ALICE IN WONDERLAND

I had an Alive in Wonderland theme birthday shoot yesterday and I wanted to get more use out of what I had set up. I asked Aubrey if I could take some photos of her and Harper dressed up as Alice and the Mad Hatter but Aubrey was not interested.

While out shopping we came across a "Madeline Hatter" costume which she loved so it became her birthday present/Halloween costume/Birthday party theme. Win for everyone!

We have now decided to do a Mad Hatter tea party for her birthday and I'll use these for her invites.

18 MONTHS

Today Harper is 18 months old!

She is climbing EVERYTHING, dances to all music, loves books and fine motor playing.

She doesn't walk, she runs. She LOVES dogs and bike rides.

She pretty much eats everything but her favorites right now are granola bars, all fruit and chicken.

 I was getting ready for a shoot today and she went and sat in the wagon so I had to send Jared in to get my camera and take advantage as she hardly sits still!

This afternoon it was warm and she was messy from eating so I took her outside to play in a tub!

THIS KID

Sometimes I'm crazy enough to take photos for people without a babysitter - now it's usually only for 15 min quick mini shoots. I ask myself - "why?" every time! They are always crazy and it's pretty stressful. The other day I finished photos and turned around to see her dressed up in my 12-18 month bomber jacket and hat! It was pretty funny and I made her pose for a quick photo.
