Photo Friday: Faves, Part 2

Yes, I know it's Saturday, but I didn't get to post yesterday, so what can you do?

In my attempt to look through every photo I've ever taken and post my favorites, today I'm continuing to post pictures of Padyn. I love these pictures, not because they are stellar quality photos, but because they show Padyn's progression during this time period. She was learning to do so much from 13 months on like opening presents, standing herself up on things, walking, drawing, wearing her hair in barretts...so much fun. Here's a peek at 12-15 months...

November 2004. Padyn couldn't walk on her own yet, but she could walk with the aid of her new walker.

December 2004. Trying to get a photo to give to Daddy for Christmas. January 2005. In Hawaii, Padyn perfected her love of the pool.
January 2004. Padyn was learning how to say "Cheese" for the camera.

February 2005.

February 2005. Padyn discovered her love of stickers and the phone.

Next week...March-June.

Photo Friday: Faves, Part 1

I decided for the next several weeks I am going to post my favorite photos for photo Friday. Since I have the most of Padyn, we're going to start with her and just do the first year of her life. This favorites series could take months, but at least it will give me something to post each week.

So, here it begins. Padyn, birth to 12 months. There are so so many, and I can't post them all, but here are some of Mommy's Favorites.

February 2004, 3 1/2 months old

Double Take

This picture just flashed across my screen saver and I thought, "Hmmm...when did I put that dress on Kate? It must have been this summer."

And then I realized it wasn't Kate.

No wonder I don't remember pulling that dress out yet. Doesn't it look cute on PADYN? She's 9 and a half months old in this picture. But boy, I really thought it was Kate for a second.

The other one? That's a 14 month old Coley.
