J's 2nd Year - Part 2

And with this post, the blog will be up to date. Who wants to take bets on how well I keep up with it?

In the last post we came to the end of 2011. So we will pick up with 2012! The first pictures I have a from a trip to the park in February (what do you know... pics of something other than a holiday!). I just love these photos. Something about the colors and the joy on her face just makes my heart melt. 

Next up... the unofficial first haircut. Since we only cut the rat tail, we are still holding out that Aunt Amanda will give her her first official all over haircut (that is if she would ever come to visit us!). But nonetheless, we document the occasion. Boy was Mommy glad to see that rat tail go!

Also in March, St. Patty's Day. J is so tiny that she was able to wear the same dress from 2011 (see a comparison in this blog post from the HootyCutie blog). Which was great because I loved this dress on her. And she wore an actual bow clipped to her hair for the first time. Huge milestone I tell ya!

On to her second trip to Disney. In April Shane had a conference in Orlando, and one of the beauties of being a stay at home... J and I went with him. The day we got there we went to downtown Disney and J loved running around there. Later in the week, my mom (J's Mimi) came up and we took J to Disney (Epcot and Animal Kingdom). We ended the trip by taking her to the T-Rex restaurant at Downtown Disney and she LOVED it. It was a wonderful trip! You can read more about the specifics in this blog post from the HootyCutie blog, but here are some of my favorite pics from the trip. 

Next up is Easter. These are some of my favorite shoots. She was having a very off day and cried for most of the day. But what I love about them is that she is pushing through the tears and collect those eggs. It was priceless. And in spite of her emotional tribulations, we did manage to get in a smile or two and overall the day was wonderful.

And guess what... the blog is caught up! You can check out my post about the 4th of July here. That brings us to August. I plan to finally share here 2nd year photo shoot here on the blog tomorrow. We are gearing up for her birthday party this weekend, so I will be sure to share that with you as well. Ta-ta for now!
