Myla Love

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like...

We made our 4th annual trip to Maple Row Tree Farm to chop down our tree. She's a beaut! I'll take a pic once she's completely decorated.

Too much Christmas cheer for Aldy!

Belated Halloween

Halloween was postponed not once but twice this year due to storms. In fact, it was the second year in a row that we trick-or-treated with some patches of snow left on the ground from a freak snowstorm. I think this is pretty unprecedented stuff- I wonder if it ever happened in my lifetime prior to this? Despite the delays, the kids had a great time.

Fall Fun at the Pumpkin Patch

We made our annual visit to Jones Family Farms to get pumpkins two weekends ago. The kids had a great time and Ben and I took full advantage of the plentiful photo opps'.

Myla's Birthday Pictures and One Year Portraits

 

 

 

Happy Birthday, Myla!

It's pretty ridiculous how little I've blogged this year. But, hey, I've been busy! So busy that I can't even believe it has been a year since baby Myla entered this world and brought so much to our lives.

Her newest tricks are waving, clapping and saying, "Hi!". She pulls up every chance she gets and cruises around with ease. She isn't walking unassisted yet, but is able to stand and balance without holding on. So, I think those first steps won't be too far off.

She'd definitely emerging into her own little person these days. I love you, Myla Josephine!
xoxoxo,
Mom

Here are some recent pictures of "Yiyo":

Pretty girl.

Funny girl.

Silly girl.

Myla's 6 Month Portraits

Here are a few shots from Myla's 6 month portrait session last month. She was photographed by my dear friend Jenn of Jennifer Anka Photography. It's always so hard to narrow down my favorite ones!

Up To Speed...

LANIE:

Lanie is having a great school year! She loves math and is an excellent reader and writer. On September 27, 2011 she lost her first tooth- her upper one that she had bumped 3 years ago. She is in her first year of dance and is now learning to play basketball.

November 2011- Family portrait session at Short Beach

October 2011- Pumpkin picking at Jones Family Farm

September 2011- Me and Lanie apple picking at Lyman Orchards

December 2011- Lanie's holiday dance recital, The Polar Express. She is in the back row on the far left.

ALDEN:

Alden is the coolest and funniest little guy. He just turned two in December and is talking so much now. It has been a big year for him– first trip to California in May, becoming a big brother in August, and mastering the flurry of developmental milestones for his age group- yet, in the great words of Theo Cosby, he "is taking it all in stride".

December 2011- Two year portrait

October 2011- Pumpkin picking at Jones Family Farm

December 15, 2011 - 2 years old!

February 2012 - Guitar Hero at Chuck E' Cheeses
