After a fun morning in school celebrating with her class, Joe and I took Tara Lu out to dinner for her absolute favorite - pizza!
Before heading out we had a little cake and she opened her gifts.
Our Baby is growing up!!
I have never thought much of Valentine's Day ... ridiculously over priced roses and another occassion for Hallmark to sell cards. However I cannot help but look back over Tara's three Valentine's Days so far !!
Here she is in 2005, age 11 weeks with Valentina the Bear.(click on photos for larger version)
In 2006, age 15 months
And 2007, age 26 months - tried to take the same photo, but the only one cooperating was Valentina! Will spare you those photos. Here she is receiving roses from Daddy :-)
Hope you all enjoyed celebrating Valentine's Day as much as we did. Love is a beautiful thing.
... is typically filled with a lot of fun and silliness!! Such as playing, while eating breakfast, watching 'Go Diego Go' in a fleece winter Jester hat! Of course she insisted on wearing the hat which I will hopefully get her to take off before we head out this morning. It is a lovely, mild 67F going up to 81F outside!!
More on Tara's day later .... Have a good one!
Here is the reason the majority of Tara's recent photos are of her having breakfast in the morning ~ because it is really difficult to shoot a moving target! She is in constant motion! So when an opportunity rolls around, like breakfast, when she is usually mesmerized by 'Dora The Explorer', I run for the camera and snap a few shots.
Prime examples - here she is balancing on her chair (I missed my chance to take the ones of her standing, backwards in the chair - was too afraid she would fall and stayed near) just moments after these peaceful photos were taken!!
Hard to believe that Tara will be turning two so soon! Looking back at her newborn photos and those taken her first few months, the change in her is staggering! We were told by many who have raised children to cherish every moment as they grow up so quickly - and they could not be more correct in stating that.
My next project is to start posting photos from Tara's day one, maybe some from even before that - my Belly pictures!
So please stay tuned for updates, they should be coming to our website soon.
Photo of Tara hours old - taken by proud Daddy. To this day his favorite photo of Tara Luanne.
