Some New Pics of Our Brood

These were actually taken at the beginning of July to mark Talmage's 9 month milestone. He has changed so since his 6 month pictures. I wasn't going to do all the kids but at the last minute decided to get a few new shots. We threw on outfits and whipped out hair do's and this is what came out of it. I love them! Sometimes I over think getting ready for this stuff so the spontaneous thing was kind of nice. Besides, Ava and Claire won't ever pass up the opportunity to be photographed.

They love the attention!

I promise I tried to narrow down which photos. They are just all too dang cute!

Ava Loves the Camera! Can you tell?

 

 

 I've seen this face a few too many times!

Sassafras!

She truely is beautiful inside and out! Love this Big Girl!

Claire isn't shy for the camera...just the lady taking the pictures.

She might look all calm and collected on the outside...but there is a reason we call her Crazy Cousin.

Inside she is all spunk and personality...with a side helping of adorable and cuddly too. (We also call her Cuddly Cuddly)

And here is the the Big Boy! He was so much better than last time, but whole ordeal got old for him real fast. 

It was hard to narrow pictures because I love how they captured so many of his facial expressions.

These are some of my favorites!

He is all sorts of scrumptious in these pictures!

He just might have gotten the bluest eyes and the longest lashes of all our kids. Is always the boy! 

(so unfair).

 Mr. Handsome

 He has been sucking in his upper lip lately and we see this silly face quite often.

We should have learned our lesson last time. He doesn't like to sit in suitcases. I posted the black and white because you can see the tears forming (esp on the left eye).

By this time he was really done. What you don't know is this smile is really the beginning of a unhappy smirk. Thank the Heavens for talented photographers.

 

 I used to think that using food terminology to describe a baby was sort of overkill. But really, no word better describes him than Delish! (currently the slang term for delicious).
