just awkward

i love oggling photos of the bloggers i follow and their babies. i love the outfits and the tiny glimpse i get into their lives. so why are there so few photos on this blog, you ask? well, let me tell you.

this is the back of my head and a naked baby

also, it's the best we can do. seriously.

i hate taking self portraits and by hate i mean i am absolutely, without a doubt terrible with my camera lens aimed in the mirror. there have to be some tricks and tips i have yet to discover. a more flattering light, a better angle. someone else actually talking them? 

i mean, come on. the pictures graham and i take always get trashed before they're viewed by anybody else. and not because graham ever looks... er... there's not really a polite word that fits here for a baby... it's because i somehow always looks pasty and dwarfed. that said, i am pale and short, but pasty and dwarfed?! 

what are you secrets people? spill.

geronimo (or not)!

apologies for the lack of posting yesterday. someone is teething! ouch.

this weekend we had a lot of firsts.

we swung in the swings.

 

we sat up all by ourselves.

and graham decided that he is not yet ready to get excited about slides.

not short slides...

or bumpy slides.

 

i think i'll keep him. 

thanks.

my very own

he's a living breathing cabbage patch doll. just like i always wanted.
