This little guy is 9 months old now. He wasn't super into the pictures this time due to being cold and just having woken up, so I think I'll try again soon so I can get some smiling pictures with his 8 cute little baby teeth.

Could only love this boy more if he slept through the night.

Happy Valentine's Day!

My cuties enjoyed the snow. They like it much more than I do! Judah's favorite snow activity is always eating it! And Silas even liked laying down and resting in it (for a few seconds).

"Snowflakes that stick to your nose and eyelashes."

Are you ready for Christmas? Cookies baked? Gifts purchased? And wrapped? Gingerbread house decorated? Stocking Stuffers ready to go? Christmas meal planned and groceries purchased? What do you still need to do before the big day?

What are your favorite Christmas traditions? Bonus points if you have a picture to share in the comments!

Elijah doesn't get quite as excited about picture time as Judah does, but he tolerates me. Ha ha.

Judah's "laughing all the way!" Every time I start setting up to take photos of Silas for his monthly updates, Judah runs to get "all handsome" - he picks out nice clothes and fixes his hair and even brushes his teeth - and then he tells me he's ready for pictures, too!

Santa, I mean Silas, is 7 months old today! He rolls around like crazy, sits on his own, babbles lots, and likes to shriek to "communicate." He loves trying new foods and always says something that sounds like "good" when eating. And we're super excited for his first Christmas!

At about a week and a half postpartum I got everything set up and spent about 4 hours taking photos of Silas. Hiring someone else to do it wasn't even an option because of COVID, but let's be honest, even if we had, I still would have done some of my own photos anyway. Ha ha. It was super exhausting, but I'm so glad I did it. Because in the moment it was difficult and frustrating and hard on my sore body, but now we always have these photos to look back at. These are just some of the many, many photos I took. Enjoy! : )

I cannot get over how handsome these boys are!

Laaaaaaate post of some of the Fresh 48 photos I took of Silas in the hospital after his birth in May 2020.

Pumpkin Patch Cuties! Our annual trip to Eckert's looked very different this year, but it was so nice to have a familiar traditional outing in all the craziness of this year.
