Welcome!
I'm so very ecstatic that you decided to join the party.  It is my life's passion to keep you entertained through my photographs of babies, my family, and pretty much anything that moves me. 

Stick around and become part of the family. 
Come early, come often, leave comments.

Fox is a sweetheart and a rebel all wrapped into one.  He's the total package, y'all.  He's both a snugglebug and an independent, and I really appreciate that in a man.  Fox has SO MANY redeemable qualities, that the ladies are just going to have to get in line when he's older.  I mean, you can't just expect a guy who a) has never met a stranger and b) can recite lines from the movie Cars (in his own little toddler language) to just fall into your lap.  You little honeys are gonna have to work for it.  He's a CATCH.  With his mama Beth and his daddy Jake on task, Fox is learning the ways of the world, and I feel so honored to be able to watch him grow!

Leave Beth, Jake, and little Fox some love in the comment box below!

In regard to my previous post, I wanted to show you all what exactly Millie was passionate about.  Over the next few posts, I'll give you a glimpse into Millie's loves.  I'm excited for you to see how she has grown and changed!

First, check this out.  Even though Mills left ballet behind, we couldn't pull her away from the stage if we tried.  If you've ever been around Millie for more than 5 minutes, you've seen her.  Stand-up comic, dancer, singer, hula-hooper, you name it, she can work it.  She loves performing, and doesn't even begin to understand the concept of stage fright.  Here are a few images from her first play from her school's Drama Club.  She rocked it as "Betty Jo", the sassy cowgirl.

Well, shame on me.  Shame on me, AGAIN.  I haven't blogged in so long that the admin section of the back-end of my blog LOGGED ME OUT.  That was {thisclose} to being as bad as someone slamming a door in my face and telling me I'm not welcome anymore.  But not really...because this is MY house.  So that whole comparison really doesn't work, now does it?  I digress.  Wouldn't want my blabbering on to distract from the preciousness that is little Miss Cozette

Cozette, along with her darling parents Bethany and Manny, lives next door.  I can't tell you how lovely it was to roll out of bed, get dressed, and walk right over to start the session.  We're talking dream-come-true status.  Even better?  When Cozette needed perking up, we just pulled Millie from her blueberry muffin to join us.  See, Cozette doesn't quite understand it yet (she's a baby...duh), but she's kind of obsessed with Mills...in a really good way.  They absolutely adore each other, so Mills made the PERFECT little assistant that morning.  That's my girl!

Here's the babe...a classic beauty with more personality in one little body than I've ever seen.  These are the pictures to prove it!

I was drinking my morning tea, and I thought, "You know what would make a fabulous start to my day? A little bit of Kate Mefford blog love!" Every photo -- you nailed it. Now the question is ... how do your neighbors fit all of these lovely photos on their walls? I would want at least a 20x30 of all of them!
