Marley 4 yrs 2 months I just don’t know what to say. It’s hard to think of all the major developmental changes he’s experiencing when they all seem overshadowed by his crazy roller coaster behaviour. He is both and angel and a devil. He’s pushing us to our limits and… |

I’ve been wanting to have professional pictures of the children for a while. I did have some taken of Marley as a baby and they were pretty disappointing, they were studio shots and didn’t capture his essence at all. Tim and I saw the Mango photography stand at the Abbotsford… |

Marley, his last month as a 3 year old I think he’s been having one last ditched attempt to throw the tantrum of the year, his tantrums have become out of control and very unlike him. He’s really upset me these last few weeks but with using the 123 Magic… |

Marley 3 years 7 months Marley’s world has been turned upside down and he’s responding appropriately.

Motherhood has taken on a new shape for me. I’m now a mother of two; a 3.5mth old and a newborn. This has been surprisingly difficult for me. Don’t get me wrong, I knew it’d be hard, but I feel like I’ve been inside a whirly twirly machine that’s spun… |

Oh what a lad. Funny funny boy that he is. Marley’s expressive use of language and imagination is very funny, we’re well entertained. I think this is the way things just are now, just that he’s funny, musical, imaginative, confident and strong willed and there’s no changing any of that,… |

Marley’s facial expressions have become far more exaggerated, especially his sad face! It’s like he’s learned to stretch his mouth into an uncomfortably downward position with the sole purpose of imploring sympathy. It’s such a pathetic little face he puts on when he’s upset, it’s actually laughable. It’s like a… |
