Can you make a Chewbacca impersonation? My 6 month old baby can. It basically involved gurgling some excess spit in the throat while singing I guess. Lol. I don't think I will try. But I did love the scene with Chewbacca in the new star wars where chewy was having a BBQ and got the guilt treatment by those adorable eyes of a little Porg (a furry bird looking guy) that he was about to eat his cousin. I had to ask my 4 year old just not what the name of those creatures are called since I forgot. He proudly informed me. In our house we have a made up name for a Star Wars character... the "heebyjeebyschmur". This was doing bedtime stories late at night and I could not remember the name of any star wars characters I just started to make some up. My husband was laughing to tears in the other room of the awesome results. So without trying, the name stuck. Anyway, I can appreciate someone who can remember all the characters names. Alix is an avid reader and Stars Wars enthusiast and has me beat.

Playtime!  That is what 99% of my family sessions are all about.  And I love it.  It is having fun first, then pictures.  I love the exploring the outdoors, playing with mom and dad being tossed about or getting a surprise hug.

Last night I went with my family to go see the new Christopher Robin movie.  The 100 Acre Woods is my happy place I think.  I kept slapping my husbands knee is overwhelm by how stinkin adorable those perfectly digitally made to look real stuffed creatures were.  Winnie the Pooh is my all time fav.  Our babies nursery is decorated after it.  What every child needs, special outdoors time to utilize the imagination and battle the hefalumps and woozels. No idea how to spell those but seeing as in the world of Winnie the Pooh, things are often misspelled anyway... well I'm not going to fret about it.

When you are little the world is that much bigger and more wonderful. As we grow up, I guess we just start to take it for granted.
