cherie was here

if only

if only i had ten more babies, i would do this again for every single one.
so glad the project turned into something better than i ever expected.

i compiled the project into a book and had it printed at shutterfly. there's just something lovely about holding photos in your hands rather than looking at them on a computer screen. just lovely.

the end.

and it's a cute end. with droopy drawers and all.
thanks for joining me during the baby project.
it has been so rewarding for me
to focus on this little guy and everything about him.
and to give him some extra time that isn't readily available when you're #4.
you know, they say that younger siblings usually end up with less photos
which is completely understandable.
but i'm so glad that's not the case with him.

and i'm sure there will be many more to come!

just curious...which one did you like best?

talents

over the weekend i enlisted jeff to help me with a few photos as the baby project winds down. i had a few ideas in mind-- 1. a bed shot like a little sussy and 2. a surfboard shot.

as i was getting ready to post them today, i had a little thought. we will both be able to impart a few of our talents with him.

jeff: to surf
me: to sleep
never knew that was a talent, eh? :)

  

outtakes

whenever we rent a movie, everyone always asks if there are outtakes (which d used to call take outs). with all the photos i've been taking this month, i've got plenty of stuff that didn't make the cut. but they make me laugh. so here's just a few...

1. plugging his nose (did i stink?)
2. after spitting up, he had two little chunks stuck to his gums looking like teeth. nasty!
3. break dancing the roger rabbit or stretching? you choose.
4. lincoln crashing the scene. he's a cute little crasher though.
5. christian spit up all over. hence lincoln heading for cover and dallin in complete disgust. did i mention he spits up a lot? no really. a lot.
6. i don't know. this looks more like a "behind bars" shot than a cute baby photo. :)
