Mateo 1 year {Edmonton Cake Smash Photographer}

I can't even believe this little guy is 1 already! I've had so much fun watching little Mateo grow up, and I feel so privileged to have been able to photograph these milestones. He has grown into such a handsome happy little guy. Happy Birthday Mateo!! 

Luca 1 year session {Edmonton Cake Smash Photographer}

Luca was so much fun to photograph! He didn't love his cake, but at least he got good and messy :) Happy Birthday Luca!!

Mateo 6 months {Edmonton baby photographer}

It's really blows my mind how fast time goes by lately, and I notice it even more when I get to see how quickly little people grow up. I did Mateo's newborn photos last summer and now he's already a 6 month old! Here are a few of my favs from his 6 month session. 

July

Coen turned 9 months on July 30th, and I can hardly believe that my maternity leave is now 3/4s over!

So as of July 30th :

- he weighs 19lbs 2oz
- is crawling backwards
- loves rolling around everywhere
- now has his 2 top and 2 bottom teeth
- has developed a bit of a nap routine finally. We're trying to put him to bed at 7pm now. He's usually up between 5-7am, and usually naps around 1.5hrs in the morning and again in the afternoon. He also has stopped needing feedings at night, which has made me one happy mama :)
- still loves the exersaucer and jolly jumper
- has graduated to sitting in the shopping cart, and is loving every minute of flirting with anyone that will pay attention to him.
- is a great eater, and is loving attempts with finger foods, although he doesn't quite have the coordination to get the food in his mouth yet.

Payten - 1 year cake smash session {edmonton cake smash photographer}

I have had the pleasure of photographing this gorgeous little girl since she was just 6 days old. It's amazing how fast time flies and how quickly these little ones grow up! Payten is such a gorgeous little girl and I had so much fun with her during her 1 year session. She wasn't a huge fan of the icing, if you can believe it, but luckily she liked the cake and got good and smashy :)
Happy Birthday Payten!!

June

June was a rainy month! Here's hoping the rest of the summer makes up for this past month.

So, as of June 30th Coen is officially 8 months old
- Now has his 2 bottom teeth
- Is now in 6-12 months clothes and size 3 diapers
- Is making dada sounds
- Rolls from back to belly in his crib all the time, this
has made for some difficult sleeps because for some reason he is unable to roll back.
- He now sleeps on his side most of the time
- Still goes to bed at 6pm, and is up for the day anywhere between 5:00am or 7:00am. Is usually up 1-2 times at night. Has a consistent 1.5hr morning nap, but fights the afternoon naps for some reason
- Finally doing some real belly laughs now
- Getting slightly mobile, can seem to move backwards and in circles when on his tummy. No crawling yet though.
- Reaches for anything and everything within reach
- Still loves the exersaucer and jolly jumper and Sophie the giraffe has become his new favorite toy
