What a little mess.
Teagan fell asleep in my arms yesterday evening after nursing. I had to put him down in his crib for a few minutes and when I came back it struck me just how fabulous he is. Total snapshot, one of those, hold the camera up over my head, don’t look through the viewfinder and shoot, random ones, but it makes me smile. Totally stretched out, binkie spit out across the crib (man he can get some distance sometimes!), chubbies hanging out, one sock (only halfway on), chillin in his super cute "handsome" getup… Thanks Alli for the cute little outfit, I can’t believe it fits him already!! This one was a little more thought out…but doesn’t give you the full […]
just stay little
Don’t grow up. Just stay little. Keep that sweet baby smell. Fall asleep in my arms with your head on my chest. Listen to my heartbeat while you’re there, its beating for you. Drink milk till your stuffed full. But come back for more within the hour. Burp loud, so we are amazed at your little body and the noise it makes. Curl your tiny little fingers around mine and hold on as tight as you can. Grunt the way only you do, when you eat, when you sleep, when you’re just hangin out, just grunt, its so you. Blow drool bubbles. Love your paci, no matter how much it drives your momma nuts. Keep one squinty eye on daddy […]
Wow
Just checked my stat counter and it hit 200,008 today! Wow! Thanks to all of you who take a few moments of your day to come here and share in a little slice of our lives, comment on the pics and share stories of your own. I love hearing from you! And what’s a post without a photo? We had a play date today and while I brought my camera, I didn’t snap a single shot. I got too caught up in Mommy talk so here is one of Taryn from last month that I never got around to sharing. I had a lot of unshared pics last month, I was a busy girl! Gosh I’ve been posting a lot […]
Pinkalicious
My wonderful sister-in-law sent Taryn a cute little book called "Pinkalicious". Her girls, who are a bit older than T, just love it. Thanks Aunt Dana!! Pinkalicious is now all the rage at our house. Since the very first reading, I have been getting requests to bake pink cupcakes. So this morning we broke out the supplies and got to baking. All I heard was "pink, pink, pink" LOL! Thankfully I had some leftover pink stuff still good from Valentine’s Day. Love this…she looks so proud! Her lips are all pink from eating frosting… Ok, so prepare yourself for this next shot, and don’t say I didn’t warn ya! If you’ve read the book, you’ll get this (if not, in […]
I’m no Stephanie Fisher.
but yesterday I tried my hand at girl / bear photography. Stephanie has a gorgeous daughter Hannah who has a much loved (and much photographed) Mr. Bear. I thought of them a lot yesterday when we decided to go out for a long walk and Taryn decided to take her Mr. Bear along. Our long walk, turned into a really, really long walk. Teagan slept through it all and T and I just enjoyed being outside, walking along, talking about all the things we saw along the way. We pretty much live out in the sticks and I realized I don’t use our surroundings to photograph the children very much. We stopped a few times along the way for a […]
I love her more than words.
Dare I say it? I "think" we might be seeing a light at the end of the tunnel with this crazy ride Taryn has been on since the baby came home. I’ve had glimpses of my sweet, loving, funny girl in the last two days that have been missing for so long. I’ve been so worried about her, she just seemed so sad, not eating (she’s down to 27 lbs), not sleeping, whining mess. I was so afraid that this "phase" would stick and become a learned behavior, I’m so thankful for these little glimpses of my happy girl again….I’ve missed her like crazy.
