Happy 2nd Birthday, Liam!

Aloha! Liam turned two on August 7th. We threw a little family party for him a couple days before with a Hawaiian luau theme. Here are some shots from the party!

Hurray! I'm two!

The birthday boy on his tiki thrown.

Grandpa and Melissa brought this fierce watermelon to Liam's birthday party. What talent to have carved it freehand!

little bro, Christian, enjoying the party

I decided to make a pig roast cake for my son's birthday, you know, to fit the theme of his party. I wasn't able to fit the apple in it's mouth but it turned out cute anyway!

Homemade guac - thanks JW for the yummy new recipe!

Grandpa was relaxing in Hawaiian spirit, but what was Uncle Brett doing?

Our family of four (luau style)!

Mmmm...

Daddy looking all cute under the tiki hut.

Liam had his favorite dinner served for everyone- STEAK!

It was HOT. Watermelon hit the spot!

Though we moved everyone inside for cake and presents because the humidity was near unbearable that evening!

happy birthday to you...happy birthday to you...

(below) Liam got a ukulele for his birthday from us. Here he is rocking out on his actual birthday with it!

Christian & Liam

I have been so behind in my blogging! Here are some shots taken when Christian was 11 weeks old with Liam, shortly before he turned 2. There's no doubt that these brothers love each other already. :) 

 The boys have 3 different sets of "Little Bro" and "Big Bro" shirts...all were fantastic gifts from family & friends. We love them! They all happen to be different sizes, so every time Christian moves out of a size, we've got another one they can wear together!

Christian is 2 Months Old!

Our sweet little nugget is 2 months old today. Here he is yawning and getting a good stretch in on the beach in the early morning.

He has been cooing and babbling away now. He just loves to tell you all about it!

Summer days...

Liam enjoyed a fun evening with his uncle's bright orange body board on the beach. Summer days at the beach are great memories. Thanks, Uncle Brett!
Here he is mastering the art of the board... and playing his favorite game of "ker-plunk".

1 Month Old!

Oh, my sweet little butter ball of love... Christian turned 1 month old on June 18th, and boy, has he filled out since the day he was born! Where is the time going? He is such a sweetie and like his brother, he's a super-snuggle-bug. It doesn't get better than this! I love this little man. xoxo

Welcome, Baby D!

Welcome, little baby D! When family friends inquired about having me photograph their little guy months before he was born, I knew it would be tricky, since my little guy's due date was 10 days earlier than theirs, but I wanted to make it happen for them. We pulled off a mini-shoot and I am so happy I got to meet & photograph, little D. He's so beautiful! My little Christian slept in his swing throughout the shoot and Liam was with Daddy at music class for most of the time, so we made it work! Thanks, S, for keeping Liam entertained towards the end of the visit- he enjoyed having you here! Congrats, S & D on a gorgeous baby boy! <3

 This blanket was D's father's baby blanket - I LOVE the sentimentality!
