Studio Pictures

By -
We love taking pictures, and I think we've taken some really great shots, but we just don't have the skill or equipment to replicate what a professional photographer can do. A few weeks ago, Karen picked out a variety of outfits, and we went to do a session with Nichole Burdette (Abelia Photography). Despite Leah's short attention span and sparing use of smiles, Nichole got some great pictures.
In addition to the clothes we brought, Karen went through Nichole's props and found a "cute" tutu.  You would cry, too, if it happened to you.
A few times, Leah lunged at the camera. You can tell by her facial expression that she was pretty confident she would get to play with the $3,000 toy.
She was supposed to sit on the stool but instead decided to crawl over it.
Toward the end, she really started to lose her patience, and the only way to keep her happy was to hold her. Fortunately, this yielded one of Karen's favorite pictures.
More pictures from the shoot are in our Fall 2010 album. There are even a few where she's smiling.

Our Little Monkey

We call Leah our little monkey because she does the Mowgli crawl: She's obsessed with the dishwasher, and today she learned a new trick (sorry about the tall video—we're still learning): So in addition to worrying about the monkey crawling around, we now have to worry about her climbing up, too.

End of February

How can today be the last day of February already?  It still feels like the year just started. Andrew had his birthday. Yay for getting older! Life can only get better, right? We have a tradition of getting together with Ken and Jen (my old roommate and her man) to eat at Tucanos. Tucanos has a "Birthday Club," which means that if you sign up, they'll send you a paper for a free meal. It's on the pricier side to eat there, so I'm a fan of the "Birthday Club." We started this tradition back when we were dating because Andrew and Ken both have birthdays in February. We met up with Ken, Jen, Tyler, and Linda for our annual February Tacanos dinner on Friday night. Leah was really tired, so we didn't do anything afterward. We had scheduled it for two weeks earlier, but I ended up feeling really sick the night before and didn't get much sleep. I was not in the mood to eat anything, so we postponed. It was fun when it finally happened though. :) On hi...

Writing

I thought I should share a few pictures on the ol' blog. A special thanks to pinterest for the brilliant idea of putting papers in sheet protectors for kids to trace. Leah has already dried out one expo marker since this morning. I'm going to need to limit how much she can play with it. I didn't want her to just scribble everywhere like she does with coloring books. So this morning I sat down and started tracing letters myself. She's a jealous soul when I don't invite her to play with me. It worked like a charm.
