Virginia's 3 Month Photo Shoot

As promised ...

Here are a few selections from sweet Virginia's 3 month photo shoot.













After we finished the photo shoot Virginia was going to get in some much needed tummy time, so we set up her blanket and a few toys.  We soon found out that she was much more interested in being photographed when she was laying on her back staring up at the camera, so here are some cute shots we got before tummy time (which she does not enjoy at all -- that's why we don't have any pictures of her actually during tummy time).

Virginia Laughed Out Loud Today!

After we finished Thanksgiving at Anna Kathryn's parents' house we stopped in for a quick visit with my parents (they were just getting back in town).  After we had been there for a while my dad was making silly faces to Virginia and she started to giggle.  We all got really excited, and I ran out to the car to get the video camera.  By the time I got back she had pretty much stopped, but it seems my dad has a knack for getting her to smile and laugh (maybe the way he looks, I don't know -- just kidding, Dad!).

Anyways, here is some short snippets of when she was really laughing at him.  It's really cute ...

Virginia's First Thanksgiving

We spent our Thanksgiving holiday in 2010 at Anna Kathryn's parents' house.  Here are some pictures we took during the day there.  Virginia never wanted to nap; she wanted to act like a big person.  She was always in somebody's lap observing everything that was going on.






























At the end of the day, we decided that since she was in such a social mood, we would take advantage of it and have a bunch of posed photos.




Special moments

There are those certain moments that you realize just how awesome parenthood is.  I say this in all seriousness (you'll understand when you see the picture of me and Virginia below).  Whether it's a "clean" moment or a "dirty" moment, there are those certain times that just make you smile bigger than you ever thought possible.

(she was acting especially cute after her bath and Anna Kathryn just didn't want to put her to bed)
(this was too good to pass up; she always seems to go for my work shirts with the "big ones")

2 Month Photo Shoot

As we are trying to make it a tradition to do monthly pictures, here are her 2 month pictures that we took.

Be on the lookout for her 3 month photos in the next couple of days - we're a little tardy on those, and her 4 month pictures coming up right around the corner (WOW!  time sure is flying) ...


















Churching and our First Day of Church

Virginia Anastasia Stewart was churched on October 2, 2010.

Here are a few videos and pictures that we had taken during the churching.














The next day we had our first day of full church service.  If I recall correctly, we were only 30 minutes late, which we have since realized is pretty much a success.

Virginia seems to really like church and doesn't really fuss a lot.  She especially likes when the choir sings.





Our First Outing to Strawberry Patch Park

After about a month of being cooped up in the house, Anna Kathryn and I decided to brave a walk in the park.

I decided that Virginia and I would dress alike for our outing (as you can see Charlie is a little jealous of Virginia).



We loaded up the stroller and Virginia and headed for the park.  Hear is a short video of us in the park.


We ran into another proud parent while we were on our stroll.





By the end of walk, Virginia was fast asleep.





SUCCESS!!!

It's Been a While ...

... but as those of you with kids know, a while goes by VERY quick!


I tried to keep up on pictures and events and videos and what not, but it was hard enough remembering to take the cameras places and then even harder to remember to use them.

I am going to attempt to catch us up a little, and I am going to also attempt to post pictures in chronological order (no guarantees there).

Also, here are some pics that I've taken throughout the past week sparatically that I thought warranted posting.
