New Toothbrush

I got a new toothbrush that I love!  Tarcil is jealous.  Haha!  :)

It's a Big World

Tarcil was peering out of our bedroom window watching the people outside as they worked to cut up a tree that fell in the neighbors' yard.  He is so curious about the big world outside.  :)

Kate and Derek

Today is the day that Kate and Derek are getting married!!  I can't wait to celebrate the start to their new life together while I am with them taking pictures!!  I have known Kate my entire life, and it has been a joy getting to know Derek!  Tarcil wanted to join me in saying Congratulations Kate and Derek!  :)

Hi there!

Tarcil loves running under the blankets.  Occasionally he pops his head out to say hi!  :)  Penny isn't sure if she should be chasing him or just ignore him.  Being true to her lazy self, she always just stares at him.  Haha :)

Falling Asleep

This is a throw back to one night this past winter when Tarcil fell asleep in my lap.  :)

Moto 360

My husband has the Moto 360.  This smart watch is the newest technology he has, and he really loves it!  He got it as a "congratulations for getting through your first year at your new job" gift.  Tarcil wanted to see if he was cool enough for a smart watch.  I think he just needs to stick to being cute and furry.  :)

CDYC Shirts

CDYC stands for Central District Youth Conference, and I used to go to it every year.  This year has been the first year in a while that I haven't gone, and it feels weird to me to be missing out on it.  I pulled out the 4 most recent tee shirts I got from attending this conference.  Tarcil loves snuggling into anything soft, like my CDYC shirts.  :)

Penguin

Tarcil seemed unsure what to think of this soft penguin with a bright red scarf... He looked at me as if to say "Um... what is it???"

Utensils

I found a hamster in my kitchen utensils!!  Hahaha!  My little Tarcil is loving his "tour" of the kitchen.  Maybe I can convince him to help me with the cooking... Haha.  I don't think his tiny little paws could be much help, and he would probably just eat everything anyways.  :)

Spices

Tarcil is continuing his exploration of the kitchen.  Today he discovered this wonderful vintage spice cupboard that I received from my husband's grandma.  I love its design!  The little glass bottles still have real spices in them!

This is the spice rack I got from my bridal shower and the one that I use all the time!  I love spices!!  :)

Cupcake Time!

Today is my Father-in-law's birthday!  Happy Birthday Bob!  :)

Tarcil wants to help me make cupcakes for our celebration...  But I don't think I want his help.  Haha :)

Fresh Veggie Day

Today is Fresh Veggie Day so Tarcil is being a good example by eating his carrots!!  He loves his veggies so much!  :)

Vase

I seriously have an obsession with putting Tarcil into random objects.  I am always curious how he will respond to a new space.  When I put him in this vase, I seriously couldn't stop laughing.  He immediately burrowed down and just left his nose and whiskers sticking out.  I didn't think he would ever come out again.  Haha!  :)

Eventually he cleaned his face and poked his head out for a little bit.  He seriously loved being in there.  Hahaha!  :)

Tunneling in Blankets

Tarcil loves running around under blankets!  The desire to build tunnels underground is an instinct that he will always have!  :)

Baseball

Baseball is my husband's favorite sport!  He played as a kid (and got really good!) until halfway through middle school when he got diagnosed with cancer in his knee/leg.  The chemotherapy, radiation, and surgeries left him unable to play, but he still loves to watch baseball.  This ball and glove were his from back when he still played.  :)

Camera Lens Cup

My mom gave me this awesome cup that is made to look like a camera lens!  I love it so much!  :)

Tarcil fits in it perfectly.  Haha :)

Eating a Strawberry

I have been addicted to strawberries since they are in season right now!!  I decided I should share one with Tarcil.  He hasn't had one before.  At first he seemed to really love it, but he didn't eat very much of it.  I just think it is so fun watching him eat!  :)

I love his little tongue sticking out!!

National Iced Tea Day

Today is National Iced Tea Day, so of course I had to make some for myself!  It is delicious on this warm day!!  :)

National Adopt a Cat Month

This month is National Adopt a Cat Month so of course I had to show of my cute Penny!  She is glaring at Tarcil because she doesn't like him being so close to her.  Haha.  Cats are so silly!!  :)

Best Friend Day

I am pretty sure that I am Tarcil's best friend, so I thought you should see us holding "hands".  :)

Photo shoot with Tarcil

Today I decided to use a bunch of my recent props for newborn photography shoots to do a photo shoot with Tarcil.  I don't think there are adequate words to describe how amazing and adorable it turned out!  Scroll down to see for yourself!  :)

I normally use frilly headbands for newborns (like the ones I made which I posted about in my previous two posts), but I thought a simple bow would fit Tarcil better.  :)

LOOK AT HIS TINY FOOT!!  :)

:)

New Backgrounds

I stained this piece of wood to use for the photo shoot I did yesterday with my niece.  And I haven't put away all of my props and stuff yet, so I decided to put Tarcil in a little set.  :)

Headbands Again!

I couldn't resist and so I made more headbands last night!  I love doing newborn photo shoots, especially with little baby girls!!!  :)  I can't wait to take pictures of my niece today!!!  :)

Headbands

I spent some time last night and today making little fabric flowers and headbands for my photo shoot with my niece.  They were a lot of work, but I LOVE how they turned out!!  :)

New Fabrics

I am getting ready for a photo shoot with my new niece later this week.  Part of my preparations included going to JoAnn Fabrics and buying some new fabrics to use as blankets and backdrops.  I love them all so much and I can't wait to use them!!  

Tarcil loved them too!  When I set him in the stack, he didn't move.  He just kinda snuggled down into the fluffy, softness of the materials.  :)

Dinner Time!

Tarcil is eating his dinner.  Well, actually, I suppose that is really his breakfast since he just woke up.  But what does it matter?  Food is food.  And he is cute no matter what he is doing.  :)
