Mika's Photo Series

My best friends' Mika and Miranda visited me recently, and luckily enough, one of them happens to be a fantabulous photographer. As we hung out with V and her mama, auntie and friend Myra, Mika shot tons of pictures.



Aren't these great? I love the lighting and the roundness of the image.



They're like if Veronica was being profiled in Rolling Stone and they wanted some candid shots of her with her family.



Rock & roll!



Rock & roll, but still so sweet.



I love how sunny and happy their house is... and I also love that Myra's little weeble-wobble tummy is in the middle of this shot. Soon for her!



(This, of course, is for Chester's profile in Rolling Stone...)



So Veronica can be quite easily, and happily, amused by the simplest things.



(This is a preview of how amused she's going to be shortly... just had to include it because HOW GORGEOUS IS THIS CHILD? I mean, really?!)



There it is! Absolute joy and perfect amusement!



I love these kicking little pants, too.



Look how long her hair is! I do love those moments when you can still see the baby in her face, though.



Happy, sunny days in the all new Willoughby manner... thanks again to Mika for taking these shots, and for Amanda and Amber opening their doors and sharing their loveyness.

thank god slamdance is over!

so, we are in the throws of molar eruption which as you can guess is no bueno and not a lot of sleep has been had! i will post some sweet shots and hope it will be enough to tide you over. not everyone can be as witty and hilarious as the queen you know.





this is shay. he is ethan's new little bro and veronica really loves to kiss him. so incredibly cute!






veronica has really embraced the baby signing. she has about 50 signs and it makes it so much easier to know what she wants. this is the sign for more which is usually what she wants.




as you can see, everything becomes a teething tool.







i am sure she will hate me forever for this one.

fashion turn to the left, fashion turn to the right......

not much to say except mmmm bop fashion!

this one's for gidget!

I know that drea's mom gets so upset when there are no new pics for awhile and since drea is in the middle of snowy hell, i am going to attempt a blog.
the first set of pics are from v's first E.R. trip. it was so awful but we still managed to document it. there were so many horrible procedures and were were there for 8 hours. she was having convulsions with fever but it turned out to be ok.




on to nicer things. the next set are something that we all hope is a passing phase. i just hope she chooses anything but pushing racks for a living!





maybe she will be a stuntwoman if my pop has anything to do with it








i will try to be regular with my posts while queen drea is away. i seem to have erased all the xmas pix but i have a crack team trying to recover the photos.

A Whole New Year!

It's 2009 and Veronica is still getting cuter and smarter and funnier every day. I'm in Park City right now, bracing for the maelstrom, so I'm just going to throw up these pics with minimum wordage... which is kind of everyone's dream come true, isn't it?



That's right - happiest place on earth! These are from 2008, but they still count. (Rodney peeping out behind her mouse ear is the funniest thing ever.)





Rodney is serious for reals on the small world tip.





Holy. Crap.





Love the Auntie!





Um, I adore this picture.



And now I feel guilty about that.





Team Gore in effect!





The best way to end your day. So there's those! If you're lucky, I'll have the Christmas pics up in time for Valentine's even...

Holiday Pics!

Little V hit up the Holiday Bazaar at Huntington Gardens long ago (before the cold and the rain), so it's about time my negligent blogging butt got them up!





Cuddling with her Uma is done at all times, but even better when she's dressed up. (How great does Kathleen's hair look? All flowy and shiny, like a Pantene commercial!)



Mary Jane's, cardigan, pigtails. Wonder whose kid she is?



Word up, mama!



She is soooooo mobile and constantly zipping around these days, that this is a rather frequent view. Her speeding off, you chasing after.



Two hands! All innocent! She's going to get away with so much, it's ridiculous.



Like this kind of petty thievery! (Sidenote: for any of you concerned about her budding little teethlets, be relieved to know that she did NOT drink any soda.)



Love this, as it's a recreation of last year's Thanksgiving Veronica As A Centerpiece game, but now she's soooooo big!



Vintage Veronica = So Tiny!



I love this series. It's entitled A Girl And Her Dog.



Chester just HAD to sit in the backseat with her. He's very chivalrous.



He wants into that carseat so badly!



It's all good, she loves her puppy big time.



Our friends Carmen (big time musical theater star) and Paul (her roadie) visited and Veronica adored them.



And they adored her right back. How could they resist this face?



Or these dance moves?



Seriously, though...



Could you resist???
