mama's buying props

February 23, 2006

New white background, new white fuzzy rug thingy, new chair... got some fake flowers too... still working on getting the lighting right so I won't get shadows behind her.

"I don't want to sit still... but I will flop around on the fuzzy rug!"

I am SO lucky to have such a happy, smiling subject!!!

Grandma bought this hippo for AngelBaby when we were home visiting last September. It's a great toy - push it for support learning to walk, and you can put the handle down so it's a ride-on toy. It even eats little blocks when you push it over them! A.B. LOVES this toy... here she is with her ayi, walking (sometimes running) up and down the hallway).

"I'm so proud of myself!"

"woohoo, this is fun!"

Isn't this so sweet? One hand on the walker, one hand holding onto ayi

trying out the studio

Okay, so when AngelBaby turned a year old, I took her to have a portrait made. Little did I know that I could not simply order portraits that I liked, in the quantities that I wanted, and spend loads of money. No. I could only buy a book of photos that I did not particularly want, and then I could buy or be given additional portraits that I could hang on a wall or put in a wallet. I got so irritated at not being able to order and buy what I wanted that I decided to make my own studio. I had curtain rods hung behind my already-in-place futon, and I bought a bunch of fabric for backgrounds and futon coverings, and a friend made us a board to put on the futon under chairs and other things that might tip on a soft surface like a bed. I ordered a soft focus filter (didn't have it yet for these pics), a remote shutter release, set up the tri-pod, and off we go! :) These are some of the first, experimental pics.

Trying to crawl off the edge of the futon. Not too much sense of gravity yet, as it pertains to falling off stuff...

love this face!

This looks like mischief to me!

Valentine's Day Sugar Fest

We had a chocolate fest at the community center on Feb. 11, 2006... A.B. napped through much of it, but woke up in time to play, and to show off her cute valentiney outfit!

what a happy grin

here's the whole outfit... even has hearts on her jeans pockets!

love that profile (and the hat!)

February 11, 2006, Almost-Valentine's Day

Here's a very cute outfit that Grandma sent for AngelBaby...

"I've had enough of this hair bow... can't you see I don't have much hair?"

Happy Valentine's Day! (almost)

this baby loves to splash!

Bathtime is so much fun with A.B. She splashes, she squeals, she sticks her face in the water, lets me dump water right over her head and comes out laughing. You would not believe how much water ends up on the floor!!!
