Elizabeth is 8 months and Zachary is 3 1/2!

Elizabeth is 8 months!

Lizzy loves to scream and squeal. I am sure she thinks it is singing. She is doing better at eating food. She loves to have pieces of the the cuties (baby oranges) making a terrible mess and smiling the whole time. Lizzy's favorite game is patty cake. While I was doing the pictures she was happily clapping her hands and so excited to play her favorite game. Elizabeth's hair is coming in thicker and more red every day. When she sleeps she likes to be on her back with her lovey up against her cheek. She started waking up at 3 am wanting to nurse again. I don't like missing out on sleep, but her sweet face and the chance to cuddle makes up for it. 

 

 I  often get asked if I think she will stay a red head. I answer that she has red in her eyebrows and in her eyelashes. All evidence points to her being a very red headed little girl. I love this close up of her little details including her chin.

 

She has this chair in her room most of the time and was so excited to sit on it the other day. She is such a big girl!

It was just a few days before December so I took a moment to do some fun Chrstmasy shots. She is a great baby to put up with all the outfits changes. A day might come that she will read this and hate her chubby thighs, but I love this image of her rolls in her thighs, ankles and knees.

  Zachary is a very happy and busy 3 1/2 year old boy! His favorite thing to do is read books especially books about Mickey Mouse. He loves puzzles (real and on the ipad) and riding his bike. He has lots of friends and cousins he loves to play with. His favorite game to play with them is trains and wrestling. When he grows up he wants to be a Daddy (more specifically a Doug Daddy). His favorite animal is Everyone. He is a lover not a fighter this kid says Every body and Everything to a lot of questions.

 There is never a dull moment with these two cute kids around!

 Lizzy in her Christmas best!

 Zachary loves to hold "his baby" and help with Lizzy. He was thrilled to be in a picture with her and put his arm around her. Not a day goes by that he doesn't tell me to "Take our picture Mom! We are so cute." I agree!
