I have barely taken any pictures since my DSLR (the Lumix) departed.

Boo

At least I have a decent shot of Cutie Face breakfasting with Aunty Hunny!

we will miss you Hunny!

58/365

the girls and i went to the park after they BOTH boycotted naptime.

thankfully Cutie Cakes fell asleep shortly after hitting the stroller...

and that provided plenty of entertainment for Cutie Face!

57/365

We went to Zoo Atlanta with Aunty Hunny today!

Cutie Face tried out being a meerkat...clearly, she thought it was fun!

56/365

Because this is what real life looks like for us right now...



Cutie Face in Cutie Cakes' carseat...and vice versa

Nose running

Baby drooling

Chaotic life

all captured on an iPhone

while waiting for Aunty Hunny to get out of the hair salon

ahh life's new joys and trials! so different when you're a mommy!

On a walk and bike with Aunty Hunny

wearing new shoes (running shoes like her mama!) and new jeans!

Cutie Face is growing up...

54/365

First bathtime for the babe!

Thanks to Aunty Hunny for snapping the pictures!

i ❤ faces: Hands-On Fun!

oh my who can believe it? Certainly not me! I'm entering the i ❤ faces photo contest this week.

You'd think i'd have a newborn/daddy hand shot.

Nope. not me.

Instead I'm still concentrating on the first born (poor newborn--she really does have a lot of shots--just not anything cute or creative...yet!)

A couple of days ago we had beautiful weather so we went to go feed the duckies.

They loved it,

Cutie Face loved it,

and i hope you love it :-o

Check out more hands-on fun at i ❤ faces today!

UPDATE
My camera is
D-E-A-D

thankfully my sis-in-law was here to capture a meeting of blog friends

I LOVED meeting you Lauren!

52/365

Aunty Hunny meets Cutie Cakes for the first time...

and spends lots of bonding time with her!

Too many pictures?

EGAD*!!!

is it possible to have too many pictures?

well my computer certainly thinks so!

Running slower than molasses on a cold day

PLUS

the fact that my camera won't turn on (? weird ?)

PLUS

my fabulous in-laws are in town

EQUALS

no blogging for a bit.

See you soon!



*not sure why egad popped into my head but j just had to use it!

Another fabulous spring-like day...

J enjoyed taking lunch outside with his New Yorker while both girls slept...

and while I snuck a few pics of J when he wasn't looking

50/365

this is where cutie face spends the majority of her day

in and out, in and out of Cutie Cake's carseat
(aka the "Rock-arh")

ALL . DAY . LONG

49/365

We ran around outside AGAIN today after dinner.
SO nice--almost like Spring!

48/365

YAY! We played outside today!
Temps in Atlanta have been unseasonably C-O-L-D
so the fact that it was warm (in the sun) made for a glorious day in our household!

47/365

Photo Shoot: Day 1

I'm working on Cutie Cakes' birth announcement...

hopefully Day 2 will yield a few more sleepy shots!

46/365

The cats came back!
After living the high life with my parents for almost two years,
we are finally claiming the kitties as our own again!

Welcome home Churchill & Maggie!

45/365

Cutie Cakes' first Sunday service...

we hung out in the back in case she got fussy...

44/365

Cutie Cakes was just lying on our bed like this when I came into our room...
{don't worry, J was in there with her!}

I couldn't resist holding an impromptu photoshoot!

43/365

SNOW DAY!

need I say more?

42/365

Thanks to Mimi, Cutie Cakes and I were able to go to her first well-checkup,
just the two of us

Sadly, i only had my iPhone to snap the historic moment...
and then i accidentally deleted my favorite one.
BOO

41/365

Sometimes Baby Signing Time can be a bit...

shocking

Thanks to the twin and her sweet girls for coming down to spend our birthday together!

40/365

Trying out the Baby Einstein Playmat for the first time.
Sophie the Giraffe saved the day.

39/365

We're going home!
okay...actually, we are home now (YAY!)

and clearly i did not take this picture

but

i felt like it was the perfect representative of today--
how excited we were to finally be headed home

38/365

Because this blog is dominated by pictures of Cutie Face, I thought it was time for Cutie Cakes* to get her own billing today...

*Cutie Cakes is our attempted blog moniker for C#2. Be prepared--it might change

37/365

She's here!!! And we are all super excited!

36/365

Well if this 36 day post is any indicator, then this year is almost 1/10 over! Whoa!

Time to start practicing our Valentine's Day Cards!

35/365

Mimi and Poppy babysat for Cutie Face tonight
so that J and I could have a last-ditch date night before Cutie Face #2 makes her appearance

(umm, #2, feel free to arrive at any moment...thank you, your uncomfortable Mama)

PS When we ask Cutie Face where to put her sticker she says "nose"...hence the picture

34/365

Lots of pictures from what we DID today but this is my favorite portrait...

Shameless Plug

Sorry if you are seeing this post again but I really want to win :-p

Cutie Face wants everyone to know that at least the Puppy did NOT see his shadow today

an early spring for Atlanta, perhaps?

32/365

It was a Target-Ikea-Trader Joe's kind of day (a typical errand run Monday!)

Nothing like eating with your trusty BFF balloon.
