A very wet Spring delayed our shoot with Levi on more than one occasion. When we finally found a dry day we searched for a location that wouldn’t be too soggy for a very mobile little boy who likes to investigate :) When he wasn’t picking up rocks and trying to eat them, Levi was full of smiles for me (as long as the cat wasn’t around)…
And I couldn’t resist getting a few with the whole family…I remember this age of my own kids and how crazy it felt then…Sometimes now I long for the simplicity of first steps and sippy cups :)
Such a doll he is! And soon he is turning ONE..can’t wait to see him again and how much he’s changed!
My Trenton has been losing teeth left and right. I’ve been so excited to see both of his front teeth get looser as the summer as progressed and could already picture him with a giant window just in time for the first day of school! Last week, one of his teeth had become so loose that it looked VERY crooked and would even stick out of his mouth when he tried to close it! I had a wedding last Saturday and before I left for the day, I told Trenton, “don’t lose your tooth before I get back….”
We went boating on Sunday, loose tooth and all. But the story wouldn’t be near as good without pictures to prove it.
The Funnest way to lose a tooth:
Step 1. Hop on tube with Dad and go for a fun ride!
Step 2: Hit some waves and be sure your face hits the tube. Hard. Notice his mouth and the tooth hanging on…literally!
Step 3: Don’t panic. Your dad’s a smart guy. He instantly realizes you’ve hit your mouth and stops the ride (while he’s laughing).
Step 4: Dad uses what strength he last left from hanging on to the tube to give your tooth a gentle tug…
Step 5: Show off your new smile and celebrate knowing the tooth fairy will soon be making a visit!
And don’t forget the last step…keep wiggling the other one ;) It’s only three weeks until school starts!!! Hope everyone is staying cool this week!

Just two short weeks later, and Trenton is celebrating having his window complete….and the singing of “All I want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth” is on repeat mode :) The second tooth came out in a much less dramatic fashion, but the excitement is still the same!
Grace is making her first of many appearances on the blog as she is one of the newest additions to the Weeds Program! I am delighted to have the opportunity of documenting the first year of her life and am already in love with her dark hair and adorable grin.
Grace’s first session was of course, all about her (no boys allowed). Here she is at three months old and already sporting a fabulous wardrobe with accessories to match!
It was only a few short weeks later that I returned to the Baker household to photograph the boys! What a change from Grace’s session! The boys were all about playing in the yard, exploring and riding their power wheels. I’m sure a girl would just get in their way ;)
It’s hard not to compare siblings…and I could instantly tell that younger brother Isaac is a bit on the ornery side while Will is more quiet and reserved. It didn’t take long for Will to open up though and was soon telling me all about their excavation site in the sandbox ;)
Oh my goodness, I could not stop cracking up at these two cruising the yard with their shades on! They look like the two coolest kids to ever go on safari ;)
And little Grace woke up just in time for a sibling picture. Those boys sure do love their baby sister…until she starts playing with their toys, right?! Such a beautiful family, and sweet too. I got two fist bumps before I could leave making me feel like Will and Isaac might let ME go on the next safari ;) Can’t wait to see you all again soon for Grace’s six month session!
