Photo session

So i have recently gotten a new lens for my camera and this one is supposed to be smoking good, one of the best for portrait and low light photography...so i will be taking a lot of portraits of Noah in the near future :) Here are some pictures from today's session with Paul and Noah. I like them but I haven't really figured out the lens completely so this is just experimenting for now :)

This is my first photo I took of Noah with my new lens.

I absolutely love this picture...Noah's eyes tell the whole story. The bokeh looks pretty neat as well:)

This one tells a story of our family...




Couple shots of me and Noah.


How special...

Trip to North Georgia

It was such a fun day yesterday! We decided to join our friends Ania and David and their adorable three year old daughter Zosia on a trip to North Georgia. We all went in one car and for the first time we turned Noah's seat so it was forward facing :) I was a little bit hesitant to take Noah for all day trip since his schedule is very predictable these days and I didn't want to mess with his nap times. However the trip was too tempting to turn it down so we decided to go, hoping that Noah somehow will take at least one nap in a car. Didn't happen! Not only did he not take a nap, he skipped all his naps and his bedtime :) In spite of all these circumstances, he was a true ANGEL! He was so calm and content that me and Paul were in real awe. He must have really enjoyed all the activities that were going on. He especially liked watching and hanging out with Zosia (those two were so cute together). Anyways, all of us had such a great day yesterday. Our first stop was in Helen to see Anna Ruby Falls, then we had a nice picknic outside and finally we stop by a lake beach so the kids could play in the sand and water. We finished our Saturday escapade by having a scrumptious dinner at a German restaurant. Here are some photos from yesterday:

Into the night

Fun summer day

Today we were visited by Zosia and Ania and we spent most of the afternoon hanging out at the pool. What else we can do in Mableton :) It was a beautiful, sunny day and Noah was overjoyed to see Zosia. It was so much fun to watch them play together and hang out. In spite of two years age difference, they got along really great.

Relaxing in a tub later on the same day

Noah and Iza

Noah had a little playmate today! His Polish friend Iza came over for a little while and the two of them had a good time playing, watching Winnie the Pooh and snacking around :) I couldn't resist and took some photos of them in between.

9 Month check-up

Noah had his 9 month check up yesterday!!! According to the doctor he is "just perfect" :) He is now 28 and a half inches tall and weighs 21 pounds and 8 ounces, which puts him in a 70% range for weight and 60% for height on the national growth charts (Head 45cm).His doctor also gave him the ok to start eating all kinds of different foods. How exciting!! He can now have meals with us and yesterday was the first day I actually pureed his food for him :)) He had a salmon with broccoli and buckwheat and he loved it! Yeah! Noah is the keeper! I can now finally pull out my cooking book "Deceptively Delicious" and seriously get into this cooking business. I'll check with you on that one later on :))

Today was also a special day because Noah reached another milestone and said the word "tata/dada". After swimming in a pool for couple hours, me and Noah were having a bath together and I when i called Paul to come and see us, Noah suddenly turned around to look for him and said "tata" :)) Then he repeated it again in Paul's presence! He definitely brightened the rest of our evening! We love you sweet pea.

Today at the pool playing around with mommy

I just love to be thrown in the air over and over again :)

Happy 9 months!

I can't believe my little baby Noah is already 9 months old! At nine months, Noah is crawling, pulling up, walking by holding to one hand, saying mama and tata :))It was like yesterday when he was born :) The time goes by really fast. It was such a wonderful 9 months and the happiest time in my life. I am so looking forward to many more happy times together! We are going to have a blast! Mommy and daddy love you so much :)) Noah today after his morning cat nap on the floor in our bedroom Already climbing the stairs...I am a very persistent little booger!
