Almost 2!

Kian turns two on Sunday. Hard to believe it was just two years ago that we brought him home and wondered at this tiny person who at once seemed completely foreign and totally familiar. Now he can tell us what he wants. Lately, the thing I hear him say the most is "I do it!" Yesterday, Kian's grandma and I took him to Toys R Us where he got to choose a special toy. The whole way there he kept exclaiming "special toy" because I had prepped him for the reason for our trip. Grammy bought him a little green riding motorcycle that makes revving sounds, and plays a really annoying song. He loves it, though. And you know what they say...if they're happy, you're happy.
I took a few pictures of him outside of the store where there was this great yellow grid of windows and a fantastic blue wall. Here are two of my favorites.

Sunny day

It's February, the slow time. What can I say...if only the weather would be like it is today for a couple of weeks, I might be able to schedule some shoots. For now, we're waiting.

Kian's birthday is coming up next weekend. Can't believe he's going to be 2! He's saying so many words and phrases now, it's so fun to watch his progress.

I will try to post some photos tonight. I've been laying low lately trying to get that table done. So far I've got the practice stuff done under one of the chairs. I decided to go with watercolor which actually works really well on wood, believe it or not. The woodburner is up and running and I've got a set of 18 watercolors which should be plenty. I've got a few designs drawn in pencil and the whole concept is starting to take shape. Talk about blank canvas jitters. I felt so much better when I drew the sun in the middle of the table. After that I though "I can do this!"

Happy almost (almost) spring. I know we're a month off, but hey, the crocuses are blooming and I'm starting to see more birds and buds starting on the trees. Signs of hope that this long, cold winter is on its way out.
