18 Months

Crazy how quickly the last year and a half has gone by.
I cannot believe how tall Amalia has gotten.
 And beautiful.
 And Funny.
 And Smart.

Every where we go everyone is obsessed with, yep you guessed it!
                                 Her Curls!
Literally people all over the world are obsessed with them.
Second is her eyes. Her see through your soul eyes.

She is very shy with people and hides her face and giggles when people try to talk to her or stare at her (which happens frequently... as soon as we step outside our door.)

At home is a completely different story!
She loves to watch The Little Mermaid and sing with Ariel.
She loves loves loves playing with Kaiden and Ethan.
And she is a party animal!  If music is playing, she will be laughing and dancing.
She copies everything that I do and she loves helping me cook and clean.
Best of all, she is almost completely potty trained!
I know everyone said boys were harder than girls, but this happened sooner than I expected.

She still naps in my arms daily, but I have finally weaned her (yes, she only stopped at 17 month, longer than I expected but at least I know I gave her the healthiest start possible).

Overall I am obsessed with her.  We are best friends and we are all so lucky to have this crazy, fun, happy, sweet, troublesome little pitter patter feet running around the house spreading her joy.

Mr. and Mrs. John Benham!!!

This is the moment we have both been waiting for for years! It was perfection. Nothing short of magical. We had quite a bit of time after getting ready, there were so many emotions, so happy I laughed, so happy I cried. I love these photos and am so happy that every moment was captured.  Can't wait to see the professional ones!                                 Waiting for the go ahead                                         It's time!!                              Everyone ready t...

No Rest For The Weary

Yesterday was sweet and sad, and maybe a bit boring. Amalia woke up with a fever and insisted on sleeping right on top of me on and off all day. Even though she was sick, and I did feel a bit cruel and selfish, I pulled out my camera and got to clicking. I simply won't give her a break! But it was worth it.   Look how sweet and peaceful she looked only an hour before she threw up on me. She is the prettiest little girl and oh so sweet.   I love photographing her. She still has a bit of a temperature today so it seems I am back on "pamper the baby even more than normal" duty. My job is to lay on the couch and be her bed, her comfort, and anything else she may need. And today I will give her a break from her modeling duties. I have the best job in the world. I love my kids.

Long Awaited

Ethan has had the typical "little brother" problems. A huge one being that he has been going to all Kaidens scouting activities for 2 years and couldn't participate. Being the observer of your bigger brother having fun... not so much fun. Then we had the move to Dubai, so what should've been his first year, wasn't. He was so excited and was all smiles at his very first scouting event where he could participate! I can't get over how cute and official he looked in his uniform. He took every belt loop he earned extremely seriously. It's also weird to see Kaiden in his webelo uniform, I always saw it as for the "bigger boys". I guess my little Kaiden is one of the big boys now.
