Bentleighs shoot with Joe

OK this is just a quick post. I only have a few pictures back, but when I get the rest I will put them up!

Joe Daniels is a high fashion photographer in Salt Lake City. He will be moving to New York soon, on to bigger and better things! Until then he has decided to do some photo shoots with kids! I was so happy for Bentleigh to get a chance to work with him! I loved working with him before I was pregnant with Luhndyn! Anyway imagine a 2 year old without a nap, in the rain, with way too many spectators, lol thats about how it went...

My tiny baby isn't a tiny baby anymore :(

So I guess I have probably been avoiding writing this post! I should have done it about 3 weeks ago...

My little Luhndyn is 6, almost 7 months old already! I cant believe it! She is sitting up and rolling over and soon she will be crawling! We took her in for her 6 month check up and the Doc said she is tall for her age and a little under weight for her height, but nothing to worry about. Tall and skinny..who would of thought!

She has her two bottom teeth, and wants to eat anything she can get her hands on. So far we have not found ANYTHING that she doesn't like! She loves Bentleigh so much! She always laughs at her and wants to run and play with her so bad, I on the other hand, am in no hurry for that!

Here are a few pictures of our little princess, the past 6 months in a nutshell!

" Happy Birthday Daddy"

Tuesday was Jeffs birthday, we don't usually do anything too big for our birthdays, dinner, cards, whatever. Well Let me first tell you that Bentleigh LOVES birthdays, it doesn't matter who's birthday it is, she just likes to sing! So of course she sang to Jeff on Tuesday. Wednesday we woke up and from the get go she was talking about birthday cake for her daddy. I have the most persistent two year old ever! Not sure where she gets that from :) any way...I got the girls ready for the day, we went to lunch with my sister and my nieces, and then to the store to get this cake that she had been talking about all day. I figured we would just grab one of the little dinky cakes that they had sitting out and ask the nice lady to write happy birthday on it and be on our way. As we walk in the store, she spots a balloon, and freaks out. She has to get the balloon to go with the cake. SO now that she has the balloon in hand, we make our way to the bakery...and she start looking through all the cakes they have set out. After quite the deliberation, she picks the cake, the lady lets her pick the color of frosting and asks her what she should write on it. Bentleigh tells her " Happy Birthday Daddy" the lady looked at me like I was crazy! I told her to do what the two year old told her to do so we could get out of there! This is what we ended up with....

She was so proud of that cake! It was too cute!

After a few hours of PATIENTLY waiting, Jeff finally got home from work and Bentleigh greeted him with his balloon

Then Jeff caught a glance at his wonderful cake

Of course Bentleigh had to blow out the candles, after we sang again! She finished up with a big birthday hug, and then it was almost time for cake....

I had this great idea to take Luhndyns picture with the cake before we cut into it. I know I know, what was I thinking. Notice the hot pink ball of fluff smashed in between her fingers

in case you missed that let me give you a close up :(

And of course the classic " I didn't do it, I have no idea where the hot pink frosting came from that is all over my white dress" look.

So while we cleaned Luhndyn up...someone else decided it would be a great idea to color with that hot pink frosting

Never a dull moment at our house :)

New Years!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We rung in 2009 surrounded by friends and family! We had so much fun! The girls both made it to midnight, and well past! We hope everyone has a great year!!

I had to post this lol! This is what happens when Luhndyn stays up til midnight! I cant believe we caught this on camera! We couldn't stop Laughing. The poor thing is teething so she isn't feeling so great in the first place, but she was a trooper!

All of the kids went outside at midnight and ran through the snow with their noise makers, I had to hurry and get a few pictures and get miss Bentleigh, tinkerbell jamies and all, back in the house

OK so I made Jeff be the bad guy and bring her inside! He can reason with her much better then I can :)

Here is Lil Luhndyn at mid night! Wide awake!
