i have taken so many photos the last two days ... that i almost don't know where to start in showing them off. lol! i havn't had my camera out for a while to be honest. but yesterday, the girls were getting haley all prettied up ... and i had to get some photos of her because she was just looking so darn cute. so i guess i'll start with her!
you'd almost think we planned this outfit. lol! the beads ... all the kids LOVE those beads and wear them all the time. and the colors just happen to match her little outfit perfectly! the girls had pulled her hair up in a little ponytail ... and put some clips in the side. and the glasses ... they didn't stay on long ... but they were cute while they lasted.
is it me ... or does she look so much older all of the sudden?!?! she's a few months shy of turning 2 years old ... seems like just yesterday that i was making her bottles. lol! and now she walks around calling our names all day ... and asking tons of questions over and over ... and having conversations with us. we love it! i really hope she knows that she means the world to me ... to all of us.
for better picture taking ... i took her in the front yard. she wasn't big on it. she really had a hard time looking at ME ... although she's always been that way with my camera. lol! and i also think she thought we were going someone ... like actually going in the car and leaving. and we weren't. lol! she had a play cell phone with her ... and i think she was calling for help ... for someone to rescue her from me and my camera!
i was at the side of the house for a minute checking something. i think she was checking to see if the coast was clear. lol!
and then ... for whatever reason .. she laid right down on the porch by the front door. i love when kids do that ... because i simply walk over and stand directly above them for a few last photos. they have no where to go ... and i usually get a good one in the process!
more to come tomorrow. and maybe the next day. i would show you some scrapping goodness ... but that would require me actually finding time to scrapbook! lol! so you'll have to settle for the photos for now!
she is so darn adorable! I will have to take my camera out again too!!

Hi Laura
What gorgeous photos of a beautiful wee girl! I just wanted to write and say thank you so much for picking my layout as a winner in the Celebrity Challenge at www.sketchbooknz.com . (Sorry I haven't written earlier, but both my daughter and I have been very sick for nearly a week now, and I just haven't had the inclination nor the time to get on my computer!) I was so pleased at winning; I have never won a prize for scrapbooking before; in fact, I have only recently started posting my layouts online, so you have definitely made me want to get involved with online scrapping more often. Thanks for being a part of our down-under website, and I really enjoyed your challenge.
Cheers, Tracy le Roy.

What a gorgeous wee girl! Awesome photos! Do you alter the original photos at all ie lighten and what type of camera do you have? If so what program do you use? These pics are soo crisp and clear and the colours are amazing! I want to get more into my photography and I love the way your shots come out!

Love the pictures --- those necklaces are almost as long as she is tall.
Hope you find time to scrapbook soon.
