Who’s idea was it to make blueberry pancakes for Easter? Oh yeah…it was mine! Our little piglet loved them, and he has the blue fingernails to prove it! What a mess!

Love this kid! Happy Easter, everyone!

My how time flies…my little monkey turned one a few weeks ago. I still can’t believe it has been a year already!

Look at how big he’s gotten!

We had a cute Sesame Street party, and no, I’m not that super crafty Martha Stewart-like mom that makes everything. Believe it or not, these adorable “double” cupcakes were from Kroger! They did a great job!

Sam really got into it, although he wasn’t quite sure what to do at first. I think he was a little taken back with everyone staring at him!

Look at Big Bird…perfectly balanced on that big old noggin!

He eventually dug right in!

Happy birthday, Sam! We love you.

Mr. Sam was the cutest monster ever last night! He was so good. He kept his costume on for over an hour…hood up and all!

Oh, he kills me. Look at that lip!

He did the mash
He did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
He did the mash
It caught on in a flash
He did the mash
He did the monster mash

Aww, sweet little Sam. Seven months old already. I can’t believe how much you’ve grown. Just look at those baby blues.

Look at that goofy grin.

Picking weeds instead of apples…and sitting up like a big boy!

I think it’s safe to say that Ken is pretty smitten with Mr. Sam.

The orchard also has a pumpkin patch…and again, Sam was more interested in the weeds!

They didn’t have you where I come from
Never knew the best was yet to come
Life began when I saw your face
And I hear your laugh like a serenade

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I’m never, never giving you up

— Dixie Chicks

Baby mine, don’t you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine
Little one when you play
Don’t you mind what you say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine
If they knew sweet little you
They’d end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they’d give just for
The right to hold you
From your head to your toes
You’re not much, goodness knows
But you’re so precious to me
Cute as can be, baby of mine

— Dumbo

When I see your face
There’s not a thing that I would change
Cause you’re amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause you’re amazing
Just the way you are
— Bruno Mars

Pretty pretty please!
Don’t you ever ever feel
Like you’re less than,
Less than Perfect
Pretty pretty please
If you ever ever feel like you’re nothing
You are Perfect to me!

— Pink

I can’t believe my little guy has been here a month and I haven’t shared any photos of him! He arrived on March 18 at 9:15 p.m. and he couldn’t be more perfect.

Here is my best attempt at a portrait while lying in my hospital bed with little Sam between my feet.

Sam with his proud daddy in the hospital…

Sleepy boy…

He’s getting so big already. I can’t believe he is a month old. He’s changed so much!

This one just melts my heart. Sam with Daddy. My two favorite guys.

I’m sure there will be a lot more of Mr. Sam on the blog in the future!

Introducing beautiful little Tatiana! I had the pleasure of shooting her first portrait session a few weeks ago, when she was two weeks old! Have you ever seen so much black hair???

This is my favorite…Tatiana with Mommy.

What is cuter than baby feet?

Thank you, Jackie and David, for letting me capture your beautiful little girl’s first portraits!
