I LOVE MY FAMILY!!!

Once again the wonderful Lyndzee Ellsworth of EPLove.net captured some super cute shots of our little family! Kip's family did a Robinson Family photo session with EPLove right after Christmas. These are my favorites of the 3 of us that I stole from her website. Thanks Lyndzee for being so super cool, for being one of my photography hero's, for being such a good friend to Kip & I. Can't wait to hang out again!

FINALLY!!!!

Brooke and I have been trying to communicate with this whole feeding process. I just have not been understanding her, up until today :) I finally figured out how I could feed her in a way that she would actually consume food. I tried rice cereal, baby oatmeal, baby food veggies, baby food fruit, smashing up actual veggies, smashing up actual fruit, NOPE!!! She hated them all!!! I gave her a slice of cucumber the other day and she went to town, I give her a pickle spear she snatches it out of my hands, try to feed her a whole banana and she loves it, but hates baby food banana's. SO today I just put whole raspberries, a quarter of a banana, and a bunch of green beans on her tray and she went to town.... WHY???? SHE NEEDS TO FEED HERSELF!!!!!!!! Our little independent woman! If I try to put it in her mouth, NOPE, but if I leave it on the tray for her to pick up and feed herself, YEP!!!






I have a feeling Brooke is always going to be a little picky in the eating category because she has been since the day she was born. I also have a feeling Brooke is going to be a kid that wants to grow up a little faster than her parents want her to. We shall see? But for now hip, hip, hooray for the fact that I found a way she will actually eat!

Look Alike???

So tell me what you think????
I know that they are not exact replica's of one another but dang aren't they close?? Isn't it creepy how much their expressions are the same even in some of the pictures? I think so!





By the way Makenna is my niece, my sister Amanda's little girl! We have always joked that Makenna looked like she could be Kip and I's kid, even before we had our own kids. I suppose Makenna really could be one of our kids :)

Water Baby

Brooke LOVES her bath time. We pretty much do it every single night these days. With Brooke not being a fan of baby food we end up with a messy little lady each night. Maybe this is her plot to get into the tub each evening. Well, here are some fun bath shots we got the other night.





Does the JOY ever end???
Just tonight Kip and I sat in the kitchen cracking up as Brooke put on quite a display with the banana we decided to let her try. We still can't quite decide if she HATED or LOVED the banana??? We got it on video, I will try and see if I can upload it? SHE IS SO FUNNY!!! She brings SO much joy to our home and we can not imagine life without this little person. Our hearts are SO FULL!!!!

When You Wish Upon A Star........
