She's so cute...

Here is my niece now... They sprout up like weeds around this age, don't they? She is beautiful and full of personality. You can tell from the photo below! haha. That photo was from March... she's so big now!

One more on the way....

Ok. I am being totally unbiased when I say that I have the cutest, funniest, sweetest, most well-behaved niece on the planet. And she is about to become a big sister! My sister in law Susan is also the cutest pregnant woman... and I love taking pictures of both her and my niece Adeia. I think it is so neat to look back on my photos of Addie and see how much she has grown in just 18 months... it's amazing! I can't wait for niece #2!!!!!

Babies Babies Babies

I just had to say Congratulations! to my brother and sister in law who just found out that baby number 2 is a girl!

I can't tell you all how excited I am to have a second niece. When they had my first niece, Adeia, they were in New Mexico so I didn't get to see her until she was four months old when they came back to Chicago for my wedding. I am so excited to be able to be there from day one with this new little princess!

So Congratulations Refe & Susan! Nick and I couldn't be happier for you.

*******interesting side note- Refe is my younger brother. The only boy out of five children. We'll see how far they carry on the "Tuma Tradition" of lots and lots of girls!

And, just so you know what kind of cuteness awaits this world, here is a picture of the new baby's big sister Addie

Adeia Madeline

I can't resist posting a few more photos of my cutie pie niece, Addie. She's just such a doll! I wish I could snap photos of her every single day. It's pretty fun that I get to photograph this beautiful little person as she grows and grows... all the huge milestones, and hopefully a lot of the small ones. She's not walking quite yet, but I know she's stood up on her own without holding on to anything, so it can't be far away! I can't wait to chase her around... especially once the weather gets nice... if it ever does!

My adorable niece

So I have the most beautiful, smiley, happy, lovely nieces in the world! Of course I'm not even remotely biased... it's simply fact. =) She is my brother and sister-in-laws' first child... and they are the cutest family. Its so fun to watch your little brother be an incredible daddy. In honor of my niece Addie... here is her cuteness!
