the elusive smile
He’s almost ready. I can feel it. His face lights up when we talk to him, but that first real smile is being elusive. He wants to smile…he told me so himself in one of our super secret talks about giving those first smiles to only mommy. Don’t think I’m selfish, I’ve earned it. Nine months of tossing my cookies, insomnia, stretch marks, contractions for weeks. Yup, I’m campaigning for that first little grin and am totally prepared for it to melt my heart. We’re off to soccer practice and then a dinner picnic at the park. Gotta love spring!
oink
We weighed Teagan last night. My guess was around 10 lbs but out little porker tipped the scale at 12 lbs 2 oz!!! Oink Oink! =) I just love watching him grow and change. I have to post this one….I’m just in love with his feet. This shot makes me want to kiss his sweet little piggies… I used Lilyblue’s actions and presets on this one. I really love them! I’ve been playing with them here and there (here, here, here and here) Check them out.
Look at that chunky little leg!
I’ve worked hard for that chunker during the 6 wk growth spurt! And click refresh to check out the new banner!
3 T’s & Me
I posted this almost a year ago and failed miserably. I decided I need some structure to actually pull it off. Anne Marie found an idea on Flickr of taking a pic of you with your child or children once a week for a year. Love this idea! Makeup, no makeup, hair fixed or not. Just want you guys to know, right up front, it might not be pretty, or even in focus! But I hope it’ll be fun and become easier for me to get in front of the camera and those around me more willing to pick it up on their own. I can take it, have someone else take it, use the camera timer or just use […]
tag canvas
I started working on a few craft projects for the nursery before Teagan was born. Once he arrived, all I had to do was add a few final details. This is a simple 12×12 canvas that I finally finished up this morning. It was so easy to do and I just love how it turned out… I made one for baby Calla / Anne Marie too but forgot to take a pic before giving it to her. Jamie also asked about the photo blocks in the "little things" collage. They are still half finished but I hope to get them done soon. I’ll post pics when I do!
