The Little Prince

The Prince and his Princess

I LOVE taking a BATH!!

Look at me with my sippee cup!!

Graham Crackers--yummy!

Can't find me...

I know I can get it...

Yes, it has been a bit since I have posted...sorry! But those of you with little ones know just how busy life can be...it is hard to believe that August has come and gone. I turned 35 on August 16 and it was the best birthday ever because I have the best present EVER--a loving family and beautiful son (http://sunshinesavannahleigh.blogspot.com/2008/08/aunt-sissys-birthday.html).

Other events have also happened--family birthdays, Logan's first trip to the KY State Fair, Oldham County Day (slept through both of these outings)and many more, but now it is almost September and we are gearing up for the BIG GAME--Cats vs. Cards and some down time to rejuvenate over the long weekend!!

Since Logan has become mobile, he is REALLY busy and CURIOUS!! I love to watch him discover new places and new things. It is almost as if I can see the pathways in his brain just going to town. He is SOOOOO smart!! He had a big week with Mimi--tea party (he was the host of course, being the only male), picking Carrington up from school, discovering the kitchen, and graham crackers (mimi, not mommy!). Enjoy the photos...

We are CRAWLING!!!

Yep! Can you believe it? Logan is just barely 7 months old and he is crawling!!!! Logan has been sitting up for about 2 months now, but Chad and I always had to actually sit him up. He couldn't figure out how to go from laying down to sitting up. Well, last Monday, he figured that out. Needless to say, I knew the crawling would be coming next BUT I never DREAMED it would happen so soon after.

Hopefully this video will post. It is a bit long and he doesn't actually crawl until the very end. In fact, he teases you a bit and then finally he crawls. We are so blessed and can't believe how fast he is growing and learning. We love him so very much!! Enjoy!

Yes, that is a Notre Dame onesie he is wearing. I remember when we purchased those in January right after he was born. I thought..."He will never grow into these??" Little did I know it would only take 7 months to get there...

It's Official...

Well, sort of...when I started designing my website, I didn't realize when it was published to the internet it would have this funky URL. So, eventually (when the free trial runs out) that will change. But for now, you can find Images by Staci at:

http://web.me.com/stacirenee

Yes, it's wierd...sorry!! Please leave comments about the site, the prices, if you want me to take your pictures. I value your thoughts and ideas.

So Blessed...

So Blessed...Part 2

Images by Staci...

Please forgive me. I know many of you check our blog regularly and I have been lagging on my posts. I have officially gone back to work (though it seems as though I never had a break to begin with) and with that comes mommy going to bed earlier. Enough excuses...

Chad, Logan and I had the pleasure of having our pictures taken earlier this month by Robin Smith (http://www.robinsmithphotography.com/) I have been waiting to post most of them because I wanted to get the actual prints to give to my family...well, they came in today!! So, family...get ready! They really are great! So, this wonderful little "video short" showcases some of the pictures Robin took of our family (So Blessed) as well as some of the pictures I took of Logan at my parent's house (this post, above).

Many of you know that I am working to build up my photography business, so this is an example of some of my shots. The website to lauch my business is close to being done and as soon as it is ready, you all will be the first to know!!

I am thinking of naming my business "Images by Staci" What do you think? Please leave a comment especially concerning the pictures, but also about the name...

Thank you again for reading our blog. I have also added some of the blogs I regularly read to the list on the side. If you have a blog, please pass on the URL so we can see how you are doing!

Until next time...

The Windy City...

Here we are...first time both of us are away from our baby, in Chicago, for a little get-a-way. It has been fun so far, but it is funny how our conversation always ends up wondering what our son is doing! "Oh...it's noon. He is probably eating right now. Hey...it is 5:00 so he is probably taking a short nap. Wouldn't Logan love this ball game?" How funny are we? Several years ago, we came to Chicago for a girls shopping trip and Chad came up at the same time for a few games. Needless to say, we SHOPPED UNTIL WE DROPPED! This time it is very different...we are even staying on Michigan Avenue right across the street from Bloomingdale's and down the street from Niketown, but have we bought anything for ourselves? NO!!! It seems that we both go directly to the kids section to see what we can bring home for Logan...WOW...how things change!!

Anyhow, here are a few pictures from our Wrigley Field tour and the game this evening. Cubs 7, Reds 3!! GO CUBBIES!!
