They say the third time is a charm, well my session with Eva was certainly charmed.  She was the third beautiful baby to return to me this spring, 6 months after their newborn shoots, to show off her new skills.  She was so adorable and crazy strong.  She was sitting up like it was no big thing and she was excited to flaunt it!  She was all smiles and we were even able to capture a couple of her and big sister.  

I continue to be surprised by how quickly time passes when there are babies in your life.  It seems like just yesterday that I took Andrew's newborn photos and here we are already at his 6 Month photo session.  He was such a happy boy during our chilly morning session at the barn in downtown Ada.  It was clear that he was enjoying getting to be outside in the sunshine for one of the first times in his life!  I can't wait to see what he is up to  at his 1st birthday!

So anyone with a baby just thinking about crawling has seen this pose.  I will always love the "flying" that these little people do.  It never ceases to crack me up.

Of course, I made Mom & Dad jump in for one.  :)  

Well, I had this GREAT plan for Jayce's first birthday cake smash session.  Or so I thought... I went to the park, picked out a fabulous spot and started hanging these adorable paper fans in the trees to make his backdrop a little more festive.  Of course, the wind started to pick up and the fans were not looking as adorable as I thought, and then Jayce and his family arrived and he IMMEDIATELY hurried right over to the colorful toys hanging in the sky and promptly destroyed them like any small child would do.  You would think I would have seen that coming having two little tornadoes of my own at home.  Well, it made me laugh and I caught a few photos of his destruction before we got going on the REAL fun.

Jayce wasn't so sure WHAT he was supposed to do with this cake in front of him so big brother stepped in to help him out.  Seriously, it doesn't get any cuter than that.

So NOW it is all making sense!  He enjoyed a few nibbles of the delicious cake but he really LOVED demolishing it.

Oh, and did I mention Jayce is a Cinco de Mayo baby?!?  Look at this hat his parents brought along!  I love it and see a tradition in his future.  Happy Birthday sweet boy!
