Sweet Peyla Pearl

Just a few random pictures from the last week. As an update- Peyla will turn 7 months this week! At her 6-month well check she weighed in at 14 lbs 4 oz and 26 in long! We can't believe how quickly time is passing so we soak her up every day!

A Day in the Park

We took Peyla to the green belt and went for a long walk in search of ducks! We had a great time with her and it was a beautiful day in AZ. Even shared a little gelato on the walk home. That's on the New Year's diet, right??

she was squealing in delight!

"mommy, why do you always have that thing in my face?"

More pics from the new camera!

My Muse

I got a great new camera for Christmas and am taking a photography workshop in a few weeks! Of course I have made Peyla my own little muse. :) She sits wonderfully for the camera...I think she is fascinated by it. Here's a few of many!

Peyla's 1st Christmas

We had a wonderful time celebrating Peyla's first Christmas! It was such a joy to experience the season with her and it renewed the sense of innocence that this time of year used to bring for me.

Do they look alike or what?
I caught Peyla under the mistletoe!
