Babies are hard to photograph. One year olds and three year olds are hard to photograph too, but in a different way. I didn't realize how many different expressions babies make in a 5 minute period, until I tried taking pictures of them. A lot of the faces that are sweet in real life, aren't so cute in a picture. Madeline likes to crack her eyes open, or open one more than the other...not so lovely for picture-taking. Sometimes their little features are out of proportion because of the birth process and sometimes their skin is less-than-perfect. But hey, that's why I like taking pictures of each stage. They grow so fast, it's hard to remember the itty-bitty stage, goofy faces and all! This morning, Madeline was quiet and alert. I think I like this group of shots better than the ones I took on Thursday. She and I both are in a better mood! (*mental note: wait till the boys are down to set up a photo shoot...otherwise it's WAY too stressful!)
William has a bad eye infection, a cough, and an ear infection, so we stayed home this morning. Currently all three are napping...thus my spare moment to post these. I try to post pictures fairly often for our family members who don't get to see S, W, and M every day. So here you go ya'll. :)
