Rocco's 9 Months

We have this stud in our house, his name is Rocco, and he is now 9 months old!  

We went with a half attempt of Valentine's Day themed photos but when we started to get red lipstick EVERYWHERE I threw it out the window and got the lollipop out, but then (you guessed it...) it was EVERYWHERE. Chucked the lolli and wiped away a few tears, and went back at it.  Photographing your own child is ridiculously hard! 

He is also wearing red for Marfan Syndrome awareness month coming up in February.  Just a couple of days away.

Delaware Tree Farm Family Session - Carrow Family

Cheers to one more tree farm session! The Carrow Family.  They were so easy to photograph which of course made it hard for me to pick the "best" ones.  They had so many! 

The Carrow family is made up of Harvey (Dad), Pam (Mom), Amber, and Mike. Pam brought along a cherished blanket that was given to her as a little girl from her Pop Pop.  It holds a great amount of sentimental value to her as whenever she needed her Pop Pop (who deceased shortly after giving her the blanket) would just wrap herself in the blanket to know he was there with her.  It is such a beautiful blanket!   The red is magnificently bright and I loved being able to showcase its beauty in the photos. 

Love the look of love on Pam's face.  Her children are her everything.

Amber you are sooooo gorgeous.

 Hey blue eyes...

And then the sun was beginning to set...

 Love. this. photo.

HAPPY GENES

 A beautiful photo to end their beautiful session.

Thank you for sharing your family with me! I hope you all enjoy these photos for a long time to come. And I hope who ever you were surprising them with loves them as much as I do.

Happy New Year & Rocco's 8 months

Happy New Year 2014!!

With the new year we bring along a mouthy 8 month old.

About me...

20 lbs

30"

3 teeth (2 bottom, 1 top)

Says mama & baba consistently 

Shows off at the dinner table to his Lolo and his cousin Jared. 

Flips the light switch off in his bedroom when we leave the room.

Mastered a fake choke, cough sound. (He's dramatic like his daddy)

Gets up on his knees and plays.  Getting close to crawling. 

And he is even trying to pull up to standing position using the couch.

Hugs mommy tight when she is using the food processor.

Loves...

Baths. Squeals and wiggles his naked little body 

out of our arms to get in the tub.

 Drinking from his new sippy cups with the straw

Yelling

To play airplane with his Lolo, riding his new horsey his Lola got him for Christmas,

playing with Daddy, and hugging his Mommy at night.

Food! Wants whatever we are eating. You can't get anything passed him. 

But we still feed him a lot of his baby foods and don't give him too much of what we are eating yet.  Maybe soon though. 

 Our little ornery stud muffin

 His little smirk

We had an amazing holiday at home with family.  Rocco really seemed to enjoy opening presents and playing with his new toys.   We had a truly special first Christmas with him. He was amazing even with only a few naps in between.  He just loves everyone fussing over him.

This little boy is proving to be quite a little character. He watches everything we do, so I'm guessing now would be a good time to watch what we do too.  Can't wait to see what the upcoming months in 2014 bring.  We just hope for good health and happiness!!
