Not saying she didn’t appreciate the flowers. Just saying she didn’t quite know how to deal with all the attention. Looks like this little lady is in no danger of becoming a diva anytime soon. Grain of salt darling. That’s how she takes her celebrity.

Ridiculously busy the last few weeks. I’ve moved houses, injured myself in a way I refuse to talk about, and had my identity stolen. That’s just a few of the high lights.
Last night my sister writes me to tell me her six year old has taken on an English accent and is getting quite good at impersonating my husband. I asked if she could imitate that face he makes too - but she had to hang up before she answered. Her youngest was being attacked by dinosaurs.
The photos of the day were taken at a family get together a few months back. A terribly handsome young lad (Not the one being eaten by dinosaurs) I like to call ‘G’. His likes are Timberland Boots, his daddy, and Beyonce. In no particular order.

Clearly we have a muse. Or two. We bribe them with chocolate and cookies and they make our portfolio look pretty. Note: Chocolate and cookies and sugar in general are great for getting excellent action shots. We find it works best with girls. On boys, it just tends to send them over the edge. At least it did with their brother. Who was busy running circles around the studio lights and throwing sticks at the sun.

Last October I went trick-or-treating for the first time in twenty years. Oh yes. With two little ballerina cats and a mini hunter. Afterwards we dined on pizza instead of sugary goodness.

This little guy knows his Manolos. He arranged the shoes in the hall into ‘Steal’ and ‘Splurge’ categories better than any aspiring fashionista. Then he hopped on the chair. Gave me a smile here and there. Did the masculine ‘hands in pocket while kicking at the air or staring contemplative at the sky’ look. Sweetest little thing. And the first time I’ve photographed him.

It just occurred to me that this lovely little lady’s father may not have appreciated my failure to assist his youngest daughter as she made her first attempt at mountain climbing. But the look on her face as she tried to make it up the two grown up size steps was priceless.
She only recently - as in days - started crawling. So the steps - which she managed on her own after 25 minutes of sheer determination - were monumental.
Baby K’s mother invited me for lunch. I took my camera. Above are a few of the photos from the day. Which, as of today, are still looking a little wonky on my monitor because the blog still needs a little upgrading. Come back tomorrow. It’ll look better. I promise. :)

A photo left over from Valentines Day. And a really special one at that. The first time she had ever sat up on her own. Her mother was holding her back and decided to try easing her hand away. We caught the whole balancing act on film.
