jovi smashing a cake and being pretty darn cute.

this is my friend savannah’s baby.

(you might remember sav and her gorgeous family…)

and I really shouldn’t say that this is her baby..  miss jovi turned one, and well, we all know that my favorite thing in the world these days is a cake smash…

I am not sure, but I am fairly certain that I could have another baby, hope that her eyes are this gorgeous, and I would dress her up, feed her cake, and take pictures of her all.day.long.

yes, this was quite fun. 

don’t believe me?

well take a look…

(and pardon the picture overload.  you REALLY thought I could pin down my favorites to just a few?!)

dive baby!!!  dive!!!!

and this sequence, I just couldn’t resist…

aaaand, then we were done!

luke–cake smash

remember this sweet guy?

he is one.

(yes, sadly it happens to other people too.  I thought I was the only one who had children who are growing up way too fast.)

this kid was so much fun!!

he was awesome for his portraits, and totally cracked us up with his cake.  he simply couldn’t wait to dive into it.  he enjoyed every bite and lick.

love cake smashes!

(have I ever said that before?)

I joined a book club with my best friend this year.  we were invited by another friend.  we were a little scared at first, but it has been so much fun!  this little girl’s mom is one of the reasons it has been so fun.

luke

where has time gone?

he was just a baby too…

and he is still so stinking cute.

miss liana turned 1.

here’s a not so long ago baby turning one!!!
I will not start in on how it wasn’t that long ago..  but she was just a baby.

a promise is a promise.

I told you I would show you more of adorable luke and his adorable cousin…

and here’s your warning:

I could not narrow down her cake smash pictures.

try as I might, there are far too many that I love.

cake smashes are my new favorite!!  and I am a lucky girl because my last two have been with such sweet little girls.

     

besides having some of the cutest blue eyes, she had quite a sweet tongue:

but I had to share one of the top favorites for last:

seriously, just one more, pleeease merrill?

(I am shameless.)
