Photo Shoot August 11, 2008

My sister-in-law, Samantha is our family photographer and she so kindly did one last photo shoot before she goes back to school. Here are some of my favorites:

In 2 and 1/2 months William has doubled his size (from 7 lbs to 14 lbs!). He is also just as handsome as ever!

William Newborn Pictures

Here are the newborn pictures that were taken at the hospital. He was less than 24 hour old.

Camera Shy?

"Hey Mommy, I have your maaake-up!"

"What? Do you think I won't use it?"
"Hmmmm, how do you get this thing open anyway?"
"Ah, Hah!"
"Oooooo, aren't I beautiful?!"

Silly Girl

Molly thought she was so funny running around with her little training panties on her head. Just picture the giggle that goes with that smiling eye. :)

She likes rolling around making funny animal sounds on baby William's rug in the morning while I feed him. She's definately a floor dweller (as William likes to say) just like her mommy!

Our Little Gardener

My mom found this gardening stuff at Target and just couldn't help herself. I thought it was a little silly of her to get it at first, but after seeing Molly wear it and love it I realized I couldn't have been more wrong! Her favorite piece of the ensamble is the shoes. Just about every time I pick her up from Mom's house she runs into the game room and pulls them out. She usually manages to get one on and then limps around happily swinging the other one by her side.

I have this cute video of Molly trying out her new stuff so I thought I would stick it on here. Ignore the background noise as my dad and Will discuss how bad the new Indiana Jones movie is.

William's Post-Birth Baby Shower

My Grami threw a baby shower for little William last weekend since she wasn't able to before he was born. I got to catch up with some old friends and visit with family. Molly had a blast playing with my friends' daughters while baby William slept the whole time (while being passed around the room). Although I took pictures with my own camera, the following were taken by my dea friend, Candace. Hopefully I will be able to upload my pictures soon. It's all a matter of getting my computer fixed which, unfortunately, I'm not very diligent in doing. Thank you Candace for letting me use these pictures to post on my blog too!

Molly got some presents too. In this picture she is doning her lovely new princess jewelry (we could only get one earing on her) while olding her new baby doll.
She loved all of her gifts and especially loved the attention everyone was giving her while she opened and played with them.
Here she is showing off her new clothes (thank you Beth!). I don't know if I've ever seen a one-and-a-half-year-old so excited about an outfit. She's so cute!

Molly & William Richard

Samantha was so kind to give us a photo shoot when baby William was about 10 days old. Here is a series of Molly holding her baby brother. I just couldn't pick one!

My absolute favorite! (below)


Molly was having a little trouble holding him at first.
Here she is looking up at us for advice on the best holding strategy. :)

Sweet snuggles

It was so exciting for her that she had to let go every once in a while and squeel, shaking her hands in the air.

Welcome, William Richard Sario

Sweet Feet

Molly loved her baby brother from the first time she saw him. She is already such a great big sister and helper! She wants to be involved in everything. I hope and pray that it lasts!

The first time Molly met her baby brother:

We can't keep her from kissing him. It's her special way of saying "I love you". It's also the cutest thing you ever saw!
