Talk about energy! This guy was full of it, keeping me on my toes and giving me a nice work out. We jumped, we ran, we soared.

I love the interaction between mom and son. They have a great bond that is almost tangible.

It’s hard for me to believe that my little guy is SIX months old already. Half a year! Hard to believe it’s been 6 months since the back to back blizzards that had us worried that we’d be going to the hospital in style, via National Guard HMMWV…. 6 months since the midwife jokingly advised us to read up on home birth, just in case.

And now– he’s so big! He’s 28 inches long, and weighed in at 19lbs, 6oz. He rolls, sits, crawls, and pulls to stand! (My daughter at this age was just learning how to roll).

I just love watching my kids interact. They both really love each other. The way his face lights up when he sees her walk in a room, the way she rushes to his side to sing a lullaby every time he cries. Yes, I’m getting sappy. I can’t help it. I hope they are always close, that they are always friends.

My amazing baby is already 5 months old! It truly does not seem like it’s been that long. Time flies when you have a child– doubly so when you have two! He is rolling, sitting, creeping, and today he pulled himself up to standing. I’m trying to tell him that it’s not a race, but he doesn’t seem to be interested in listening. All he cares about is trying to keep up with his big sister!

Speaking of the big sister, she has a boyfriend. They are only 1 day apart and are SO cute together. Of course this means I need photos to save for their future wedding day, right?

This was our most successful session yet! The toddlers had a blast, the baby was happy– all went well. This means I have no funny outtakes to share this time, however.

These two kids are so vibrant! Full of laughter, full of energy, full of life. I had such a great time trying to keep up with them. We jumped like crazy, had stick swordfights, rolled in the grass, and talked about who got in trouble more (the jury is still out o that one).

Here are a few of my favorites for the day (it was so hard to pick just a few!)

When we last left off, I shared the 1 and 2 months photos, and promised to finish catching up this week. I forgot how many I did for month 3, so I will do just that, and use month 4 next week, and then I’ll be all caught up!

She is SUCH a good big sister. She loves her brother, and he adores her in return.

We started off well….

I promised Kaylee a tea party. I had a vision of a billowing canopy, beautiful backlight….. except there was a wedding going on in the spot I wanted to use. Oops. Time to improvise.

And this is to show you how it really went, a little behind the scenes action….. throwing a tantrum while having a tea party. (I believe she was mad because I wanted her to use invisible pretend tea in the teapot and she wanted water. She was having a fit, crying, “There’s no tea! No tea!” while trying to pour it in her cup. Ahh, the glory of 2 year olds.

In other news, tomorrow I will be at the 16th Annual Baltimore Regional Toddler Fair hosted by The Montessori School in Lutherville, MD. It’s open to the public, and runs from 10-2. There will be food and entertainment for the kids (including a real fire truck, balloon sculpture, gymnastics demonstrations, interactive music programs and puppet shows) Did I mention it’s free? The school is located at the intersection of Greenspring Valley and Falls Road in Lutherville. Come out out, stop by my booth and say hi! Mention this blog post for a little surprise! I’m also doing a drawing for a $100 print credit.
