does this baby cry?

That's what I was asking myself as this little guy lay awake for the beginning of our session. He was squirmy, but other than that he was pretty content being awake. He did drift off to sleep for the latter half, and then just as I was gathering my belongings, he started to wail! I guess he worked up an appetite with all of that squirming :)



Brightest newborn eyes. Ever.



"You think you can contain me with your swaddling but I will get free! Mwaa ha ha ha!"



Soft little feet that have never been walked on:

same name

This little peanut is the first I've met who has the same name as my daughter, as well as the same nickname. It was weird saying it outloud to someone else since I've never done that. Isn't she cute? She and her big sister look just alike too.



Blowing me some bubbles :)















I think this looks like it was taken on Christmas morning :)

my new club

I think I'll start a club, SWA (seniors without acne). I of course cannot be a member of it since I was not a clear-skinned senior, but I could just be the founder. Funny coincidental story involving this senior: at the end of our session I told her it would be at least a few weeks before I had her proofs ready since I was going to be at Disney World the following week. She said, "everyone is going to Disney World this week!" I said in disappointment, "really?" thinking we had booked our trip during a very slow season with small crowds. She said, "yeah the physical therapist I shadow at the hospital is going with his family next week too." I laughed and said, "is his name Greg?" She was talking about my husband. We had no idea beforehand that she was shadowing my husband! Anyway, here is the newest member of SWA. :)







Volleyball, anyone?

my niece

I can't believe she's a senior. It seems like only yesterday she gave me a picture with a Mickey Mouse sticker on it and wrote, "Mickey is cool and so are you". I'm pretty sure she's the cool one now! Here are a few of my favorites of her. She obviously got all of the looks in my family! :)

it's electric!

Check out the eyes on these two. They have not been tampered with, and wow they are electric. I love love love them.



Enough to make any grandma nervous! Don't worry though, mom and dad were standing by!





Turns out the little guy is a fan of the new Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and luckily I knew the song.



The throwing of the leaves doesn't always turn out so well!



And I wasn't so sure this was going to end with a laugh or a cry the way he was covering his face!



And it's a laugh!

break out your christmas pjs!

Kids in Christmas jammies just make me smile. There is just something about those little bare feet sticking out of the bottom of them that make your troubles seem to go away :) This little guy has grown some since I saw him last, but he is long and lean!





He agrees with me about the feet!







I love it when babies make this face as you kiss their cheeks.



Really cute shoes that will never be walked in:





She loves her new puppy. This one is especially for her.

beauties.

We had a perfect day for these, and it was the day after this family returned from Florida. Prior to that it had been cold and rotten, so they got to miss all of that. Little miss is soon to be 4 and is already swimming underwater without wings! She told me all about it while we were walking.



He did not think much of my camera. He liked me a lot, but as soon as I put that big black thing up to my face he was very doubtful! I love this expression.



And who would've guessed that underneath that hat was...absolutely nothing! :)





I love this one.



I'm sure this won't be the first time he'll have to beat the ladies off!







For once a good family shot where everyone is smiling and no heads needed to be swapped! :)
