Charley had her 2 month appointment today, along with her shots. I cried more than she. Not lying. Not even a little bit. Charley cried for 10 seconds only because I think she was scared that I was holding her arms.  Hubby kind of made fun of me. She weighs 12lbs, 6oz and is 23 inches long. My big girl.  Now I know what to expect in 2 months!

Leftovers. Yum.

My Girl is 2 Months!

Wednesday sessions have become a weekly thing here with Charley. I bought her this cute tutu the other day, and I haven't played with my back drops yet with her. Plus today is her 2 month birthday! I can't believe she is 2 months already. My girl is getting so big way too quick. Stop growing! Here are my favorites from today. I also played with Picasa a bit to make them a little fun.

I love this one. I think I am going to print it large and put it in her room. I love the pop of pink against the white.  

Thanks for reading!

This looks gross, but it's just the dinner that I cooked. We didn't have the correct pan so I thought (with all my cooking knowledge) that I could use a different size pan and it would still cook. Nope. Hubby didn't feel like eating raw chicken for dinner so it sadly went into the trash. Sad.

I took a walk to a neighbors house with Charley and when I came back, she was sound asleep. She loves being warm and cozy so I just left her in her suit. She was out cold for 45 minutes like that, smiling in her sleep. Apple of my eye :-)

Hubby makes the best breakfasts. And notice is a little muzzle in the top left corner. He's so smashy :-)

Breakfast for Dinner - Chocolate Chip Pancakes YUMMMMY! 

My Little One

So I had a few things on my list of things to do today - laundry, vacuum, photoshoot with Charley, bath for Charley, clean off my dresser, snuggle with Charley, play with Finn in the snow, among all the other stuff I need to do.  Things that got done:

Laundry -- at 4, waaaaaay later than intended

Photoshoot

Bath (actually 2)

Snuggles

It is like -48* here today (ok, slight exaggeration) so playtime will be another day.  Snuggles are so much more important than a clean dresser. I should have waited for the bath, because girlfriend made her daddy proud again with a nice full diaper. At least she smells awesome now. 

Our condo is not big at all, and Hubby works in the living room so there isn't much room to work with. I like to stay in our bedroom or her bedroom because the light is just right from 1 - 3ish this time of the year. Plus I can lock the pooch out. He is into EVERYTHING and its "FINN! Stop! Finn, go away. Finn EASY!"

My girl is getting so big! She will be 2 months next Wednesday. Time really does fly.  We set up shop right on my bed. I flipped the duvet over to the white side, and just laid her down up against the head board. I'm a big fan of simplicity for baby's photo's. I think these came out great. 

My neighbors gave her this chair for our shower and I LOVE it. I should have taken her 1 month photo on it, and continued each month. I'm just going to do it from here on out. So cute!

So it's snowing again here in Boston. They are forecasting 8 - 12 inches for my area. They have already cancelled school. My sister is pumped. She's a teacher. I love the snow. My mom tells me it's because I don't have to ever go anywhere in it. But even when I did have to commute, I still loved it. Anyways, it is really starting to come down and sticking. The first picture was taken at 4:00, second at 4:15 and the third at 4:40. There isn't much difference between the first 2 but the third one you can see it is starting to stick. Depending on how cold it is tomorrow, I may bundle my bundle up and take her out for a quick photo shoot. Probably not though.

This is what we did all day and it was great. Charley is quickly becoming accustomed to our lazy days. Finn is an old pro at laying around already. Who doesn't love a lazy day? Hubby said that both the dog and the baby were snoring in his ear. Come on, is there anything better?

I've also started to really love the whole collage thing that I have done a few times. Picassa is so easy when it comes to simple things like that.

Our Melrose Place (that's what we call our fabulous neighbors) Peeps get together almost every Sunday and more often than not, we cook a great meal. Last night was Turkey, Ham and all the great yumminess that go along with it. The bottom picture are Funfetti Brownies. Seriously.

Sad Face for the Patriot's losing. Here we go Bruins!

So the lighting totally stinks in this because there is only one lamp in her room, and it was after dark. I'm still acquiring the needed lighting items for a great shot in this case. Until then, I just play with the flash, editing and all that jazz.

Sorry, I missed yesterday. Today's isn't a great picture at all, but it totally shows the personality of my pup. 

Hubby and I were talking and he looked over and if he could talk he would have said "guys, cool it. I'm trying to get some beauty sleep. If you need me, I'll be draped over the arm of the couch. Thanks."

That's my Finn!

Fun with Charley and some Headwear

This afternoon I was prepping my girl for her bath and she was just so happy when she was down to her diaper sooooo I took full advantage. I put together the most makeshift area to shoot. I wish I took a picture of how much of a hot mess it was.

I tossed the duvet cover over to the white side, threw a throw down, grabbed the Boppy Pillow and a big box to put behind it and locked the dog out. As much as I love him, he is just such a ham and wants to be in every picture! 

Charley has started to respond so well to us and laughs and coos when we talk to her. I can't believe she is going to be 7 weeks on Friday. Where does the time go?!

Anyways, here are my favorites from today. There will definitely be more where this came from. She is just too cute not to photograph. 

I couldn't decide if I liked this one better in color or black and white. Thoughts?

She better get used to this. :-)

I hung out with this little lady today. She sat still long enough for her nails to dry. Sophia The First nail polish. Don't be jealous.

This may be the second bath of the day for Charley because her bowel movements are that of a grown man.  Daddy is proud.

This frame was a given to my mom as a gift after Little Charley was born. And the picture in it was the first Foley Family Foto. One of the nurses took Hubby's phone and told us how to pose and she snapped this fantastic picture. Love. Love. Love.

Because all I seem to do is feed Baby, pump (TMI), clean, sanitize, repeat. At least these Grass and Flower drying things are adorable on the counter.

For those of you who know me, know I don't cook that much. This might be from a box, but it's something. And now now house smell delish! And I know this is really 3 pictures. So sue me. 

And I just realized that I put 2013 on yesterday's post. Oops!

My bed was made when I left the room. When I came back, My Finnegan had made his own little bed. Love that dog. 

New Year, New Goals!

Hi Everyone! Hopefully everyone enjoyed a fabulous New Year! I was asleep by 12:15 and it was great. Oh have things changed, considering the last 2 years I may or may not have been up past 3am then continued the celebration after a couple hours of sleep with Mimosas and Bloody Mary's. This year consisted of 1.5 glasses of wine over 4 hours and bottles for My Charley and then coffee 3 hours later. And I wouldn't change any of it for the world. 

This year I have a few goals to set for myself. I will get into some of them later on but one is going to be a picture a day for the entire year. Project 365 will be hard to do every day but I know it will help me further my ability and confidence. Obviously I have a great new model now too.

This is from the ONE photo shoot I have done with her. I'm a slacking mama! Until now. 

I will be ready to do Family Sessions pretty soon too. Well actually I am ready. I'm just not ready to leave my little lady just yet. That's normal right? I mean, she's only 5 week old (tomorrow). Holy Moly I can't believe she's already 5 weeks. Ok, this blog isn't about Charley, I'll stop now. 

Be sure to check in tomorrow for my first picture for Project 365!
