It’s official, we’ve hit the terrible twos! My once perfect little angel now makes EVERYTHING a battle. She’s very independent, and one of her popular phrases is “I dude it.” or “Lily dude it.” (Lily do it.) She used to be such a good eater and she is now becoming more and more picky. She has to have dip, sauce or cheese on everything. Today after making a scrambled egg (with cheese for good measures) and peas for lunch, she refused to eat any of it except a few pieces of stray cheese on the plate. So in steps Teddy, her beloved friend. Teddy would eat a bite and tell Mommy that he wanted Lily to have a bite. Well, after going back and forth between Teddy and Lily, before we knew it the entire egg and peas were gone! Oh, the games we mommy’s will play! I have to remind myself that this stage will soon pass, or so I can hope!
Another reason I felt the need to blog about this session was to showcase this sweet little brother/sister relationship. My Lily will soon be a big sister to a little brother and I can only hope that she is as sweet as this big sister. As a big sister gift this little girl got a camera when her brother was born and she was right by my side during the photo session. I couldn’t help but want to capture her in action so I asked her to get “that angle” while I shot from another angle. Here are the results….notice the crown, tutu, and last, but not least the ever adorable home-made Fruit Loop necklace…
I was also planning to make little faux leather leg warmers to go over her shoes to make them look like go-go boots, but my sewing machine is in the shop.
and a little trip down memory lane…one of my favorite pictures of last year’s halloween costume…
In the mornings, when I work at the hospital we walk Lily over to our neighbor’s house a few doors down. One morning she was carrying her little purse and holding her daddy’s hand. My heart melted and I thought to myself, I need to get a picture of that. Well, at 7am it’s a little dark so we took the opportunity tonight. The purse was one of my recent sewing projects. I don’t know if it’s motherhood or what, but I’ve been all domestic lately and wanting to learn new skills. My current project is a baby quilt for Lily’s new baby brother due in February. I’m also taking a knitting class, so hopefully this winter I’ll put that new skill to good use!
She’s so funny. When we are getting ready to go somewhere she says, “shoes…hat…coat…” and she’ll hold out her little arm so I can slide the purse on it. It’s great for holding a few little toys for our outings.
Seriously love that girl! Here are a few more…
