Remember the wind on May 17th? Think about the wind and four beautiful girls with lots of hair. Abbie’s cousins came here from the Quad cities to be photographed with her. We were all wind blown by the end of the day but I think it was worth it!

Kick Counting
May 29, 2008 – 2:24 pm
I didn’t want to mix this in with baby AJ’s post. Photographers all over the country share Kick Counting with their clients. One of our own lost her baby within hours of his scheduled C-Section and kick counting could have alerted doctors of a problem. So this post is for baby James.
AJ’s mom mentioned that she had noticed him moving less. Because he moved more after she ate, she always paid attention to his movements after dinner each day. It was during her routine checks of AJ that she notice the decline. After all the medical tests, it was determined that she needed to deliver AJ a little bit early.
If you are pregnant or know someone who is, be sure to read and understand kick counting. You can find more info at the link below - it could save your baby’s life.
AJ

AJ - Anthony Joseph - is one of the tiniest babies I have photographed. He wieghed 5lbs 12 oz when he was born so at 9 days old was about that.
I enjoy AJ’s mom who is a nurse practicioner (I hope I have that right Dawn!). AJ was a very calm newborn so she just sat while I photographed and asked lots of questions : )
Adorable Abbie

Abbie has a very special place in my heart. Her twin sister is Mackenzie who I have posted about before in Amazing Kids. Abbie and I love the same music and she gives some of the best hugs I know!
Abbie, I adore the sparkle in your eye and the spunk in your spirit. You make me smile!
Hopscotch
May 28, 2008 – 8:56 am
We were camping at Disney in March. I had a great perch on the campstore porch. I could check my email and watch Cole fish in the pond complete with an alligator in the middle. A perfect spot for both of us!
Painted on the sidewalk in front of me was a hopscotch court. I had the best time sitting there. Everyone who went by had to hopscotch, no one could resist. It didn’t matter their age, everyone did it. I truly loved it and the joy of watching the hoppers has come to my mind over and over since then. I am working on convincing my husband that we need to paint a hopscotch court on our sidewalk!!!
Here are my niece and nephew who are still modeling for me!
