I put Carrigan in overalls. Gavin wanted to wear overalls. He REALLY wanted to wear overalls. Gavin never wants to wear them. He hates them. They give him a panic attack. That's why I put them back on the rack last weekend in the clothing store. So, I dug around and found this pair. Lucky for him, he fits in infant clothing, so he got to wear overalls too. Oddly enough, he looked cute in what looked like cropped overalls. :)

Then, Carrigan got hungry. When she is hungry, she is sensitive. Mommy told her not to to touch the dead dried up worm. The tears really weren't her fault. To fix the problem, we had a picnic. They are cute little picnickers.

She was so pleased, she even threw a goofy face my way. :) Love them.

Cuteness Overload

Saturday I took Gavin to Target and after trying on some clothes, we went into the toy isle. Of all the toys, he was fascinated with this doll. When you put a bottle to it's mouth, it's face, eyes and lips move like it's really sucking the bottle. It really does feel neat when holding the bottle! It also falls asleep, cries, laughs, says mama, and makes little baby noises. We decided to bring it home as a Happy 18 Months present for Carrigan. Both Gavin and Carrigan have been going nuts over the doll ever since we brought it home!

Looking Back

Today my gorgeous gal is 18 months old!! I have a detailed post in the works, but as I sit looking at pictures from a year ago, I can't resist posting pics of how much she has changed in the past year!

Heart Happy

Gavin: Mommy, your heart happy?

Me: My heart is very happy. Is your heart happy?

Gavin: Yeah, my heart happy. Carrigan's heart happy?

Me: Yes, Carrigan's heart is happy.

Gavin: Yeah, Carrigan happy. Mommy, Gavin, Carrigan heart happy.

Baby boy, you and Sister make my heart happy beyond my wildest dreams.

"Thank you God for Wishing Flowers"

This is a child who loves the simple things about life. Goodness, he is a little Angel on Earth.

Laferte Family Photos

When I was asked to take pictures for this family, I was super excited. I have known them for years. (and years and years) Our mothers also happen to be Best Friends. :) I felt so honored! I wanted to share a few of my favorites here on my blog. BTW: You can't find better well behaved kids than these! And aren't they cute!!

Ready... Set.. Splash!

If there is one thing my daughter isn't, it's boring.

(I couldn't decide which one I liked best)


"Hiiiiieee Dora. Hiiiieeee Dora." Here we have Carrigan's version of Gavin's Goofy Face. It isn't far off from her "I'm holding a grudge against you Mommy" face where she stops directly in front of me, gives me this face, then continues on with her day. :) Again, she is in no way "boring."
