Stinkin’ Cute Baby Pumpkin Pictures

I found the coolest idea for a fall time baby picture on Pinterest. I knew when I saw it I HAD to try it out. We found a huge pumpkin at WinCo and today we got to try it out. Surprisingly the baby loved being in the pumpkin, chewing on it and smiling like crazy!

She was super cooperative and we got a ton of great shots. Here are some of the best ones.

She was either chewing on the pumpkin…

She did not mind being carried from one location to the other. It was so funny watching Jacob carrying the baby around the yard.

I thought she was getting a little upset but Bella did a little dance and she started grinning.

She was so good! I love our baby!!

 

I love this one so much. I am going to print it in black and white and frame it.

All in all I would say this was one of the most fun, cutest picture sessions we have done with Ginny. What do you think??

Iyla’s 3rd Birthday

I know I know her birthday we back in August but I am finally getting around to blogging about it.

We started the day with orange pancakes. Iyla’s favorite color at the moment is orange so that was the basic theme for the day

I put candles in her stack of pancakes and we sang “Happy Birthday” to her. She loved it!

 

 

 

We had a small party in the back yard. Everything was orange!
