Sad Dad

This gem is what Mama calls “The first week is a little rough on everyone.” Couldn’t have said it better myself!

Hat Trick

 

Hat Trick

Photographer Hillary Gardner found that shooting this lil’ 1-year old with his adorable birthday hat was a little trickier than she thought it would be.

Bee Happy

Could this pout BEE any cuter??

(Thanks, Lil’ Debbie! Debbie’s rockstar newborn has been featured on babyblooze once before.)

Parting is such sweet sorrow

Parting

Grandma must be pretty special. Mom tells us this is the “don’t-make-me-leave-grandma’s-house” pout. Every time Mom mentioned leaving, her kiddo’s whole demeanor would turn from happy and playful into THIS.

(Thanks, Karmen K.!)

Photo shoot gone wrong

New Shooze

In Mom’s own words about the Sunday evening photo shoot: 

“First 15 minutes went well….smiles…laughter…winking…second 15 minutes went marginally less well…closed mouth smiles…eyes that look longingly just over our shoulders…joyless laughter…third 15 minutes was exponentially worse…writhing…frowning…flailing…wailing…and I think, the best photos we got that day.”  [Editor's note: Now this is MY kind of Mom!!]

(Thanks to Jeanine H. for the photo and story. You can see more of Jeanine’s adorable kiddos on her family blog.)

Perfect Pout

BBO Perfect Pout

Rocking the lower lip attitude… and showing how at 2 years old this kiddo can negotiate her way out of anything.
