Mommy & Me Shoot

In September, a friend from high school came down for our 10 year HS reunion (yes, I am getting that old) from Arizona. He happens to be a professional photographer and he happens to be amazing at it. I could not pass up the opportunity to have a family shoot with him. Unfortunately, Randy happened to get sick that very morning! so it ended up being a Mommy & Me shoot instead! This actually worked out perfect, being behind the camera 95% of the time, I rarely have any pictures of Hailey & myself.

So without further a do, here are the photos courtesy of Larry Reeves Photography

Fun at the Park!

We went to the park this morning and I took the opportunity to practie with my new lens! Hailey loved playing in the sawdust. She kept scooping up handfuls and piling it on the slide!

Disneyland!!

Hailey is walking!!!

I have been a bad blogger.

Hailey has been walking unassisted for about 2 weeks. I promise to get a good video and upload the one I have of her first unassisted steps!

October 15th: Pregnancy & Infant Loss Rememberance Day

October 15th is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day in the United States. Each year, over half a million dreams are shattered. Out of 3.3 million born alive, some 30,000 die during the first 28 days. Another 39,000 babies are still born. Miscarriage occurs in fifteen to twenty percent of pregnancies, while ectopic pregnancy occurs in one percent.

More than 25,000 children are stillborn in the United States every year leaving mothers, entire families and communities devastated. Estimates of the rate of occurrence of stillbirth make it at least as common as autism.

On October 15th, remember the thousands of unfinished children lost and the families who remain to grieve them. Honor them by taking action.
