I saw a lot of local photographers offering Valentine's Day mini-sessions, but given that they were 15 minutes long, it was bound to be a hit or miss…(probably miss, based on our last family photo session). Plus, you don't really need Valentine photos…but they sure are fun to have (pink, hearts and tutus, oh my!) So over the weekend, Harper's ...

Our Weekend…
After all of our Christmas fun, we were ready for a laid-back weekend. The weather was terrible anyway so it was nice to spend a little more time at home, especially with all of Harper's fun new toys! (Harper's bow ℅ SadieSkyBoutique) On Saturday, we headed to the Children's Museum because it was rainy and muggy outside. We went to the tot ...
Our Christmas
This Christmas, I felt the same rush of excitement I felt as a child on Christmas Eve. Harper's first Christmas was so special, but I was even more excited this Christmas. We have a walking, talking toddler now and I was looking forward to seeing the holidays through her eyes. I worked a half-day on Christmas Eve and as soon as I left the office ...
Harper Reese- 18 Months Old!
Harper turned 18 months old on Thanksgiving Day this year and we couldn't have more to be thankful for. She's thriving and learning and doing so many new things everyday it's hard to keep track of it all. And, she's as cute as a button, for goodness sakes! Harper is obsessed with the song "happy" by Pharrell (they play it at daycare and all of ...
Harper Reese- 17 Months Old!
I remember looking at a picture of Harper as a six month old recently and marveling about how that was nearly a year ago…how is my baby 17 months old? Harper has been a lot more vocal/verbal this month. She's always saying new and old words and making up some of her own! She's still very shy at daycare and not talking as much there. Her teachers ...
Family Photos!
A few weeks ago, I shared a little summary of our recent family photo session. Basically, it was a total disaster. Harper decided she wasn't having it and had meltdowns and tantrums until we left. #toddlerlife, for real. Our photographer, Crystal, from Crystal Lynn Photography (I found her via Marissa at The Simple Swan!) assured us that she got ...
Harper Reese-16 Months Old + The Houston Zoo
Yesterday, Harper turned 16 months old. As she gets older, it's nearly impossible to get photos of her (especially if you ask, she will laugh and run away) so I'm sharing photos from our trip to the Houston Zoo today as part of her 16-month update. This month Harper's language really exploded. I remember being a little worried at her 15-month ...
Harper Reese- 15 Months Old!
Harper's 15 month update is way late…but I love documenting her progress each month and sharing all of the new things she's up to. The days of Harper crying when I leave her class are over. Now, she happily runs inside and is all "see ya, mom."She just loves her little class, her teachers and her friends. She's learning so much every day and I'm ...
Harper Reese- 14 Months Old!
We are two weeks into Harper's transition to the toddler room at daycare and it could not be going any better. They are on such a fantastic schedule and they do so many activities. arts and crafts and have twice daily outdoor play. They still have the cameras in her class and I was watching one morning while the teachers put on a full-on puppet ...
Harper Reese- 13 Months Old!
Harper is blowing our minds lately. She is the sweetest, funniest, most joyful and smartest little girl (and I say this simply as a loving parent and not because I think she's advanced in any way). Her personality is emerging more and more each week and she has so many adorable things that she does now that it's hard to keep track of them ...
