Mae's First Halloween

If you are looking for a photographer in Utah I would highly suggest Paxel Pics Photography she does some wonderful work, always has props and her prices are amazing.

But back to halloween...

I usually don't like this holiday. Even as a kid I didn't like dressing up, I always just wanted to be me. I remember being teased for not dressing up some years. This year I had no intentions of dressing up and didn't have a costume for Mae either. But last minute I decided it would be really fun to dress up together. $3 and 30 min later I had kitty cat costume ready for Mae and I and I have to admit I kind of love how they turned out. Simple, cheap and cute!

When Mae first saw me as a cat she bawled her face off and screamed and screamed until thankfully Taylor came home and helped her realize I was indeed still her mother and not a scary cat. We went to my husbands work party and ate lots of food and had fun playing with Mae crawl around and enjoying family time together.

Here are some photos that Pax took of us.

10 Months

This little girl is getting so hard to catch on camera these days. As shown in the photos crawling away as fast as she can!

I cannot believe my baby girl is already 10 months which means she is almost 1 years old. How did this happen!?

Mae has started copying noises and sounds we make to her. It is so fun to watch this little person interact with us. She loves to use her hand to make "blurble burble" noises. 

She loves when we hide under blankets, she always squeals and claps her hands. Clapping her hands is also a new talent of hers.

She is going through a little phase where she actually likes to cuddle every so often, not a ton but there are moments and boy are they magical! 

She loves to give me kisses, big wet messy ones that last for an awkward amount of time and I love almost every second of them haha. 

She still loves shoes, baby shoes, dad's shoes, but especially leather shoes. 

She is getting so good at walking around holding onto chairs or furniture, sadly it won't be long until she's walking I'm sure.

She still loves to be swaddled when she sleeps!

She is still just the sweetest girl!

Family Photos

 We are very blessed to know two wonderful photographers that were willing to take photos for us. I was more then happy with all of them and already have some hung in the house and want to hang more... our house will be a museum of pictures!

This set of photos was done by Paxelpics she is based out of Utah.

And these wondering photos were done by Esther Beazer Photography based out of  Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

9 Months

This little girl is getting so big and so curious, she is totally mama's girl she crawls around after me and whines at my feet. She loves chewing on shoes, and no I'm not describing my puppy I'm talking about my daughter!

She loves standing up on everything, walking along the coach or other things she it holding on to. 

She learned to crawl up stairs the first time she saw it.

She is eating a lot more solids.

She loves to growl really low until she start coughing, saying Da-Da, and spitting.

She has two little bottom teeth

Weighs 15 lbs

I turned 23 years old, and we also bought and moved into our very first home! Which we are loving, we have been here for two weeks now and it's been amazing.

Greek Inspired Headbands

I just released a new greek inspired line of headband in my etsy shop. They can all be found right HERE.

I'm just in love with how simple and stunning they look! I have told a lot considering they just hit the shop two days ago. So fun creating things that people love :)

8 Months

These months just keep flying by much to fast!

This month she has:

Learned to crawl on all four

Trying to pull herself up onto things

Actually started eating solids, she loves banana, pumpkin and mango. Hates sweet potato, is allergic to avocado, and refuses to eat green beans.

She loves crawling around and getting into power cords, eating random lint off the ground when I'm not looking.

She stills weighs just under 15 lbs and is wearing 3-6 month clothes.

7 Months

This little one had quite the month:

This last month has been a fun one, we took a trip to Montana and played with cousins and in the water. Mae is almost getting a hang of sitting up! She has even been getting on her knees to make crawling motions, and started doing the cutest little baby planks!

These past two weeks have also been sad though. I thought Mae was teething, she was fussy, feverish, not sleeping well, and coughing up mucus. It continued to get worse until she was wheezing for air and I finally realized she was really sick. I took her to the doctors right away and found out she had pneumonia and an ear infection. We stayed at the doctors for 2 hours getting treatments to help her lungs and to fight the infection. They sent us home with a breathing mask to be used every 4 hours day and night, which was very exhausting for both of us since she hated it. And both of us had been used to sleeping through the night lately. We also found out she has some medicine allergies! But even though she was so sick she kept smiling at us non stop. Seriously the happiest baby!! She could not catch a break but after 2 weeks of being sick she is finally getting better. 

She also learned to sit and starting scooting and half crawling all over the place. As you can tell in the following pictures she was on the move!!
