The Mini Wilsons

You would think that with the deadly combination of ME (aka crazed, looney mother) and my love of taking photos of everything and anything... we would have taken the time to do some sort of professional photoshoot by now.  Alas, we have not... until recently.  We had a mini shoot with my friend, Jill, who does an amazing job with kids and babies (seriously.. she has magical powers... ALL babies love her!)  

Here are her gorgeous results of my wee bebes.


 
This was actually supposed to be Ava's Four Year Old photoshoot and Sterling was just going to sit on the side and watch, but Jill let us throw him in for a few shots and I'm so happy we did. 

 Isn't she lovely?
Ava's sweet, fashion-forward Grand-mère sent her this beautiful dress
(I'm telling myself that I'm RIGHT to not allow little Missus' grubby hands to touch this gorgeous dress... It's NOT crazy to love a dress this much, right???) 


Our boy.





Now... I just want to write things down so I don't forget the mundane.
Here's the mundane, day to day stuff:

 
What we find ourselves often telling Ava
- Thank you for being a good helper!
- You need to dance softer around Sterling's head please
- You can hold him in just a minute
- Can you PLEASE keep your toys out of the kitchen?!
- May I have a turn holding Sterling?
- Yes, you ARE the prettier princess
- We'll play with our friends later/tomorrow/in a few hours... Just. Be. Patient!
- I love you so much.  We couldn't ask for a better daughter and big sister.


(Yesterday Little Mister turned four weeks old.  His cheeks, double chin and chubby belly are all prime kissing spots)
 What we find ourselves often telling Sterling
- You're growing TOO QUICKLY
- Do you EVER wake up?
-If you just poop more often, you'll feel better.  I promise.
- Mom's going to turn you into a major mama's boy (said by Taylor)
- You're beautiful.
- I love you.  You make our family complete.

Hi Suk said...

Now I remember, I saw last month this black dressed little girl climbing the stairs at the Cannes movie award ceremony!

No wonder if one day Sterling has a deep sense of humour as he is already able to make us laugh in his basket.

One more time, your blog is great, please keep it updated!

Bisous a tous les quatre.
Hi Suk & JC

WOW!! Those pics are AMAZING!! Your kids are seriously too cute for their own good! I laughed at the things you guys have been saying to Ava because I'm sure they are just what we will be saying to Ashlyn once the baby comes and some of the things we already do say--especially the playing with friends thing & princess stuff!! I'm pretty sure Gavin will just try to smother the new baby and not stop touching her. I think he's gonna get a little wake up call and disappointment when he realizes he won't be "the baby" anymore.

LOVE YOU and MISS YOU TO PIECES!!

Kinley said...

Ummm, I think I love that dress too much. You make gorgeous babies. Unbelievably gorgeous babies.

Kristen and Andrew said...

umm... have you entered these pics. into some sort of contest/magazine...something?! They'd win fo shoo! WAY TO GO KATY AND TAYLOR!! You make beautiful babes!

{Alynn} said...

Good. work. Taylor's.
The world is a better place because of your beauteeeeeeful bebes.

...and that poop advice too. Maybe.

Michelle said...

These pictures are AMAZING! It was so good seeing you last week, wish we still lived across the street for you guys!

Sharee said...

I would like Taylor's take on what he finds himself often telling Katy.

Now, as for little miss Jill Aponte. . .She sickens me with her gross talent. However, it helps to have some pretty darn beautiful kids as her subjects.

Tell Sterling to stop growing, even if it's just for a little while. Ava too!

Dallin & Ashley said...

you will totally probably never see this since you are, well, MISS POPULAR. BUT as soon as I saw that beautiful little dress on Ava, it was love, pure LOVE. Most gorgeous thing ever, just as are your bebes!

Matt and Jess said...

Way cute pictures, they did an amazing job! I would never be able to pick which ones I wanted!

White Family said...

Oh my heavens! Could these two be any more adorable?! OK before I even read anything about "the dress" I almost passed out over the dress! IT.IS.STUNNING! It totally makes sense now that I know it's from La Grandmere. Not that you're not fashion forward Miss Katy because heaven knows YOU ARE! But I just thought where in the world did they get this dress!? I don't even have any girls and I would purchase it to put on Landon in a heart beat. GORGEOUS! These two lil ones of yours are oh so scrumptious!!
