Halloween Preview

Ok- so the real holiday isn't until Friday but I had to post a couple pictures we took this weekend of Adalei in her Monarch butterfly costume! I was feeling really proud because I couldn't find antennae (which of course was absolutely necessary) so I bought a bee dog costume stole the antennae off it and glued it to a head band- perfect!

Autumn

Ok- So Autumn is so drab here in Idaho I often daydream about crisp walks through the beautiful hills of Minnesota....(sigh) So today we took Adalei to one of the only places (besides the cemetery) that has lots of big beautiful (for ID) trees. We got some shots of her playing in the leaves. (oh- we also tried to get a pic of us both kissing her (I know, sentimental) but as you can tell...didn't work well)

More Adalei

I haven't updated in a little while, so here are some pics of the Adalei circus...

She loves her sunglasses, Grayson puts them on her so she looks like a prudish librarian. But she takes them off like a famous movie star, one handed flair!












When I go and get her from her nap, she is generally bouncing up and down holding onto the bars- cute! But when I try to get her to sleep she clings to them and cries like I put her in jail!

she is finally getting her teeth! I don't know about you people but I could have sworn she was getting her teeth 3 times already and nothing happened...but now here they come! The only way I could take a pic though was to feed her, otherwise she kept sticking her tongue out. Can you see her little teeth peeking out?

Say Cheese

We attempted to do Adalei's 8 month pictures ourselves...yeah right. She cried and threw up and pooped her diaper and had a complete meltdown. It's amazing, she wants our attention 24/7 but as soon as you try to get a few shoots ....
