One of my favorite things we’re doing with Rhys is stamping his footprints. Each month, we brush non-toxic teal tempura paint on his soles and toes, them press them onto heavy art paper. Ramsey went Baller Art to pick up paint, and found tiny 2×3” canvases and easels. They’re pretty much the most adorable things… Continue reading footprints

So, Ramsey and I really had no plan for when we’d start giving the babe real food. I mean, we had a general idea, but we like to play things fast and loose. While on a road trip to visit Ramsey’s family, we decided it was banana time. I knew the babe was ready, and… Continue reading demitasse
banana bonanza
Curiosity. Confusion. Suspicion. And then, pure and utter delight. Rhys’s first encounter with solid food proved more entertaining than I could have ever imagined. As interested in food as he’s been for several weeks now, he was totally unprepared for the bang of flavor that is mashed banana. He took his first bite with vigor,… Continue reading banana bonanza
banana eve
All of the sudden, Rhys is six months old. Boom. Just like that. He seems wise and almost mature these days, in his own baby way. He sits, he observes. He stares at me while I spoon oatmeal to my mouth with a knowing curiosity that he is missing out on something. It’s not the… Continue reading banana eve
six months old
Oh dear. Six months. That means from this point on, you are halfway to being one year old. I don’t think I’m cool with that.
sophie: so loved
Ah, Sophie! (I hope you heard that in the French accent I typed it with.) Sophie, la Giraffe! How all adore thee. Your slender neck and graceful legs are perfectly proportioned for little hands to grasp. You are loved by all. And, may I say, you look great for 50. Yes, Sophie the Giraffe is… Continue reading sophie: so loved
four months old
Oh, Rhysie. Another month has gone by? Four months already? This is going too fast already… This month’s mug shots we did on location in Breezy Point, Minnesota. A lakeside resort that felt like The Shining meets Dirty Dancing. So awesome. I mean, check out this bedspread. Even Rhys can tell how dope it is.
five months old
This month’s photos were particularly fun to take. Once Rhys learned to sit by himself, he refused to pose on his back. Not quite having mastered sitting, he was still a bit wobbly during this shoot, so Ramsey was on hand to upright the boy. Enjoy the action shots.
three months old
The Scrabble tiles don’t lie. It’s hard to believe, but the babe is three! Well, three months, that is.
diaper duty
I’m not quite sure when my quest for cloth diaper service began. One afternoon, while rather pregnant, I found myself immersed in articles about the benefits of cloth diapers versus plastic disposables. A couple of hours lost pouring over the comparisons, I was convinced. About a month before my due date, I set up service… Continue reading diaper duty
