I Edit... A LOT!

Being a mom keeps me busy, then you add on home maker, bill payer, wifey (ok baby momma), and photographer and my day never ends. Seriously, each day rolls into the next. I never feel like the house is cleaned, laundry is done and so on because all my free time is devoted to editing. But look at what I get to edit. The shooting is the easy part, the part I enjoy. Unfortunately the thing I hate is editing but really I love it because once I start I cannot stop. Its like art therapy for me. So here I edit and I just wanted to share how much editing I do. Check out all my recent editing HERE.

Oh the studio you ask... Someday I will do a post about the new studio. Maybe when it is finished and I am far from finished with it! I have been using it but it is not complete.

Pumpkin Patch With Grandpa

My dad came into town for a visit. He stayed for about two weeks and then I flew with him and the boys back to Seattle for 5 days. We are home now and have a lot of blogging to catch up on. So here is one of many posts to follow.

Born With A Little Pest Inside!

Above: Cooper

Above: Cohen

I thought that these were fun pictures. Cooper and Cohen in the same onesie. This onesie is one of my favorites so I love that I have a picture of both of them in it. Cohen's picture was taken at 10 days and Cooper's at 6 weeks. Although Cooper out weighs Cohen when you compare where Cohen was at at 8 weeks Cooper really isn't that big to me. I think he is just all CHEEKS. I keep hearing how much the boys look alike and I just DON"T see it. I especially do not see it here but you be the judge! Enjoy...

boys... videos

Chubba!

Went to the doctor today because Coop has a bad cold and Cohen needed to get his flu shot. Well... the cute chubby little baby that is in the picture below is nothing but little. 12 freakin pounds.... 95%. He is a big boy which means one thing in my book. He is healthy. Oh this time around has been so much different. A healthy baby = a happy baby and that is what I have. Don't get me wrong I loved every second with Cohen as a baby but he was a mess and I was always worrying about him and he was hard to settle but Coop, not being sick, shows me how it is suppose to be. Cries when he poops, cries when he is hungry, and when he is tired otherwise he is content. So I will take fat and happy over skinny and fussy any day!

Big Cheeks

My boys... not much to say except that Cooper had his one month check up at 5 weeks last week. This is how he measured up...

Weight: 11.3 lbs
Height: 22 in

He is in the 65%ish for weight and he is tall, cracking the 75% for height. He has some super chubby cheeks. How he stacks up to Cohen... well, not fare to compare. Cohen did not weigh 11.5 lbs until he was almost 12 weeks. So we are not comparing the two boys. Cohen was sick (although we did not know with what, until 7 months) and Cooper isn't. So to compare is not fare to either boys.

Cohen was sick all last week, as was our entire house. Cohen went to the doctor and he finally hit the thirty pound mark with diaper and shoes on of course but it is a good mark, one we thought would take him forever since he is so lean and such a picky eater. So congrats C, you made it to 30lbs before you turned 3! Cohen is 28 months and Cooper turns 6 weeks tomorrow so now you have their stats. We are not sick here anymore and things are moving as normal.

August Recap

So here we are at a month. Wow it has flown by. We are crazy busy around here but it is a great time in our lives. So much going on and so much to share. The fall is so perfect here in Arkansas. SEC Football, wonderful weather (still wearing shorts and tanks), and just being busy again with all fall offers. Enjoy the recap.

So Cooper turned a month yesterday. I know everyone says this but where did the time go? Feels like we have never not had Cooper! He is still one of the best babies I have ever been around. So easy going and rarely makes a peep.

So I said I would recap August. Here are pictures of our August before Cooper's arrival. My mom, dad and brother came to town the week before Cooper's arrival with my mom and dad staying for the week after as well. We all had a really good time and miss them all so much. Hurry back guys!

So while my parents were here and the weeks leading up to Cooper it was about 100 degrees so we pretty much spent everyday doing this...
