Bath time

Kora really loves bath time & it's nice having my little helpers there to take pictures and help.

That one time I had my hair & makeup done

 

My super talented cousin Rosemary is a photographer extraordinaire.

When this busy lady/Mother of 6 asked to take my picture and I was very hesitant because I don't really take a lot of pictures of myself. As a Mom I think it's just the norm to fade into the background while your kids have fun and you document it all. It was fun to step out of that role & go meet up with Rosemary (minus all of our kiddos) and spend time talking while she did my hair & makeup.  I have never had this much makeup or hair product on in my life and I don't intended to ever again so I am glad I have pictures to prove that once I did get glammed up :)

 She still gets up about 4 times a night...not fun.

But, when I go in her room in the middle of the night wake ups she is soo happy to see me that it makes it not so bad.

 Anytime she has a headband on she rips it off and throws it.

 She loves water bottles & is a total chatterbox now.

 She is such a fun baby & growing way too fast.
