For baby Lennox

 

A while back I got an email from my sister's friend Ashley.  She was expecting her first babe soon and wondered if I might whip up some art for the little one's walls. 

Ya'll know how I love a baby, so there was no way I'd say no.

 

She had some really cute bedding called Lolly Living. 

Check it out.....

 

 

Adorable right? 

 

 This is what I came up with for her.

I loved it. 

 

 

 

Thankfully, so did she. 

Now they grace the walls in this little sweethearts room.

 

 

Lennox is 2 months old already and just adorable!  I hope she grows up to love her paintings too!

 

7 Months and On the Move!

 

Last week Clifford and I snuck outside when the weather was nice to explore the grass and take his 7 month pictures.  He is so big and all over the place now that we thought outside would be a nice change. It was the first time he's actually gotten the opportunity....thanks Midwestern weather.

 

I took along my trust camera and took a few (hundred) pictures.  Here are a few to warm your hearts and dry up all the rain.  (that's kinda how the song goes right?)

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's it folks, my baby, all growing up and stuff. 

 

Thank you, everyone, for sticking with us and reading our little blog.  Especially since I've written absolutely nothing of substance in sometime and I have barely found the time to throw up poorly organized pictures. 

One day soon I will regain my sanity and sense of time management. 

 I hope.  

Cliffy B's 6 month shoot

Over a month ago I went and had Cliff's 6 month pictures taken.  It's actually getting a bit late for me to take his 7 month pictures....so safe to say, these are a late.  

Nonetheless.  Here's my sweet babe at 6 months old :)

And my personal favorite....

He really is adorable. Some days I just can't get over it.  Things are slowing down a bit finally.  Or maybe it just feels like that because the days are getting longer.  

Zac and I are still working on the house.  Well, Zac is.  I am at home with the baby mostly.  Occasionally I get a sitter for a few hours and get to help on Sundays.  At this point we have ripped out the paneling, demolished a bathroom, moved around some electric, hung drywall and put down cement board for the tile floors.  It is slow going, but I'll try to post pictures soon.  

The office is picking up.  I am getting ready to run a few promotions and am praying for a good response.  You feel free to pray for that too.  :)

I promise at some point I will try to write with some regularity.  My goal was to have this be my own little memoir for Cliff.  Do one better than a baby book.  So far, fail.  I am, however, keeping up with his baby book. But lest you be impressed, I have not printed any pictures since his birth.  Mom fail.  

InfantSee

You may or may not know that of my sisters 5 kids, 3 of them have glasses.  

Zac has glasses. 

I was hoping and hoping that Cliffy B would not need them.  

You also may or may not have heard of the InfantSee program.  

Kiddos from 6-12 months old can get their first vision check for no charge.  

Awesome right!?

Cliff went to see Dr. Jones in Effingham last Thursday.  

Doc said that he is far-sighted.  More so in his left eye.  He wanted to dilate his eyes to get an idea of the prescription.  Cliff blocked him on the right eye.  

The end result was a cute puss-in-boots effect that lasted for a day and a half.  

Oh my sweet little man. 

So darn cute.  

Luckily, the doc thinks he will grow out of it.  He doesn't have to go back until he is 2 or 3.  

Yay for ok vision :)
