Stinson: Party of Four

Attempting to Photograph an Infant

2011-04-09T11:09:00.002-05:00

I have learned that photographing an infant is not as easy as it seems. You would think that since she is not mobile yet, that she would sit there and I could snap away! Easy peasy....think again! She looks every which way, squirms until she is slouched down in an awkward position, and flails her arms and legs around at blurring speeds! I end up with 100+ photos that are not "frame worthy" but still pretty entertaining. Here are a few of the out-takes :)

It's been too long....

2011-03-09T13:37:00.005-06:00

So, I can think of a million reasons why I haven't kept up with this little project. The only real reason is that I just haven't blogged. Instead, I just post pics to facebook and consider that my update. I would like to get back to updating here so I can go back and look at my posts as sort of a scrapbook so I'll remember what life was like with 2 little children. Lets see how long I can keep up with blogging this time...

OK, since I last posted, I have grown and delivered another little human and I have enjoyed her for two months. She is amazing and beautiful and has the most scrumptious little fat rolls. :) She is such a good baby and we are so very blessed to have her in our little family. Oh yeah, we named her Anna-Claire Elizabeth Stinson. Yes, I realize that she may have a little difficulty learning to write all of that down, but we like it and it seems to fit her perfectly.

Her birth was the most euphoric experience of my life to date. Leaps and bounds better than her brother's terrifying birth that ended in me being knocked out for an emergency c-section. We headed to the hospital for 10:00 on December 28th for our induction. They started inducing me at midnight on the 29th. She was born after just about 15 minutes of pushing at 3:03 p.m. weighing in at 8 pounds and 20 inches even (a pound heavier than they had estimated). Would you like to meet her? Of course you would! :)

Fresh out of the oven. Our first good look at her.

Getting checked out

Family of four :)

Heading home :)

Life is finally starting to feel normal again. Jared tells his baby sister that he loves her every chance that he gets. We have tackled potty training Jared because I can only handle so much poop in one day! Maybe I will post all of Anna-Claire's weekly and monthly photos I have taken so far. That will have to be another post. I am off to take her 10 week photo and enjoy this beautiful day!

Grits, Motorcycles, and Deck Rails...Oh My!

2010-02-24T10:55:00.001-06:00

Between LASIK surgery, snow days, jewelry shows, Valentine's day, and birthdays I have had little time to blog! I have, however, taken a few pictures. I am having a lot of fun figuring out my camera and playing with the different more manual settings. Here are a few of my better shots:

This one day, Jared like cheese grits!
Didn't like them before, and hasn't liked them since.
This day he DEVOURED them!

Katie (or "Tee" as Jared calls her) gave Jared a few tips on riding his harley!

Frank (or "Fwhy") and Ryan fixed the tool box on Frank's truck while the kids played.

This day, Ryan and Frank put up railings on our deck and Jared and Katie "helped"

They love each other!

A Walk in the Park

2010-01-23T11:14:00.001-06:00

We have seriously missed this weather! After Lunch yesterday, Jared and I took a little walk through the neighborhood (camera in hand, of course!) and ended up in the park.

Jared discovered that he is not quite tall enough, nor coordinated enough to manage the big kid swings!

But he is just the right height to walk under the slide!

Yay for the park!

Except he doesn't like dirty hands...this from the baby who eats hair!

Today, we are not as lucky. It is nasty and gloomy out; so we are staying indoors. We will be praying for better weather tomorrow!!

Christmas Season: 2009

2010-01-15T13:02:00.001-06:00

Good bye, 2009! We had a whirlwind Christmas season; I barely had time to capture it on camera! Here is what I did catch:

Peer Pressure

2010-01-02T09:57:00.000-06:00

I can already hear him whinning, "But MOM! All my friends use them!!!"

...and when I took the noonie away...

*** Coming Soon: CHRISTMAS PICTURES!!

Healthy...What's That Like?

2009-09-15T13:15:00.000-05:00

We have all been sick around here. It started a week ago when we went to Ruston/Jonesboro/Vicksburg for Labor Day weekend. Jared started with his wheezing and coughing quickly followed by me getting the flu (or something like it). Jared went to the doctor on Wednesday and was put on an antibiotic and nebulizer treatments. I went to see a nurse practitioner on Thursday who I will not be returning to see for any future medical needs. He walked in the room and informed me that, after 3 days of high temperatures, I could possibly have the flu, a viral infection, or a bacterial infection (what else is there?!) and left after maybe 2 minutes. I am feeling much better now and seem to be almost back to normal. Jared's wheezing has almost completely gone away, too. Ryan is still a little congested, but he seems to be getting better, too. I have a few pictures to share; but, with all the sickness, photo sessions have been few and far between.

This is the reason it has been so long since I have posted anything. I have been shuffling through a years worth of photos, editing them, and organizing them on pages with captions. It is FINALLY FINISHED!!! I had exactly 27 minutes to spare before the 20% off AND the free shipping offers ended when I hit the final order button...whew! I hope it turns out ok!

Makes me cry a little :)

2009-08-06T08:31:00.000-05:00

I found this video file and wasn't sure what it was. When I opened it, it made me cry!

Ryan took this video while I was still in recovery from my c-section so I could see him. He kept running back and forth with pictures, but I had forgotten about this video. He is growing up so fast :(

Running Around!

2009-07-30T09:35:00.000-05:00

Here is a new video of Jared! As you can see/hear, her is walking and talking :).
His favorite words right now are "Pweeee" (please) and "Daaah-du" (Thank you).

Meet My New BFF: PHOTOSHOP

2009-07-23T22:16:00.000-05:00

My sophomore year in college I took a class on graphic design software. Out of it I took nothing! I am learning more now, 7 years later, than I did in the pricey class at the age of 19! After reading MckMama's blog entry on making you photos "old" I am so loving Photoshop!

This is the before picture taken of Ella Ann and Jared:

...and THIS is after I doctored it up some:

I think the second one turned out quite a bit better. I am now on a photoshop binge...I love it!!

Happy First Birthday Jared (Recap)

2009-07-15T11:36:00.000-05:00

What a busy week! Jared's birthday festivities are finished down here in Baton Rouge. We still have his little celebration in Vicksburg once Ryan's parents come back from Hawaii in a few weeks. We had a blast visiting with everyone who came to Jared's party this past weekend! Jared is becoming less and less baby everyday... he is such a big boy! Here are some of his recent new "tricks":

He says "Plee, Plee" (please, please) when he wants something and once you give him what he is asking for he responds "Dah-du!" (thank you)
He RUNS
He climbs on higher and higher surfaces every time I turn around... he is quite the dare devil!
When you ask him a question such as "Who is______? Raise your hand!" He gets a huge grin on his face and puts his hand up.
He repeats the names of his favorite foods back when you ask if he wants them banana=nah-nah, juice=duice
He loves to pretend he is talking on the phone and says "hey!" in a high-pitched tone.

He loves to give "kisses" His version is opening his mouth as wide as possible and putting it against your cheek while saying "awwww"

Here are the pictures of his parties:

This was taken at exactly 6:09 p.m. on July 8th

His big party on Sunday, July 12th:

His cake display of Danielle and my homemade cupcakes!

"Presleigh, make a silly face to get Jared to laugh"

Kaylin was the life of the party!

Kaylin was helping me open presents and would squeal with delight at the first glimpse of the box under the wrapping...before seeing what it actually was!

Jared just wanted his cake...no more pictures!

So much for me tasting this cake!

SJA girls :)

La Tech friends!

More La Tech friends!

Siblings :)

Cool Dude

What a cute picture...untill Jared sneezes!

This one's better...he loves Auntie Dan!!

Tuckered out!

One Year Goes By So Fast!

2009-07-07T18:42:00.000-05:00

My, oh, my! Where has the time gone? My precious baby boy turned 1-year-old yesterday at 6:09 p.m.! This has been, by far, the best year of my life. Jared is suck a fantastic baby...I am so lucky! Here are some pictures of his first year with us :)

Pitocin...check! Epidural...check!

Life Lately

2009-06-29T11:31:00.000-05:00

We have been in the midst of a deck project. Ryan has been working like a mad man to get the deck on the back of the house before Jared's birthday. Jared has been walking up a storm! He walks around with his hands up in the air as if to say, "Look Mom, No hands!" He also likes to climb! He is pretty much completely off of baby food and eats mostly table food now!

This is the aftermath of the first taste of advacadoes...
As you can see, they were a hit (just not the cleaning up part)!

This is his new smile...melts my heart!

Cutie Katelyn :)

She is such a "little Mommy" to Jared!

She loves to pose!

It was only a matter of time before he stole Aunt Kathryn's glasses

The beginning of the deck project!

Ryan passed his P.E.!!!
He is now a certified Engineer!
This was his first engineering masterpiece...certified and stamped!

Katelyn came to spend the night and we had fun in the pool!
I don't think Jared quit laughing the whole time he was in tehre with her!

She can put her face under water!

Jared got into his goldfish before I could stop him and dumped them all over the floor!
The lighting was too good to pass up a few photos!

It's making a lot of progress!
Just a little more floor to go and some rails and we will be ready!

The deck boards are going to cover the existing concrete slab and go all the way to the house the whole way across.

Jared, How Old Are You Gonna Be?

2009-06-17T22:03:00.000-05:00

Aloha :) (Part 1)

2009-06-17T18:56:00.000-05:00

***After a second look at this post once I had posted it, i realized that blogger cropped all of the pictures. If you click on them you can see the full version.***

Whew! How is it that a week in Hawaii takes TWO weeks to recover from? We are finally getting back into the swing of things. Ryan has been working diligently on the deck on the back of the house for Jared's birthday party. I am pretty impressed with him! Especially when my car said it was 104 degrees here today!! Anyway, here are the first half of our pictures from Hawaii. We had a blast! Maui is incredibly beautiful!

On the plane from L.A. to Maui...almost there!!

We watched the sun come up on our first morning there since we were up at 3:00 a.m. Hawaii time!! I figured it was a prefect chance for a photo shoot :)

Which way to the gun show?

Ryan about to go kayaking on our second day there.

Right after I took this last picture of them going out into the ocean...we realized the van wouldn't start!

Another perfect oportunity for a photo shoot :)

STRANDED!!!

First time to touch sand EVER!

They were boogey boarding!

After tasting a few handfulls of sand...yuck!

A Forgotten Post

2009-05-21T09:18:00.000-05:00

Oops! This unfinished blogposthas been sitting in my blog file as a draft for a week or 2! So sorry! I went to post some Hawaiian pics and give an update and I stumbled upon it. Enjoy these pics. :)

Nothing like a little impromptu photo shoot when Da-da's building a fence :)

This is our new game...Jaed likes to kiss me through the baby gate :)

He also likes to climb and sit under things. We call these Jared's "forts"

Patty-Cake Patty-Cake...

Roll-em up!....

Roll-em up!

Just a Really Cute Video :)

2009-05-17T13:59:00.000-05:00

I have been slacking on the picture-taking lately. We are running around trying to get everything ready for Hawaii (we leave in 11 days!!!) I did find where Ryan hid my small digital camera, so I captured all of Jared's newest tricks on video! Enjoy :)

A First (Forced) Haircut and a Happy Mother's Day

2009-05-10T18:40:00.000-05:00

A lot has happened since the last post. We went and had Jared's hair fixed on Thursday...he no longer has a mullet! We went to a place called "Pigtails and Crewcuts." It's an adorable childrens's hair salon. They have special chairs for the younger kids to sit in shaped like an airplane, an antique car, and a firetruck. As you can see below, Jared chose the firetruck complete with bell :) After we got his haircut Jared and I had some extra time and stopped by the LSU lakes and took some pictures on a dock. It was a little hard to do by myself so all of the pics were pretty up close because I didnt't want to move too far away from him. We got a few pretty cute ones anyway. On Saturday, Ryan, Jared and I took a trip to the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans as a little mother;s day celebration. Some of the animals got pretty close to us, much to Jared's delight! So here are the pictures of all of this:

Before they cut

Deciding he doesn't like it so much afterall!

I started ringing the bell

We had to resort to a baby cookie.

All done! Such a handsome lil' man!

This thing (not sure what it was) came right up by us!

Can't remember what this was but Jared was interested...

A Weekend in Ruston

2009-05-06T17:37:00.000-05:00

I really need to get better at posting pictures! I have been a little slow with the posting since my laptop started acting up! Well This is another HUGE picture post. We went to the "Seize the Day: Walk/Run for Epilepsy" weekend before last and this past weekend we went to Ruston for the Delta Chi crawfish boil. While we were there for that we managed to squeeze in some family time with the Hands and the Stinsons!! Here are the pictures from both weekend and everythingg in between...enjoy!

This is the only way he would keep his hat on!

Team Sarah...well some of us :)

I just thought this picture of Katelyn was too cute!

Yummy S'getti with Cheese...the baby food version, of course!

My first attempt at feeding myself with my special spoon...not very successful!

So much for a bowl with a suction cup bottom preventing spills!

I love natural light!!!

Even though the germ freak in me was screaming about him chewing on the door stopper, I couldn't help but to take a few pics...it was too cute!!

Tug-of-war over the stopper...play time over!

Jared is sad because his new toy is back attached to the wall!

I know this looks really gross...but I think this was the world's BIGGEST crawfish tail!!
Yes, I eat crawfish with latex gloves on...I have to deal with a 9-month-old who doesn't appreciate spicy fingers!

Jared got stuck trying to climb over the corner of this table...my first instinct was to grab the camera...a close second was to help him out!

Off to Ruston!!!

...10 minutes later...

Jared found one of Uncle Frank's old toys!

Hanging out with his Great-grandmother :)

Jared's new b.f.f. ...SETH!

Aunt "Juju"

Sunday With and John came to visit...Jared missed y'all!!

This is a prime example of what I like to call "Hurricane Jared"

Making sure Abby didn't run away!

Jared can take a few steps behind his new toy. He can even hold on and jump!
He still prefers to crawl though.

After Ryan decided to cut his hair without telling me he was doing so!
I caught his early on...he had only used the clippers to trim over his right ear.

Today...Just being cute :) :

Splish-Spalsh

2009-04-29T10:25:00.000-05:00

Jared is loving his pool now! He gets in his floaty and plays with his toys. Here are some pictures of Jared and Ryan in his kiddie pool the other day.

I Saved the Card Reader!!!

2009-04-22T10:45:00.000-05:00

So after I posted the last post about the death of my memory card reader, I decided to give it one last inspection. After a few pushes and pulls, I FIXED IT!!! I will not leave it on the side table anymore! Now for the update on the bambino!

EASTER:

Ready for the hunt!

Melissa and Brooks

Jared and Sarah

I love those cheeks!

Jared and his Aunt Kathryn and Aunt Sarah

I found a prize egg...it had $10 in it!!!

Jared picked up his own egg!
He was so proud!!

Getting another one!

Making sure no candy was left behind to get mowed over!

This was Zach's golden egg prize...he was so happy!

Jared and Melissa

Katelyn racked up with THREE prize eggs!!

April 14th:

Dancing and beat boxing with Daddy!

Peek-a-boo, Dada!!

I see you!!

I got YOUR nose, Dada!

We finally got our LA license plates!!

April 16th:

April 22nd:

Jared woke up in an amazing mood this morning...at 6:40!!! Not fun for Mommy, but that's what coffee's for, right? He was cracking me up with his facial expressions. He "cruises" around furniture. I'm sure he'll be walking pretty soon! Also, yesterday his Papa (my Daddy) taught him how to say "Uh-oh!" It's pretty cute!!

So silly!

This is one of my favorites!!

He kept losing his pants and he has a "shushy puff" stuck to his booty too!

My Son Ate My Memory Card Reader

2009-04-22T08:17:00.001-05:00

Sorry about the lack of updates! I saw Jared grab my memory card reader the other day and before I could get it tom him he bit it and bent the USB plug down! I have not been able to find a new one yet. I keep forgetting about it when I go to Wally World so maybe I will actually remember today!

First Swim & a 9-Month Birthday

2009-04-09T09:37:00.001-05:00

Spring is in the air...well it was last week! Winter gave it's farewell cold snap the last couple of days but we are back to using the air conditioner now. Sunday we were able to pull out Jared's pool and try it out. He LOVED it...until he got hungry and then he insisted on getting out! What can I say? The boy likes his food! Yesterday Jared turned 9-months-old! The time is going by too fast! I wish I had a slow-mo button I could press! Say a prayer for us...we are supposed to FINALLY close on our house tomorrow at 10:00. It needs to happen this time! It only took 6 months to get everything straightened out thanks to our wonderful economy!

Jared and "Da-da" in the pool

Getting a little daring ....

He wasn't feeling so well last night!

Feeling better this morning!

How could anybody say no to that face?!?!

Videos Galore

2009-04-05T11:23:00.000-05:00

I have been slacking on posting videos of all of Jared's new tricks...here are some recent ones. Enjoy :)

So Jared is no such a big fan of the Gerber Graduates Chicken Sticks!

Jared clapping for himself saying "Yaaaayyy"

Waving and clapping for American Idol (on the tv)

Aloha, Pops!

2009-04-05T10:08:00.000-05:00

Another busy week has gone by! We went to work at my dad's office a couple of days and spent the rest of the week preparing for a visit from Ryan's parents (Nana and Pops to Jared). Jared is also climbing now! There are some pictures below of him climbing into his favorite laundry basket of stray socks :) We ended the week with a visit from Nana and Pops yesterday. Mr. David is heading to Hawaii where he will be working for the next six months. He flew out of NOLA and spent the evening with us to get some hugs and kisses to last him the next two months until he gets to see Jared again. They brought Jared his Easter "basket"/bucket. He got lots of sand toys which will be perfect for playing in the park behind our house. I am going to keep you up to date on everything Jared, Mr. David! :) Aloha!!

Yay, Jared!! He loves to clap for himself :)

These are the pictures of Jared climbing.
We didn't get the camera in time to catch him getting in :(

He decided he didn't like it so much once he got in.

Maybe one smile won't hurt!

Jared's Easter bucket from Nana and Pops!

Aloha, Pops! We'll miss you!

New Tricks

2009-04-01T12:59:00.000-05:00

Jared has learned a few new tricks. He will wave "hey" and clap for himself and say "yay!" He also spits which is cute...for now. I am sure we should stop encouraging this last one because it won't be so funny before too long! He is so much fun, though :)

Jared and Katelyn

KISSES!!

Clapping, "Yay, Jared!"

A Weekend in Vicksburg

2009-03-25T09:52:00.000-05:00

Whew! This week has flown by! Jared and I have been battling our sinuses all week. We both seem to be almost back at 100%! Being sick surely hasn't held Jared back much. He is now attempting to CLIMB!! (see video at the end of this post) Here are a few pictures from last week as well as last weekend while we were in Vicksburg.

Jared and Ryan decided to play in the neighborhood park behind our house.

WEEEEEE!!!

Peek-a-boo!

Did I mention that Jared is into EVERYTHING?
He can make quite a mess!

He likes to grab his highchair and push it back and forth.

This was the view we woke up to Saturday Morning.
Connie and David let us stay at their AMAZING cabin.
Ryan and I kept sayinghow we didn't feel like we were still in Vicksburg!

These two slept in...as usual.
I was up and showered before they even stirred!
Jared actually slept until almost 9:00!!!
He liked the cabin too :)

Kristin, Ella Ann, and Jared played in the bouncy.

Getting ready to put some mudbugs on to boil!

Jared was SOOO excited to see Logan!

PLAY BALL!!

So, I leave this laundry basket with a towel and some odd socks in the den because Jared is so facinated by them. This is Jared attempting to climb in the basket with them.

Jared can now wave too!

Jared's First Trip to the Zoo...Plus Other Stuff

2009-03-17T17:33:00.000-05:00

We have been so busy lately! Jared's Nana (Ryan's mother) came in to visit Monday and today went to the Baton Rouge Zoo. Jared had a great time and especially liked seeing the miniature donkeys, giraffes, and cheetahs! Here are some pictures from Sunday and our zoo trip today.

Jared LOVES Abby!

Kisses for Abby!

Happy man!

"Daddy, are you teething? 'Cuz this really helps...you should try it!"

Jared loves his Da-da, too!

CRAZY HAIR!!!

So we cheated and started meats a couple of weeks early :)

...and he likes them!

"Ma-ma, what is THAT?!?!"

So I was innocently taking a picture with Jared in the goat petting area.
I had on a green dress because it's St. Patty's day...

...and this little guy (or girl?) decided to EAT my dress! I guess he thought it was green veggies of some sort?
He even followed me to the gate trying to get another nibble in!

Our relatives :)
(because we are tall)

Jared and Nana

Did you know that tortoises could make noise?!?!
This one groaned at us!!!

I am on a roll today!!!

2009-03-15T15:15:00.000-05:00

Disclaimer: I took this video on my little digital camera. So I wasn"t thinking when I turned the camera to the side to shoot this video. Turn your head to the side to watch it though because it is too cute to miss!

I forgot about these...oops!!

2009-03-15T14:45:00.001-05:00

I found these in my e-mail and decided to post them. They were taken by my friend, Brooklyn. Jared and I stopped to see her Thursday and her little boy, Caden, was nice enough to share his toys with little Jared. He did request that Jared not put them in his mouth but it was a lost cause from the beginning!

Crawlers and Crawfish

2009-03-15T13:03:00.000-05:00

This week went by in a blur! Jared is now pulling up and even moving from one place to the next in the standing position! We had our first crawfish boil of the season last night. We had over a few friends and were able to enjoy them outside despite the rain! Here are some pictures of Jared from this past week:

Too quick for words!

"Why, hello Mommy!"

Just waking up from a nap!

While Daddy was setting up the tent for the crawfish, Jared watched from the window!

Setting up the tent :)

Jared watching Daddy

What a Mess!!!

2009-03-09T14:13:00.000-05:00

We now have Jared blocked in...the living room is his cage! After we did this, he discovered he could get around the barricade in front of the fireplace, pull the rocks out and throw them on the floor. Not a fun game for me! Here are some pictures from yesterday and today:

Jared and Mommy after Mass

Silly man playing with the remote
(If you look closely you can see a sick Daddy in the background!)

Everything has to be tasted!

This is the aftermath of the "Biter Biscuits"

"Let me out, Mommy!"

"How'd ya get over there?"

He pulled himself up on the baby gate all by himself!

The End! :)

We are back in the 21st century!!!!

2009-03-05T09:50:00.000-06:00

We have internet again!!! This means more updates and more pictures of Jared :) In the last week he has started getting into EVERYTHING! We are in the process of installing baby gates to keep him in our den area. Even with a basket full of toys Jared would much rather play with towels, magazines, anything that he is not supposed to have! He is so much fun though. He is such a happy baby. He flirts with every stranger we come into contact with! Here are some pictures from this past week...enjoy :)

He loves the camera!

Jared loves his "Da-da"

Yummy breakfast!

CHEESE!!!!

Where did February go?!?!

2009-03-01T09:37:00.000-06:00

I decided to make a blog to keep everyone up to date on Jared's growth and progress! So here we go...

(Jared likes to be tickled!)

(Jared scooted until he got under his "Jumperoo")

Hopefully I will be able to upload some more recent pictures of him soon. He is crawling and even pulling up some! He is growing up so fast!
