easter out-takes

I took 104 photos.  None of them were very good!  Squinting, falling over, eyes closed, crying, slumping.... ahhhh three kids in a photo.

6 months

Well, these are going on the blog out of order.  Astrid turned 6 months at Thanksgiving, not Christmas.  Disorganized Mommy!  Oh well.  Here is our cutie wearing our favorite family hand me down, the Tana sweater.  I bought this chocolate lab sweater while pregnant with Walter.  I love that they have all worn it.  She is our mascot! 

christmas card photo shoot

Well, when you need a Christmas card made ASAP, you are lucky to have snow in your back yard.  You've got 5 minutes tops before it all goes to heck with a crying baby.

Meet my photographer's assistant.  Fritz.  He is an expert at photo shoots, placing stickers and charming babies.

4 months, take 2

At 4 months, Miss Astrid has lost all of her original blue/grey eyes and she has a solid grasp on blowing spit bubbles.  Making strides! 

4 months

In 21 out of 28 of the photos I took on this occasion, Astrid has her thumb in her mouth obscuring her face.  The 7 without her thumb were only because I pulled it out of her mouth quickly snapped the shot (with her hands on their way back up!).  So at 4 months, Astrid thinks her thumb is pretty great.
