Better late than never...

 Stella's 4 month photos

Baby Friends

Stella spent Saturday afternoon meeting her future best friends (aka my best friend's children)

On the Move

Yeah, so this is happening now ;)

Play Ball!

I couldn't stop laughing at this scene today.  Both Stella & Barkley wanted to play with their balls with me... Can't wait for her to grow big enough so they can play together :)

I'm Only Sleeping

Little Miss isn't sleeping so great at night, so this is a regular scene around our house.  Sleep when the baby sleeps... :)

Gramma Love

Will you be my V-A-L-E-N-T-I-N-E?

If you will you'll surely know how happy I will be!

Although from the following photos, you will notice that it doesn't appear it is me that Stella wants to be her valentine!

Early Spring

After a stressful night performing his duties as Nurse Barkley to Stella, he sits quitely enjoying the snow fall.  

Enjoy it while you can buddy.  Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow this morning, and per the news, he is never wrong, which means early spring!

They say it's your birthday...

Here he sleeps.  My now 2 year old English Bulldog.  Seriously, he sleeps so much, I am totally coming back as him in my next life.  His birthday gift is that I am home with him for the day.  Stella is sick (shocking I know) with bronchitis, so we will all be spending the day together.  Happy birthday buddy!  You enjoy those naps today :)

Snow Day!

Were all home today on this lovely snow day, staying warm and dry.  Though this isn't the best photo technically speaking, I love it because you can really see the love they share.  Stella has discovered her Daddy and for now, Mama is not that big a deal.  I'm ok with that, especially if I keep getting to experience moments like this one.

Stayin' Warm

Loving being snuggled up to a heated blanket

The Key to a Full Night's Sleep

*Full night's sleep meaning until 5:45am, but hey, I'll take it!

This one loves her baths.  Last night we began a strict bedtime routine in the hopes that she would stop waking up every 2-3 hours.  Success!  Now, I hope she keeps this slumber party going every night!

Thursday is the best day

Thursday's I'm home and this is who I get to spend the whole day with uninterrupted.  We play and for a few minutes she let's me practice my newborn photography before she gets mad.  

Baby New Year

Happy New Year everyone!  I'm guessing that in the future, Stella will kill me for posting all of these nude baby pics online, so here are a few clothed ones :)

Here Comes the Sun

Slackin'

So I've noticed I've really been slacking on my posts to this photo blog.  Reason being that I have been working a lot more on photo shoots and editing for clients.  Check out some of the stuff I've been working on at www.eschmidtphotography.com
