I love my girl

This little girl and her bunny-lovey just woke up from a nice nap. Look at that sweet coy smile!







Lest you think that everything is sugar and spice, though, I implore you to check out this super short slideshow:




She made all of these faces in the span of about 2 minutes after getting up from her blessedly long nap. Nothing like those breaks to get a nice chance to miss her! Even if sometimes I do watch the slideshow over and over again while she's sleeping... It's like a cuteness sickness/ addiction.

I love her because she is so expressive, goofy, wife, talkative, sweet, willful, independent, curious, affectionate, smart, and beautiful. It's hard to find time and free hands to photograph her - but even harder not to, you know?

And here's a video of her when she was much tinier but still had a zillion faces going!

Aditi and Michael Engagements, sneak peek

Attention couples, if you're ever feeling nervous, a bit shy, or like you want to take the fun and cuteness of your photo shoot to the next level - by all means, please bring along your childhood stuffed animals/ "lovey"s! Could this possibly be any sweeter?! I loved this shoot :)

More soon...

Is it Spring yet?

Normally at this time of year, I take a lot of photos in our garden... of flowering fuit trees, sprouting veggie seedlings, beautiful spring and early summer sun. Well... things are a little different this year... for lots of reasons.

Mainly because a. it's been so gloomy and rainy and windy and cruddy out, and b. I have a cute little person to chase around!





(She can walk but still likes to scoot around on her booty like this, to maximize getting dirty: )





Yesterday we harvested some amazing cherries from the neighbor's tree... the branches hanging over our fence are fair game, right? I just can't stand to watch the crows get them all!





We don't need to water because of the incessant rains... yay? Sigh.













Symphony wants to go outside nevertheless... she points to the picture window to the outside and says "car! car! car!"... meaning, "I'm sick of being inside this house, and I've explored every nook and cranny of it, so please take me outside for heaven's sake!"





















So we have our little backyard adventures, and bide our time, waiting longingly for the summer sun...

Evan's First Birthday Party on On To Baby

Evan's first birthday celebration was featured on the Wedding Chicks' baby blog, On To Baby last week. What a cutie! His mom, Heidi of Spitfire Girl Design based the bright primary colored design for the backyard San Francisco party on his nursery and alphabet blocks. It was an amazingly beautiful day in SF, ina very cool old backyard in Noe Valley.































































So fun watching these babies grow up!
