Your Must Have Baby Pictures

Isn't it funny how we always bust out the camera when our kids are doing something new or silly or unusual? It's natural to want to capture that moment on film to look back on several years later, particularly those "first" moments. Parents (me included) love taking shots of our kids doing something for the first time - first nap, first time in the car seat, first time at home, first bath, first steps, first words (on the video camera), first performance up front, first day of school, and so on. However, there is one baby "first" picture that I can't stand; the first picture of a child eating solid foods. I can't count the number of times I have received an email of a friend's kid whose face is covered with crap. Though I appreciate the thoughtfulness, I am honestly not interested in seeing a young child with bean burrito, rice cereal, and chocolate ice cream all over themselves. This is not cute, this is freaking disgusting. I don't mind future pictures of kids going crazy at their first birthday party with cake everywhere; it's just that first close-up shot of kids covered in organic broccoli-peach-soy-cookie dough baby food that is not endearing. So here is a picture that is always a first and won't make your stomach turn...Carson's first bath time Mohawk! Actually, she probably has had many of these but we never captured it on film. Hope you enjoy these cute, clean, smiling faces!
