Seven Months

Has it really been SEVEN months since I had Allison? The phrase "time flies" seems like an understatement. She is changing so much lately, and to me, seems to be acting more like a little girl every day. Her first tooth is slowly (and painfully) making it's appearance. I only get glimpses of her first pearly white when she laughs, but it's definitely there! She is also experimenting with little samples of smashed table food. She likes it when I give her little drops of water from the end of a straw, and she likes to chew on tiny bits of bread. We have even been mean enough to give her a taste of a lemon. :) Her mobility is also changing because as of last night, I put her on her tummy and she pushed up on her hands and then pulled her legs under her so she was on all four! If that wasn't cute enough, she started rocking back and forth, shifting the weight from her hands to her knees. I think we will have a semi-crawler in the next month or so. She still loves to stand best, and can support herself by holding on the coffee table or the couch. She doesn't have the balance to stay up, but she has the strength.

Right now Allison has a nasty cold, but in staying true to our monthly portrait tradition we braved the windy weather for about 15 minutes to capture her cuteness.

Just an update on everything going on - we plan to launch our website this week. We had some technical delays, but we are back on track, so stay tuned. I also have an entire post to do on the vacation we just returned from, but I'll have to save that for tomorrow. Enjoy the photos!

I'm so sad for Allison that she has a cold!! But we had SUCH a GREAT time with you guys in Alto. I really hope we can make it an annual tradition -- maybe we'll go in January or February next year when you'll have better skiing. :)

She's growing up so fast. She's such a cutie. She'll be crawling soon and your world will never be the same! Enjoy these last few days before your house is empty of anything on the floor. Sorry about the cold.

7 months?!! Good grief! It does seem like just yesterday... I can't believe Malaki is 4 months this Monday! I hope she gets to feeling better. Ps. Your photography is B-E-A-UTIFUL!!

Kristin, your precious Allison is a cutie. I cannot believe you've already had her seven months. And you are a great photographer. I mean this in all seriousness, please tell me some tips. I just got a Canon Rebel XT and am trying to learn how to take better pics. Please, please pass along anything that would help me improve!!

Best wishes on your new business!
