Spring is in the air...

One can certainly tell by the way things are getting greener, and the fact that we're seeing fewer and fewer "chilly" days, that spring is here. These pictures were taken on March 15th. Many times I'd seen pictures of babies sitting in flower pots, and I knew that when I had a little girl, I wanted to do the same with her. I'd found the flower headband, and all I needed was the pot, which my mom was able to provide. At the time of the photo, Ayla was still at the stage where she wasn't quite sure what was on her head and that she even had the ability to remove it. Since then, she became quite interested first in the hats my parents would wear. My dad would let her take his hat off, and then he'd put it on her and she'd quickly remove it. Since then, she's become a lot less naive about the articles placed on her head. :+] Since it was also close to St. Patrick's Day (also Ayla's Grandpa Ken's birthday) and Easter, I'd also picked up a shamrock headband, and my mom and Sarah brought me the bunny ears one afternoon. The weather was relatively warm that "picture day," and she was quite patient with me. :+]

I think at this point she finally became curious as to what she was sitting in. :+]


This is a smile/smirk she does often. It looks so ornery to me.

I really love these close-up shots. :+]

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Because we've not taken many pictures of Ayla and Baylie together, we decided to pull Baylie over to see if we could capture a moment. This picture shows clearly why we try to keep Baylie at least a "tongue's distance" away from Ayla. Ayla has learned to anticipate the licks and gets prepared before Baylie's tongue even makes it to her. :+}
Brett was talking to both of them, which made for a great shot of both!
