sweet little a.

and just like that another month has gone by and our sweet little andie is now 13 months old.

13 months old and as sweet as can possibly be.

The most frequent things said about you sweet girl, by others:

"the most beautiful dark hair"

"so much hair - it is gorgeous!"

"looks just like a doll"

"that little round doll face is the sweetest!"

"she should be doing baby ads" 

"the calmest baby ever"

"does she ever fuss or cry?" 

"the best little baby butt ever"

"she is so quiet and so sweet"

"always so happy"

"want to squeeze you and kiss you all day long"

We get the sweetest compliments about you all the time.

I mean, look at this absolutely stunning little face. 

You are perfection in our eyes sweet girl.
Such a beautiful girl, with such a beautiful soul.
xoxo.

surrounded.

 pretty shoes, colorful leggings, beautiful bows, dainty flowers, rosy little cheeks, all things pink and glamorous...there is just no way around it - Todd is surrounded by girls. :)
....and he loves it!
We know he would have it no other way, and when asked by a friend if he had one more what would he want - "i think another girl" comes from his sweet smiling face.

Pink bows, braids and pretty shoes (that can be hard to put on) are all he knows.

...in 8 years he may be regretting the idea of being surrounded by girls.
the picture below of our 4 year old may explain why :)

She is four!  I was behind the camera getting shots of Andie and little did I know that this was the pose and face this girl was giving the camera.  My goodness, natural little model.  

one more of Andie with her mama.  girls rule! ;)

Speaking of girls - we got to hold a brand new one today!  Nothing better than a little peanut in your arms only a few hours old.  Oh so sweet!  Here is sweet little Hayley (belonging to Heather and Luke) and some of her friends.

I swear we were all way more excited to meet this little lady than the kiddos look in this picture! 

Welcome to the world sweet girl!  You are already so loved.

blowing kisses.

blowing kisses...her favorite thing.

We put daddy behind the camera for this one!  He did pretty well with me shouting out a million different directions - good thing you can't see my face. :)
I ordered these matching leggings from Grandma when Quinn was born, finally used them!

girlies.

In June, I was able to take this gorgeous date with me to my cousin Katie and her husband Mark's wedding ceremony.

My sister and I had a little selfie fun at a wedding later in June (Kimmi and Joey's).

In June we also had fun celebrating my Mom's 60th birthday with a girls night out.  It was a great night with a wonderful group of ladies.

A night out with my girlfriends - celebrating a little girl to be born soon (Heather's).

Fun taking some Maternity shots with some of my favorite girlies.

I'll get some more of these beautiful mamas up on the photography page soon.

and cupcakes and tea with my absolute favorite girlies of all.

*sidenote - thank you to Todd/daddy for his assistance with our tea party shoot. :)  and for being my date for two fun weddings this June (we need to take more pictures of us babe).

little baby shakes.

Have we ever mentioned that Andie shakes when she gets excited? :)
We better get that little tidbit into the blog books!

For probably about 8 months of her life she shakes when she gets excited.  It is adorable.  One thing she shakes the most about - seeing other babies.  So stinkin' cute.
