Birthday Photo Shoot and Stuff.....

Don't you love all my technical quirky titles that include "and stuff"

So yesterday Makily had her "I'm Five" photo shoot. She's gorgeous. Really the kid looks like a doll. My friend Chontee and I went to duck pond and took pics. Well she took pics and I danced around like a fool singing Happy Birthday trying to get smiles.

I made a total ass of myself.

Not the first time I assure you.

When we came home Makily was sleepy so I set her up on the couch and she took a nap, I got some really nice shots of her sleeping. I know I am partial but some of the photos she does not even look "real" to me, she looks like a doll. I have heard that SO many times in the past from other people too.

I'll put the pics at the end of this post.

This year we are doing Makily's birthday differently. Usually we have the huge party with a bounce house and all kinds of other crap. Makily could care less about any of it. We decided to make this year ONLY about things that SHE would enjoy. It's about her and no one else. So we are having a small "open house" with cake (Spongebob of course)this weekend for family.

This is the cake, is it to die for or what? Daddy picked it out and ordered it on his own. It's got strawberry filling. Daddy rocks.



Seriously our friends and family would all shoot me if we didnt at least have something that they could come see Doodles, bring her presents and love on her. Then next weekend we are buying passes to Wild Waters / Silver Springs and spending the day at the park. Makily loves the water, it's good for her and so it's the perfect gift. The passes for BOTH parks are only like $50 that's for the entire year. Totally worth it since we will go so much and it's literally less than five miles from our house.

So here are the pictures of my big girl on her big day.

The "awake" park pictures were taken by Chontee and all the sleeping pictures were taken by me here at the house.

She's beautiful.



She really has an angel face, I love this one.


The infamous "squint, squint"


Cute one, we could not keep her straps up, her little shoulders are so low tone!


Emanuel Syndrome hands......it's amazing to me that all these children just LOVE their hands....Makily used to be obsessed. The older she gets the less she does it but she used to have NO interest in anything but those sweet hands of hers.


Doll Baby


Look at the little "dimple".


BIG GIRL!



The bow (not the clippy that's ebay) in her hair by the way was made by another Emanuel Syndrome mom. Jen, that bow is so special to me and I think of you and Jackson each time I look at it.

A nap (she looks like a doll in this one)


She's got great hair


I couldnt get this one unblurred, i like it anyways


"Flintstone Feet"


Too perfect to be real.
