Olivia and the Hat

Some of you may recall that Stacy and I met for the first time IRL as bloggy friends a couple of months ago and she made this adorable hat for me as I was her 10,000th comment on her blog. I could not wait to shoot my newborn in it. Without some elaborate location to take pictures at, or the gumption to get out and find one, we did with what we had. Our living room!

I apparently wasn't in a very vibrant processing mood today because I kinda liked all of the muted tones. But in any case, my littlest angel still shined. Thank you so much Stacy for the hat! I only wish I had one like this when Ella was a baby too!

A Tiny Bit of 4th of July

I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe 4th of July! We went up to the cabin over the weekend. It was wicked warm and humid so I didn't spend much time outside with Olivia. Her and I actually stayed only one night while Keith and Ella stayed 2 nights. I gave Olivia to my mom for the night and got to sleep my little heart out! Fireworks? Who cares when you can sleep?!! :0) Ella came home completely covered in bug bites and exhausted, but had a wonderful time. I'm hoping she sleeps in tomorrow....*Fingers crossed*....but not so likely. These are the few pictures I got of Olivia outside and one of Ella and her cousin Jack.





Its so wonderful the relationship Ella has with Jack. She has a little "boy"friend in the neighborhood that she plays with (remember the kiss?!), but when he doesn't want to do something or gets bored, he will roll his eyes and just go home. With Jack, they both accept each others eccentricities and help each other out. They have been together since babies (they are only 10 weeks apart) and they just accept each other for who they are. I absolutely love to see them together.
