Six months

And we have a six month old! Six months into her life, Priska is…amazing. That’s the word I find myself using most often—talking to her, talking about her, thinking of her. She’s a smart, curious, sweet, content girl and happy as all get out. But it’s not only her brain and personality I love: those...

erik - Oh how i love these pictures. You do such a great job of capturing her love that she brings us. Every day I am surprised on how much she grows and changes, AND how much we love her. Thank you for helping to make this life happen for us! I love you!!

Gail - OK, two things:
1) This Werner officially has baby fever. I want one of those in 2012 :)

and

2) I want that baby in front of my camera. With her parents, of course. THAT also MUST happen in 2012, ‘kay? SERIOUSLY.

Saturday snapshot: Tasty

We’re nearing the six month mark, the time when solid foods are often introduced into a wee one’s diet. But I have to admit I’m having a tough time accepting that my girl is ready. So far we’ve given her little tastes of banana and random veggies to gnaw, like celery, carrot and pepper. I...

Amber B - A little baby cha. Enjoying a glass of vino with mom. Haha! The first foods were so fun. It was great to see their expressions. Have fun!

Gail - Ahhhh…SO cute! My best friend told me the best thing they did with their baby girl was make her own baby food, so she could to really taste the flavor of the real food. They swear that is why, at 15 months, she now eats like a champ!!!

kay - I love your choice of intro foods. And those blue eyes! Oh my!

A fall wonderland

The fall colors and warm temperatures here have been amazing lately, especially considering that it’s November, a time when hats and gloves are usually a necessity and awaking to frost on the ground isn’t uncommon. And oh gosh, our poor friends and family on the East coast; they didn’t even get a proper Halloween with...

Margaret Henry - Erin & Erik & Miss P.,

What a beautiful area! (and we think we have it all here in beautiful Brown County… guess not!)

Could Priska’s eyes be ANY bluer in these shots?
She is so adorable!

Have a wonderful weekend. By the way, Basel is featured in an article in Victoria magazine this month. The photos look like some you’ve taken Erin.

Happy Hiking!

MandyB - Her eyes look SO blue in that last picture! Wow! What fun!

kay - Absolutely gorgeous color! and pictures! I think you write beautifully too! Are the pictures on the banner yours?

Halloween, our way

Oh, Halloween. The funny holiday that’s probably as enjoyable for a non-parent as it is for a parent. I remember the Halloweens of my 20′s—planning what was sure to be the BEST collaboration with my gal pals (hello Gem and the Holograms), busting out uniforms of yore (IU Cheerleader, anyone?) or teaming up with my...

kay - Sooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the “costume”! You can see the mark from her nuk! LOL! and I don’t recognize the carrier. Is it a new one? Look at those blue eyes!!!!

Cheese!

Last month Erik, Priska and I took our first transatlantic trip together! We were a bit worried about how Miss P would handle the long flight, the hotel stays, the plethora of car rides (her least favorite place in the world is her car seat) and being away from home for so long. But the...

karin - she is stunning in yellow! you all look so happy. asa and i were so glad to be able to see you guys, and meet priska.

Sonda Schmidt - What a BEAUTIFUL family! Ryan did a great job capturing Priska’s expressions… and her mama and papa’s adoration. The last one is a hoot…question of the day: How many greeting cards could this face inspire? :) Infinite possibilities. Love you guys! mom

Four months

Wow, four months. And really, while this is Priska’s four month post (because I committed to a post every two months…and missed my second-ever deadline) she’ll actually be five months old tomorrow. I’m sitting here thinking about the last five months and am in awe of time, its ability to creep and crawl and then,...

Amber B - Oh the time does fly by. You have one beautiful girl on your hands. And the hat definitely needed to be like twice the size. Maybe she needs a new one mailed to her.

October 24, 2011 - 6:00 PM

Gail - Oh the sweetness — it’s too much!!!! I think my favorite is the “Home Grown” shot!

erik - I love this so much! I am crying right now. I love our little girl so much! I especially love the bottom right last photo. I think this shows she is a happy girl. Her download session is remembering some good times with Momma!

Anja - Wow, this post is so heart-warming, Erin! Thank you for sharing.
(I have to admit, I have a new favourite neighbour. It’s the one wearing that fancy dragon suit).
