A Buncha Pictures

These first few pictures are some of my early attempts at cutesy newborn shots.  :)  There were very few attempts like this.  It was hard.

I do plan to attempt to use this truck for more baby pictures though; it has such potential to be a very cute prop.  :)

This is Thomas on November 7th.

I put both boys in a basket and took them outside on the 8th.  Thomas was kind of fussy, but that’s not completely obvious in the pictures, so… yay!

I do plan (someday, when I have more than five seconds with two hands) to do some edits on these and spice them up a bit, but so far all I’ve done is convert the one above to black and white.  I like ‘em  both!

Feet!  Michael:

This was November 17th (just for the record, since I have no actual memory).

Thomas was crashed out on me and the big pillow.

They don’t sit in the bouncer much – doesn’t Michael look tiny!

The changing table is a pretty good place to take pictures since it’s by the window, and they kind of like it up there (except when they’re actually being changed).

He’s got a good grip on the paci!

This was last Thursday, before the weather changed.  It was super hot and muggy.  Joanna and I were swatting mosquitos away from the boys for these shots outside.  :)

Thomas, Michael

And that’s all I can manage with only one hand.  It’s crazy, and I don’t know why it works like this, but the boys take turns taking naps during the day.  They eat at the same time but only one of them naps well in between any given set of feedings.  This means I am ALWAYS holding at least someone.  And when I’m not, I’m listening to them cry. 

Just keeping it real.

This too shall pass.

I miss blogging.

And sleep.  And snuggling my bigs.  And eating.  And talking to my husband.  And vegging on the couch.  And baking.  And so very many other things.

I do really super a whole lot love my babes though.
