Ruler of the Elves

Happy 2012! I hope your holidays were splendid. We have had an amazingly busy couple of weeks, but we are finally settling into our new (temporary) home. And if I weren’t busy enough with unpacking and preparing for Chris’ new job/Pinky’s new school, I have decided to tackle another photography project for the New Year. I will be taking a photo a day for 2012. I might be crazy or maybe to just a glutton for punishment. Either way, you can keep up with me here.

Oh and here is the first photo of the installment…

April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November & December.

I’ll be taking a monthly photo of Sweet Pea on a big black and white calendar for the first year of his life for a sense of size and scale.

This year, I thought it would be fun to put together a little collage of some of Pinky’s and Sweet Pea’s favorite gifts. Mr. Claus must have thought that they were both pretty good little citizens this year, with the crazy amount of loot that they both received. This is just a snippet of some of their absolute favorites! (I think that everything was a favorite, but I didn’t have the time or space to showcase all items.)

From our family to yours!

This is post is long overdue and I also have Sweet Pea’s 8 month photo to post this week as well!

Sweet Pea’s 7 month photo was certainly a fun one to take. If you remember from 6 months, he was all over the calendar spinning in circles and checking things out. Well, this time, he was only content hanging out on his back for a few moments, which limited the time I was allowed to actually capture the photo.

He wanted to be sitting up. Oh, and to crumple the month of November with his pudgy little fingers! This calendar doesn’t stand a chance against this little guy.

I also captured what I like to call “The Many Faces of Sweet Pea.”

April, May, June, July, August, September, October & November.
