Yesterday was one of those days that the girls weren’t on their normal sleep schedules and coincidently Lorelei was awake during Keira’s nap. Whenever this happens, she usually spends her time trying to make a break for Keira’s room and bang on the door until she wakes up. So instead, I locked us up in her room with toys and books for her and my camera for me. Pretty much like normal, minus the big sister.
Lorelei is entering this new stage of Toddlerhood. Sure, she’s been waking for a few months, but Toddlerhood is more than just toddling. It’s the time when they never want to be held in the store, but never want to be put down in the nursery. The cuddling days are pretty much over to be replaced by temper tantrums and independence. I’m going to really miss some of the aspects of the baby stage. Which is why all my friends reading this ought to get started having those babies now for me to hold and play with and give back. ; )
Anyway, while playing in the room with Lorelei, I was mulling over an article by T. Morris I read yesterday about shooting what you love. I started noticing that I was doing a lot of close up shots of all the beautiful baby features of Lorelei. The little things like her lashes, her diaper bum, her little dimples in her hands and elbows, playing peek-a-boo. I loved them so much I want to share them with all of you, as one last baby hurrah as we enter into Toddlerhood.
1. Hello.
2. Chubby belleh.
3. My house will never be spotless. There will always be something in the shot that tells a bit more about us.
4. Diaper bum and her shoe fetish. No one else gets to were shoes in the house.
5. Those lips!
6. Lashes.
7. Tiny, wispy, shiny baby hairs.
8. Chubby arm dimple.
9. Peek-a-boo!
