Family Pictures

so cody had mentioned at one point that he thought we should get a good camera to take pictures.  i wasn't really thrilled about the idea.  it's one more thing to carry around, and i already have a three year old and a baby to worry about.  so i thought we were done with the camera talk.  while i was gone cody got a camera and all the fixins to go with it.  i was a little surprised, and if i'm being honest upset.  but i got over it real quick.  especially after i saw the awesome pictures that he took of our girls and of us!

i wanted a picture of the girls in their christmas dresses.  izzy's dress is the one that mae wore her second christmas, and i loved it so much i wanted izzy to wear it.  so, i went on a hunt to find a dress for mae that matched.  and my mom and i found the cutest dress for her!

this little girl.  my three toothed monster.  she's a smiley baby for the most part.  but she can get fussy real quick if she see's mama and mama doesn't hold her!  she's crawling and getting into everything.  she's starting to wave and clap.  she stands pretty well, but it's hard for her with those chicken legs and itty bitty feet!

i feel like she's been a baby for so much longer than mae was.  but maybe that's because mae was walking by 9 1/2 months.  she didn't want to be carried everywhere like izzy.

cody took thanksgiving week off, so we decided to attempt some family pictures while he was home.  we headed downtown to some of our favorite murals.  

the tripod worked out really well!  and we met some nice homeless people along the way, who all commented on mae's hair.

 next stop was south congress (one of our favorite spots) and cody snapped some great pictures of mae along our walk.

 this kid.  she's a happy girl...when she isn't sassy.  i feel like once she turned three she became this sass master.  and everything is so dramatic.  i didn't know people could produce tears as quickly as she does.  but, when she's happy she is my tender hearted little helper.  love her to pieces.
