niner

pronounced: nine-er

that's how old the pea pod is today. nine months! i feel like nine is a milestone. maybe because they finally don't have to get shots at their check-up? except she does because we spaced a few out from the six months and flu fiasco... bummer. i'll remind myself of this sweet face tomorrow when she isn't quite as happy with me.
(jess we were just testing the purple tutu waters for pictures)


(notice the tongue? that's how you can find her pretty much any time of the day. she loves to rub the bottom of her tongue on top of her new little tooth. i'm sure it feels funny now.)



i know what you're thinking... the black background is getting boring. well people, winter is getting boring. i'm so ready for some outside pictures! these were quick before nap time yesterday... my creative brain has been sucked dry from this sinus infection that won't go away.



purple piper is so pretty, and perfect... ok i'll stop. more tongue action.



and you know big sis wanted her pictures taken too! she is my best helper.



i even still love her when she pouts... most of the time. little scraggle muffin.



but usually p's just attacking the camera.
