What Happened to Our Photogenicness? Photogeneticism? Photogenetics? Photogeneticocity?

"Hey Justin, let's take picture of ourselves like we used to, when it was just us."

"Okay."

"Uh, next time don't lean forward. We look like an eclipse."

"Oh. Okay."

"Stop messing it up. Smile."

"So demanding."

"Now we're just getting squinty. Let's go to church."

The Swing and 6 Months Old

Sarah tried out a big swing by herself last week. If this is what her infant swing was like, maybe she would have stayed in it for longer than 2 seconds.

And she is now 6 months old. She slept through most of her check-up yesterday. The shots were a rude awakening. She is just 13 lbs 2 oz. That puts her in the 3rd percentile. I hope she doesn't try to pick any fights because the odds are not in her favor.

Sweet Little Lady

Here's Sarah with her very own Easter basket. Well the basket is hers; Justin and I ate the candy. Okay, it was mostly me.

I'm working on getting Sarah to sit up. See the progress we're making?

And some cute jumping shots. Note the drool on the chin.

And note the too cute grin and silly hat.

My Two Little Goof Balls

Sarah discussing linear algebra with her dad. Please judge me, not her, on her outfit.

This picture is a little blurry but I love their smiles.

And Sarah with puppy dog eyes in case you've ever wondered what that looks like.

Officially a Gerber Baby

After weeks of begging me with her eyes and reaching for my spoon or fork, Sarah finally got to eat real food. Confession: I used to eat rice cereal or "baby rice" all growing up and probably will again now that I own a box. Put enough sugar in it and it's delicious. The runny, sugarless kind I made for Sarah doesn't look appetizing. Anyway... here are some pictures and footage of the event.

Buzzing Sarah - The Movie

Here's my first attempt at video editing since graduation. I knew that degree in broadcasting would come in handy someday.

Attack of the Hat

I put Sarah's beloved pink hat on her yesterday and had a little photoshoot. Who knew oversized sunwear would make her look so sophisticated.

I looked down for just a second to scroll through the many photos I had just taken, and when I looked up, I saw this.
