3 Years Old Pix | Julie Marie Portraits

I can't hardly believe that my first baby turned 3 this past Monday. It just amazes me as to how time flies the older I get! Anyway, Jake got his haircut tonight. When we got home, he grabbed his mower, and I grabbed my camera. I bribed him to smile at me with some chocolate kisses and told him to jump and run...of course he was more than willing to do that! These have got to be some of my favorite pix ever of him. They depict him to a T! He is my strong-willed, independent, loving little wild man that doesn't sit still unless he's reading a book or playing on the ipad. Oh, how I love him!!!

JET is 3 Months Old Today | Julie Marie Portraits | Chicago Children's Photographer

I can hardly believe that my little Johnny aka John John aka John Emerson is 3 months old today. He has brought us so much joy and happiness! He has the best personality...so happy, smiles so much and can be just as stubborn as his brother! We're still trying to get a nap routine down, but night time is going great! I, also, can't believe that he started rolling from his tummy to his back just today! Where is the time going....we need to slow it down just a bit! Aside from Johnny being 3 months old, we are preparing for Jakers to turn 3 very soon ...how can that be!

Big brother Jake is FINALLY enjoying his baby brother! He loves to talk to him and make him laugh!

And we love our Blabla dolls...thanks, Aunt Jiji!

Happy January | Julie Marie Portraits | Chicago Children's Photographer

Hope everybody is having a great January! We are enjoying our downtime so much along with all of our visitors that have been here! I really didn't have much to say except that I wanted to pop in to say hi and of course, post some pix of my boys! To give you an update, big brother Jake is starting to acknowledge his brother somewhat.....i guess the good thing is that Jake does not want to be near his brother, so he's not bothering him at all! However, I was able to get some funny pix of the two of them yesterday. Also, yesterday Johnny was 4 weeks....my how the time is flying!

One of my favorite blogs did a picture like this below for every week of her daughter. I, however, am going to do a monthly picture just to show how big he gets.

love, love, love this one...i'm not even sure what Jake is telling Johnny

and some fun pictures of my Jakers....2.5 years old and ornery as can be and so much fun!

Happy Birthday & Best Buds | Julie Marie Portraits | Chicago Children's Photographer

I just wanted to wish my dad a Happy, Happy Birthday tomorrow! We wish we could be there to celebrate with him, but we were lucky enough to have some birthday cake with him this past Monday! I can't even imagine what I'd do without him....he is the best dad without a doubt, and I owe him so much for all the help and work that he did for us this past week for our move (and my mom gets a shout out too for all the help)! We love you dad, and hope you have the best birthday!!

If you can't tell, Jakey loves his Papa! He's asked everyday this week if NanaPapa were coming to our new home when daddy got home from work, too!
