here is a video of her watching the rain outside. She loves the rain =)

Playing in the dirt

Our garden is growing! It's time for fresh spinach salads. Adelaide always grabs this same little pot of dirt. She likes gardening.

Lion and a Hippo

Here are my latest little crochet animals. I'm really excited because I ordered some colorful eyes, so my next creature will be that much better! Do you think I could sell these? What is the most someone would pay for a little hand made animal? Do you think I could get like $50 for one? That seems way too high right? People will pay a lot for organic homemade baby things.... maybe $30?? It takes me almost a week to make one...so I'm not sure it would be worth it to try and get an Etsy store going...but it's something I've considered and always have new ideas of things I want to make to sell on there, like Christmas stockings and wool diaper covers. I need advise. Help!

Happy Anniversary

Three years ago today I got to marry my sweet soulmate in the most beautiful place on Earth (Northern Ireland). There are not many days as special as this one. I love you Myles! Thanks for making our family the perfect family for US!

Ikea tent

Here is Adelaide hanging out in her new tent with Froggy, Bunny and Big Bear. Sorry she is a little blurry - but you get the idea of how much fun it was.
