My sunshine {playing in the crib}

You are my sunshine

My one of four sunshines

You make me happy when skies are grey (and its cold and snowy outside)

You’ll never know dear

How much I love you

Please don’t take my sunshine away12.09bed-0112.09bed-0312.09bed-0412.09bed-0512.09bed-06

“Hey Chris, see if she’ll stand up and hold onto the side for a picture. Stay close in case she falls.”12.09bed-07

No that crib is not dirty…that is the remanants of her 3 older brothers chewing on the side.

Yes, for the past six years someone has been sleeping in this crib.

Yes, I know they make plastic covers to prevent that.

Yes, I never remembered to pick one up.12.09bed-08

On a random note, Chris and I thought it would be fun to go ice skating downtown. After a LONG ordeal of getting kids ready and dropped off I tried to hold my tongue and not be Debbie Downer about the weather. As you know, I hate the cold. On this particular day it was 22 degrees out. My mom lent me her ice skates, which was a bit embarrassing walking up to the rink. When you have your own skates people assume you know how to skate. Wrong. Well I just couldn’t bear the cold..so we took a pic by the rink, I jumped in the air pretending to have fun and we left. Ice skating in downtown under the Christmas tree sounded so good…but I am a cold weather wuss.

Alba - my crib looks exactly the same, with the tiny difference that only two babies have slept there…
I can understand why you are in love with this precious little thing, my godness, she looks, no, she is more pretty, chubby, more… sunshine as the times goes by. Congratulations

Christian @ Modobject at Home - These photos make me eager for April. My own *third* sunshine is on the way! Love that standing-in-the-crib photos — priceless.

My deep south, thin blooded ways would’ve forced me to leave the skating rink too.

Beki – TheRustedChain - Ohmygoodness, she’s adorable! Love those rolls.

Courtney - So I’m dying to know how you took the first and I think 5th photo where it looks like you are on the same level as her. Did you put your camera through the rails of the crib? I love that angle!

Shannon Phillips - She is starting to look so much like her Mama. Love it!

Rachel - That is funny. I love that you still took pictures…..

AshleyAnn - Courtney – yep, I just shot through the rails. I placed the camera right up close, so it didn’t pick up the rails in the picture. One of them I might have actually put the camera in the bed and had the rails between my face and the camera – can’t remember for sure.

beth - I love the photo of her standing in the crib – her face! :-)

I am so-o with you on the cold weather issue! A friend of mine told me last night it’s supposed to be 17 here on Thursday (we’re near Dallas). I said to her, “Well, that’s your carpool day to take the kids to school, which means I won’t even need to leave the house!”

Kate - She is sooo cute… I could just nibble on her all day!!

christina larsen - I am a cold weather wuss, as well. I have been complaining for the past 2 weeks how cold I am. I am soooooooooo over winter!:)

bopha - too funny, the pics tell a whole other story. your sunshine is too cute, that is our favorite song at our house.

ashlee - i love the look on her face when you stood her up…she’s like “what the heck is this?!” love it!!
where did you get her crib sheet? its precious! mercy is still sleeping on the blue velour one from her brother:)
oh and Im so over the cold too…bring on the summer!!

Maegan - OMG! That shot of her looking cross-eyed at the crib rail is priceless!

Erin - I like the pic of you frolicking with your skates Nancy Kerrigan haha ;)

erin conrad - love the ones of her grabbing her toes. too cute!

Jill J - At least you look like you’re having a really good time. :) I love that crazy baby, cross-eyed stare. They all do it, huh? :)

Mara - I love love love the short depth of field you were able to capture. Do you mind if I ask what lens you used for the shots? As always your pictures inspire me to become a better photographer of my own kids.

anne c - beautiful little girl..she reminds me a lot of my Kate! I think they are pretty close in age..hope to be able to take pics like you one day! on a random note…I WANT YOUR FLOORS haha :) P.S. I am taking some pictures for a close friend this weekend in the hospital during her delivery…there is NOT going to be good light..any suggestions on how to take the best pic would be more than greatly appreciated!

Carrie Sowell - You are too funny, but I’m with you on the cold weather! And your little sunshine is getting so big SO fast! Too cute!

tiny twig - sweet moments you captured. those are always the ones i look back on and smile. :) p.s.–your date looks like a fun adventure! those are also the ones i look back on and smile.

rachel denbow - I’m with you on cold weather. California winters never saw anything in the 30′s much less a wind chill in the negative temps!

Your jumping picture is so fun, though, and it’s a memory in itself. Breese is such a beauty. Her cross-eyed pic is fantastic!

trish - CRACKING UP!!! the cross-eyed picture is the funniest and cutest picture EVER!!! you definitely have yourself a little beauty :)

Michele - Those pictures of that baby girl made my DAY!!!! (and gave me the baby fever) :) Too cute.

the inadvertent farmer - Two days in a row of babies…ughhh my reproductive organs can not stand it!

She is simply and completely precious…maybe she’ll grow up to be an ice skater unlike her wimpy mama! Think spring…I know I am! Kim

Jeannette Swan - Absolutely beautiful pictures of baby!! At least you have pics that look like you had fun skating.

kelly - LOVE those sweet pics! The one of her grabbing the bed is too funny! LOL.

patti - those eyes! love the cross-eyed photo – she’s a cutie-pie! but you knew that! :)

amanda torres - The rolls. I love the rolls! I also love how you made yourself look so carefree and fun-loving even though you were tortured by the cold. Good luck on Friday and Saturday…BELOW ZERO wind chill. You should invest in a Snuggie. (You may not be laughing at my comment, but I am cracking myself up)

lea helmerich - absolutely adorable!

meg duerksen - she is delicious!
i heard rumors of a real live date that may happen with my husband and i this friday…can it be true?!!!
i don’t want to go skating either!
george clooney movie please…and dinner in a dark restaurant. :)
at least you tried ashley…

AshleyAnn - Mara…I used my 50mm lens.

Emily - your baby girl is soooooo adorable!! beautiful images! i also love the ice skating photos… y’all are awesome. :)

Ashley Matheny - That picture of her staring down cracks me up! She is so stinkin cute!! Thanks for brightening my day :)

Heidi - She is too cute! I cant stand it!!

maegan - The photos are beautiful. Love the framing in the ones of her standing in the crib. She is even more beautiful than the pictures! And at least you got some cute pics out of the ice skating idea.

naomi - Today, where I live it was -4 fahrenheit! (i.e. -20 Celsius.. I’m from Canada). Anyway, love your blog and your crafts and your photos!
