Story-time for Scarlet.

Momma is starting Scarlet early on her books. Ginger tries to give little Miss Scarlet a little "story-time" everyday where she reads her a book. Here are some pictures of one day where Daddy came into Scarlet's room to find a very cute photo opportunity. Momma was reading a story ("If you were born a Kitten") and Scarlet was actually looking at the pictures in the book very attentively. Then Momma read one of her sister Shaunna's all-time favorites - "Morris and Boris". Maybe it will be one of Scarlet's favorites too as she seemed to like it as well.

Baff time!

Scarlet has pretty much liked her bath from day one (lucky me!) Here are some recent pics to verify just that.

Awww........

My youngest nephew Logan, wanted to help bathe "Baby Scarlet"

One that will make you smile

Scarlet thinks its funny when you play pattycake with her feet.

Momma's favorite photo

My friend Amy is always sending me cool artistic photos she found on www.flickr.com. (Check it out sometime) Here's a picture that Ron took and "doctored" in Photoshop. Personally, I think its as cool as anything you will find on the website. Sigh..... Im so gonna miss her being this little someday.

Soooo sweet.

Daddy's Favorite Photos

Daddy's current favorite picture of beautiful Scarlet!

Ginger and I are taking pictures of Scarlet all the time (of course). But in doing so we can quickly get behind in posting them here on the blog for everyone to see. I hope we can do better as Scarlet becomes a tad more self-sufficient as she gets bigger and we also get better at the Mommy & Daddy thing. Anyway, here's several of Daddy's very favorite photos that we have taken over the last several weeks - minus a couple of new ones that were taken just within the past week (we'll post those very soon).

Daddy's 2nd fave (hard to choose between this & the above) - love that grin!

Giving oh so cute poses while relaxing in my boppy!

Daddy just melts when he gets looks like this.

Scarlet asleep but somehow kept her paci perched just on the edge of her lip!

For the moms....and Amy

Received these in the mail today from one of Ron's cousins and had to share them. So cute! Thanks Melissa - you can NEVER have too many burp cloth's. What a great gift!

So glamorous!

Here are three of the best of Scarlet's first studio pictures. These were done a couple of weeks back right at 2 months old. She was a little sleepy and getting hungry so we couldn't get her to smile. Not bad considering - especially since all of these were taken with her pacifier being pulled out for the 2.1 seconds that it took to snap each photo.

Mommy's favorite - the "strike a pose" look.

Daddy's favorite - the "doing a cute smirk while resting on my arm" look.

The third best shot - "Scarlet the deep thinker" look.

Of course once Daddy got the digital originals on CD-ROM, he did his PhotoShop thing and "improved" the originals a little more (hence no birthmark or baby acne). But if you happen to get an original print, you'll see those since Kiddie Kandids can't do such simple touch-ups. Yeah, you would think that they could at least do a little of that.

Saturday "mommy" club

Nobody told me that when you are out on maternity leave that you would be STARVED for adult interaction and someone that could talk back to you. Thank goodness I have friends that have babies too! We have started (we've actually only met one time but I am hoping to make this a regular thing) getting together for brunch on an occasional Saturday morning. You've never seen so many strollers, bottles, burp clothes and pacifiers in one place! The cafe was ready to kick us out!

Rachel and Scarlet. We couldn't get a picture of them WITHOUT the suckies (pacifiers)!
