First Birthday

My littlest recently turned 1 so we decided to do a little cake smash with her.

Unfortunately, right around her actual birthday, she was pretty sick so we waited until after our visit to Rome (more on that later) to actually do the cake smash.

Don't mind the cake! I had to move quickly so we didn't lose daylight, which caused me to frost a warm banana cake (you can find the recipe here- it's really yummy!) and, of course, melt the frosting. Oh well. Better luck next time! :)

She was the daintiest little cake eater.

Of course, big sister wanted in on the cake too!

I had a lot of fun taking the pictures and the girls had a lot of fun tasting the cake. They are just too cute. I can't believe our baby girl is already 1!

**Stay tuned for more on our trip to Rome. I'll be adding several posts in the next couple of weeks all about it!

First Christmas

It's my littlest's first Christmas this year, so her and I took a few tree photos last week. She loved inspecting the ornaments and the gifts underneath.

Christmas is such a wonderful time of year. We're enjoying our time here in France and love learning more about the culture. We're excited for our first Christmas here!

How will you be celebrating Christmas this year? What are some of your favorite traditions?

Adeline Newborn Photos

On February 20th, we welcomed our second little girl, Adeline, into our family! The delivery went great and both of us were/are doing well. :)

I really wanted to make sure that I got a few newborn photos of Adeline so after we had been home for a few days, I made sure to snap a handful. Here are some of my favorites:

She would only cooperate swaddled and I didn't have my normal chunk of time to take newborn photos (or the energy)  hence all the similar poses

Isn't this headband so pretty?! One of my friends made it for me (along with a variety of others) and I just love them.

London has been such a great Big Sister! I've been so proud of her through all of this.

Favorite.
