and then she was 3 ...

my baby's curls

her sweet baby curls are slowly growing out (sniff sniff). Probably within the next year they'll all be cut off and not to be seen again until (hopefully) she's a teenager. 

I had to document the sweetness.

So excited to start off the New Year with a 10 on 10! 

New to 10 on 10? Here's the rundown: 10 FABULOUS photographers from around the country posting 10 of their favorite photos on the 10th day of each month.

This month I chose to document a date that my daughter and I went on. 

We took the train from downtown San Jose to Sunnyvale. Granted, in the car it's only about a 20 minute drive but taking the train for a 2 year old is pure excitement. Especially when it's your first time on a train. We frequently see the commuter trains and we talk about them and even read about them (Anybody heard of Thomas the Train?) but to actually RIDE one?! Too much fun not to document.

time to board

off to find our train

getting settled in our seats. Hey Katheryn, How does a train sound? "Chooo chooo!"

and we're off

stopping for a bite to eat.

exploring a little bit of downtown area before boarding. loved this red door and the fact that it was a great book store!

releasing a bit of energy

waiting to board for the return trip home.

back on board and on the way home! What a fun day.

10 on 10: december edition

I can't believe this is our fourth month of the 10 on 10 edition. Very exciting! 

(Need a recap of what exactly 10 on 10 is? It's 10 photographers from across the U.S. posting their 10 photos on the 10th day of every month)

I've really enjoyed seeing the different styles of each photographer. Very inspiring and definitely makes me work harder for the next month.

After putting together my 10 photos I realized I had two themes going on :

THEME 1) 90% of my pictures were of my daughter because 90% of my time on any given day is with her. I don't end up with too many of myself because she's way cuter and, honestly, what's really exciting/interesting about me picking up toys, taking laundry out of the dryer, putting my hair up in a pony tail, etc.

THEME 2) Christmas is definitely upon us... yikes! 

I hope you enjoy your journey and have a wonderful holiday!

Getting our morning started with a little iPad while momma does a little work.

 Day 4 of our 25 Days of Christmas

Normally I would have inserted the infamous mall Santa Claus picture here but, alas, for the second year in a row she chickens out when confronted by said Santa. I don't have it in me to force her so what do we do instead? Go to Tar-jey.

Searching for that perfect Angel Tree gift. I have to admit I was a little lost in the boys' toy section.

and what's a trip to Tar-jey without riding the escalator at least twice!

After the excitment of Tar-jey we head home for a nap but not before a time-out. She was getting cranky.

A post-nap smoothie makes things better.

After a bath a tower of letters needed to be built

 and finally, because it's Christmas time, a shot of a couple of our ornaments
