Jen went to Gannon with my biffle, Ayren. So she is my biffle's biffle =]

 

Noah came into the world in April a VERY large baby, and cute as the dickens!

 

Jen & Chris are extremely fortunate to have sweet Noah in their lives. 

 

While his Grammy was watching him, he had a SIDS attack and thankfully

Grammy went in to check on him. 

 

After MANY loooong days and nights at Children's in Pittsburgh, 

Noah was finally allowed to come home! 

 

Everyday is still an uphill battle for both Noah and his parents.

 

There have been celebrations and set backs throughout his young life,

but he continues to make progress. =] *And I root for you

every day!!*

 

I know that God will perform many miracles throughoutNoah's life time. 

 

Noah, you are truly a gift from God. Do not let your illnesses get in the way of what you

want to do with your life. Your parents are two tough cookies and it would mean

everything in the world to them when you finally wrap your arms around their

neck for a sweet sweet baby hug. 

Hannah turns one! | Portrait Photographer, Monroe Files Photography State College, PA

Who is SUPER behind in blogging? THIS girl! It's tough work trying to find time to blog with a full time job, plus photography, plus Thirty One Gifts business, plus a husband and an extremely active two year old ! Then throw in remodeling the house and putting it up on the market for sale...it's down right pure craziness!

Hopefully things are a little more calm around here...so let's get caught up, shall we?

Meet Miss Hannah. Hannah Banana. Hanner Nanner.

Who quite possibly be, the cutest black kitty last Halloween.

 

It's hard to believe you turned one so fast...

 

But it's even harder to believe you are turning TWO in a few short weeks! 

Hailey's two year portraits | Portrait Photography Monroe Files Photography Rockton, PA

Hailey's first birthday she was in this same chair but wearing a tutu =]

I love her lip she's biting on.

Totally excited for her birthday coming up!

And YES she's a wild woman!

Hailey wasn't too sure of the wishing well...

...so we put stinky in there with her. (Who thought it was tons of fun!)

I believe she was singing "Ring around the rosie".

That song provides HOURS of entertainment, much to Dad's dismay!

Tea party with Dolly

Ooh Doodlebug, I can't believe you are TWO! And now so close to three.

The time seriously flies by and I can't wait to see what the future holds

for you!

Hailey turns 2! | Monroe Files Photography Rockton, PA

What does a two year old need for an awesome birthday?

Peanut butter fudge lady bugs on cup cakes!

(They were DELISH by the way!)

Cutest two year old I know, look at those dimples!

And that's one GIANT cup cake!

After singing "Happy Birthday" Hailey's cousins made a beeline for the cupcakes!

Lily was more excited to make noises with the balloons!

Drooling black mess =] Love her!

PRESENTS!

Cool chic! Shades for Savannah, GA

Anxiously waiting for the Easter bunny to arrive...



Lily Christmas Portraits | Baby Child Photographer Monroe Files Photography DuBois, PA

Miss Lily's Christmas photos. Her hair has grown so much since December. Only 5 months ago she was just learning to sit up on her own...now she's taking 2 and 3 steps at a time. Plus the Easter Bunny brought her first tooth! *tear* Where does the time go? In a month and a half my sweet baby girl will cdelebrate her first birthday!

She's such a stinker. She was full of energy and Mom was working with a quarter of a tank thanks to a killer head cold. She was just getting into her very curious stage so she was fingering everything! 

Her legs look like a baby dolls legs. She sits goofy even without the help of a chair. 

She comes by it honestly, Scott and I ALWAYS sit on our legs or have one

curled up underneath of us.  

Merry Christmas Snoopy! 

I can't decide if I like this one or the following image more! Her outfit was

hand made by a lovely woman whom I had met at St. Catherine's Craft Bazaar in

October. I could have bought her whole table, her stuff was so cute! 

My precious girl, getting so big right before our eyes!

These are the days I wish life had a pause button.

Rock Lobster | Baby Photographer Monroe Files Photography DuBois, PA

My originial vision for this didn't work out, BUT these are still too cute! Jabroni, our dachshund, has a lobster Halloween costume and I REALLY REALLY wanted to get both Jabroni in a pot and Lily in a pot. Guess what? I under estimated how LONG Jabroni is. His pot was bigger than Lily's.

PLEASE NOTE: NO BABIES WERE HARMED BEFORE, DURING OR AFTER THESE PHOTOGRAPHS. Thank you!

My little Cabbage Patch kid!

She was having a blast looking around the kitchen.

It isn't every day you get to hang out on the stove!

Pretty sure this is the face all lobsters make!

She cracks me up =) I just love her so much! 

Kalen is one! | Child Photographer Monroe Files Photography DuBois, PA

I met Kalen's Momma when she was in the bridal party of a wedding I photographed two years ago. Last year, I was surprised to see them as guests at a different wedding I photographed. Kalen's Daddy made the comment, "Where did Gabby go? And like a theft in the night she snuck around snapping pictures!" LOL! Kalen was just a little tyke then and now he's working on his soccer skills and rocking the 'hawk!

The next David Beckham



What a sweet face!

Can't even handle the cute!! I bet this is what the Fonz looked like when he was one!

Typical boy, loving his cars!

For the record, Kalen made me WORK! This little guy was on to me from the second we pulled all his toys out of the car and put them in a heap in the grass. I'd run in front of him and he would do a 180 and start walking away. I pulled out all the stops trying to get him to smile. Not. Having. It. And here I thought I was the next Molly Shannon. Apparently, what works for a 2 month old, isn't quite to snuff when it comes to a one year old!

See more of Kalen!

Hailey turns 1! | Children Photographer Monroe Files Photography

I can't believe my niece Hailey is turning one! Seriously, where did the year go?!

Here are the pictures I took for her birthday party invites.

We'll have trouble on our hands if Lily follows in her cousin Hailey's footsteps! =)

Couldn't decide between black and white or color. Love them both!

I'm one!!

Showin' off all that tutu!

And those teefers!

Total ham, posing straight to her toes!

=) tutu and baby feet. Doesn't get any cuter!

Ok, maybe the whole back side is just as cute!

Happy Birthday Doodle bug! Can't wait to eat cake on Sunday!
