(...on Monday.) The photos have been sitting on my computer since then, but I haven't had time to sort through them or sit down to write a post until tonight.
I never realized until I had two of my own how hard it is to take pictures of babies – all of these shots were taken on the fly without regard for lighting (or clean outfits apparently). Sometimes you just have to click while the getting is good and even at that, things can go south pretty fast. On the plus side, Nate has his eyes open in all of the pictures – because contrary to popular belief, he isn't *always* sleeping. ; )
See?
Awhhh! Seth was also having a fine time lounging in his Boppy:
An important lesson: never, ever attempt to take photos of your babies before they are fed. Regardless of how cute and willing they look at the moment, by the time you get the camera turned on it's game over.
The difference between surprised but curious Nate and heartbreakingly tragic Nate is less than 1 second. The second picture clearly says "would someone please tell the silly lady to stop taking my picture and feeeeeed meeeeee?".
Surprised, but curious:
Heartbreakingly tragic:
... and disgruntled Seth agrees:
So glad I checked in this evening.
ReplyDeleteVery,very sweet. Love your commentary.
They are both so incredibly alert and showing such personality.
Great picture-taking, Mom!
And are they ever growing!
Keep up the great work!!
