First Birthday Photoshoot.

I was so excited when I found out I was having a girl.  I kept thinking of all the fun girly things we could do together.  After having 2 boys a girl is super fun.  I've always wanted to do baby girl photos and I finally had my chance.  I did her first birthday photos just as I did with my boys....and every other photo lol.

This photoshoot was fun, she did amazing, didn't pee on the floor while out of a diaper and even dug into some cake!

I just adore this girl, I mean how could you not....look at this face!

















 
















 








HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY SERA!!

 
I can't believe a year has gone by already and this girl is ONE!  I swear the more kids you have the faster the year goes by.  I'm so sad she's already one but am looking forward to her growing and learning more.
 
I finally finished the last of her monthly pics.  She did great through all.  I have to say Alex was the hardest to take monthly pics of.  That kid didn't sit still and still doesn't till this day.
 
I love looking at these pictures and seeing how much she's grown and changed through each month.  It's pretty amazing.
 

 
 
We started off with Sera's first birthday at home then had her party in the community room where we live.  It was just easier for us and her since she isn't walking yet so a play place would have been out of the question.  She had a great time with friends and family.  We thank everyone who came to celebrate her special day with us.
 



 
  Her brothers are good helpers!
 


Her favorite presents were her new baby dolls...she just adores them!



 
And a special gift I picked up.  A cupcake coin bank with her name engraved on it.


 

 
It's party time!

More fun with Friends

I took the kids to my friend Vanessa's house again to play with her daughter.  They love playing together and her daughter and Alex get a long great.  A nice relaxing day in a big back yard and water play for the kids......what could be better?!









Play Date!

I took the kids for a play date at our friends today.  She has such a huge gorgeous back yard.  The kids played for a bit then wanted to watch a movie.  All the kids were inside while my friend was also inside making lunch.  It was just Sera and I outside.  Sera fell asleep on me and I just sat there in piece....it was sooooo nice.  I really enjoyed the 10-15 min of sunshine and quiet...except for the birds chirping which was actually relaxing.  I told my friend that I would definatley be back lol!

I don't know what it is about this picture but I just love it!


my little love <3


Alex and his girlfriend ;)



Stay and Play Fun!

I take Alex and Sera to Stay and Play twice a week and they just love it.  I'm glad they have something like this in my area to take them to.  It's a great place for them to burn off some energy and meet new friends - even great for mommy ;)



 

Happy 11 Months!

Still can't get enough of this girl!  11 Months old already, she's learning and growing so fast.  I really wish you could have an extra year of the baby stage, especially when you are sure it's your last.  I'm trying to soak up all these moments I have with her but everyday just fly's by.  I love watching the boys with her, they just adore her so much.  She's been such an awesome addition to our family <3




Happy Easter!

Love spending every holiday with these cuties!!
 
 

The kids had a great easter and got lots of goodies from the Easter Bunny ;)  Love seeing them so happy and reliving my childhood through them!
