Chocolate Ice Cream Cone Song

Reed's Kath sang the Chocolate Ice Cream Song to him while we were in Colorado and he absolutely loved it.  Chris and I weren't able to recall the words when he requested that we sing it for him last week, so we had to give Kath a call.  She sang it for him a few times and he hasn't stopped singing it since.  He is super adorable singing it!!  Just in case you can't understand what he is saying, he is singing the part of the song bolded below.  This song is circa 1930s and Kathy learned it from her mother, Reed's great grandmother, MawMaw.

Chocolate Ice Cream Cone Song

My mama said if I'd be good,
She'd send me to the store
She said she'd make some gingerbread
If I would sweep the floor


She said if I would make the bed
And mind the telephone
That she would send me out to buy
A chocolate ice cream cone


And so I did the things she said
And then she made the gingerbread
Then I went out, just me alone
And bought a chocolate ice cream cone


While coming back I stumped my toe
On a great big rock
Now need I tell you that I dropped
My chocolate ice cream cone


A little doggie came along
And took a great big lick
And so I hit that mean old dog
With just a little stick


Then he bit me where I sit down
And he chased me all over down
And now I'm lost, can't find my home
And all because of my chocolate ice cream cone

Thomas J. - 3 Months

My friend Alison asked me to take some pictures of her adorable baby boy Thomas last week.  The lighting wasn't great, it was actually raining out, but we did get some good shots of Thomas J., as he is known by his family.  Thomas J. was such a trooper during the shoot that occurred during his nap.  He was so tired from exerting so much cuteness that he fell asleep in Alison's arms as I was packing up to go.  I certainly applied my lessons learned from my previous shoot with Grace, and I think we ended up with some good photos of Thomas J.  Enjoy!!

Look at those eyes!

The pics below are a little bright, but they were too cute not to share.  Hazel/green eyes don't normally pop in photos like blue eyes do, but I think I finally snagged a few shots that show his precious eyes!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Yesterday I baked sugar cookies, we iced them, and Reed helped decorate the cookies by adding some sprinkles.  I'd say he had a good time!

Examining the sprinkles.  And, just in case you didn't know, a cowboy hat is necessary for any inside-the-home activity.

He wasn't shy at all about adding sprinkles.

"Get another one!"

Sprinkles are yummy!

Not sure if he got enough sprinkles on this one.

Good tasty!!
