Back in February, Melody had her dance pictures made. This will be her last year in a combo type class. Next year she will have to start narrowing down what specific dance classes she wants to take (jazz, tap, ballet, etc.). Her teacher picked a fun and completely different costume this year compared to years before. And we did a high pony this year too. I really loved how this turned out!
Merry Christmas! I thought today would be a perfect day to share Melody’s Santa pictures from this year. She actually had two sets made.
Well I haven’t posted in a while. This was totally unintentionally, but it was a product of hosting Thanksgiving and prepping for Christmas. But things are looking slightly less busy, so I am hoping this is the first of many “catchup” blog posts coming your way. I mean I have so much I still haven’t posted over the last year alone. Not to mention all the things in the last month and month to come. So let’s jump right in!
So this post is over a year late. I actually found this in my drafts and could not believe I had not finished it. Just a bunch of pictures. So I wanted to share it finally!
Because this was our first full year of gymnastics, we experienced lots of new things. One of those was pictures. During the summer, pictures are not taken. Pictures were optional and you wore whatever leotard you wanted. I ended up getting both pictures because they were cute.
We recently had Melody’s Easter pictures taken for the year. She was actually really brave and wanted to take pictures with the baby lamb. Usually we opt for the baby chicks because they aren’t as scary to her, but she was determined to sit with the lamb. Luckily my cousins were there and had no fears. So she was able to warm up to the lamb through them! I thought the pictures turned out adorable!
About two weeks ago, we visited Santa. Melody was nervous but also so excited. Kindergarten has really brought out the bravery in Melody. My aunt got some great pictures of Melody with Santa. And she even spoke with him for about ten minutes afterwards all about what she wanted and his favorite cookies and candy.
Back in September, my aunt did a photoshoot at an old diner back in Florence. She had an opening, so Emily and I took the girls. We went vintage with blue jeans and white shirts. I think the pictures turned out adorable!
It has been a while since I have posted all of my new Silhouette Cameo projects. Over the last year, I have made a lot of shirts, some onesies, and a lot more things. Below are some of the things I have made that I haven’t already posted about within all of my other blog posts!
So while Melody turned 3 back in May, we are JUST now getting to taking her three year old pictures. But she is still so adorable, and she is still 3, ha!
For Mother’s Day this year, I decided to make both my mom and Brad’s mom homemade pictures frames. I bought a pack of wooden frames from Michael’s, and we used paint and brushes we already had at home!
I finally had Melody’s two year pictures taken about a month ago. Luckily it was a warm day since I bought her a yellow smocked dress to wear a year ago, ha! She did fairly well, and all of that is thanks to Brad and his crazy antics!
A month or so ago, we finally found time to get with my aunt who is a photographer and get some family pictures made. The setting was great for fall pictures; the weather was warm however! We survived our warm sweaters and were able to get some fairly decent pictures! Hopefully we won’t wait so long to take family pictures again.
When planning Melody's First Birthday Party, I almost forgot about having some sort of signage that actually said Happy Birthday! It finally hit me that I probably needed something somewhere. When planning out decor, I noticed that the wall above the cake was going to be empty aside from the lanterns I planned to hang and some balloons. So I decided to come up with something using my Silhouette Cameo.
Sunday was my first Mother's Day since having Melody. While we celebrated Mother's Day while I was pregnant, it was extra special to celebrate having Melody here.
So our local Chick-fil-A is doing a special today since it is May 4th aka Star Wars Day. If you wear Star Wars gear during prime lunch and dinner hours, you get a free entree per person.
Melody was eleven months old on April 25th! She has become mobile extremely quick, and she is truly into everything. She is super happy, and we are super blessed! Check out her pictures below.
We had Melody's Easter pictures done prior to Easter, but I wanted to share them with you all today. We took her to my aunt's sessions and she had a live baby lamb (so precious!). Happy Easter!!
Melody turned nine months old on February 25th. I took our regular nine month pictures of her myself, but our photographer (my aunt) also took some formal pictures. Below are the shots she was able to get!
Melody was ten months old on March 25. It is so hard to believe that! Time has truly flown by. I really can't believe my baby will be a toddler in less than two months! Cue the tears!
