iheartfaces - 'Beach Fun'

This weeks theme for iheartfaces' weekly photo challenge is 'Beach Fun' and what is more fun than a baby's first summer of enjoying the beach? The cool water and the feeling of sand between your {chubby} toes and all that sand that you can shovel in your mouth :)

Can you tell I have baby-envy...I keep posting pictures of my friends baby boys. But do you blame me when they are this stinkin' cute...

Big 'G', Little 'G', what begins with G?

Dr. Seuss is one of my FAVORITE authors. And if you have ever read 'Dr. Suess's: ABC An Amazing Alphabet Book' you may know that the page dedicated to 'G' reads; 'Big G, little g, what begins with G? Goat and goo-goo goggles, G...g...G'
Well, a couple of weeks ago my friend Lisa mentioned that she calls her two boys (that are just 369 days apart in age!) Big 'G' and Little 'G' so as to not call them each other's names. As soon as she said it, I immediately thought of the Dr. Suess book!
In Lisa's story, this would be 'Big G' aka Gage.
And this is 'Little G' aka Garrett.
Oh, and right behind Big G is another adorable little 'G'....Gabbie!
A day at the river, hanging out on the beach was the perfect time to squeeze in a little newborn photo shoot for Little G. He was such a trooper. I think he slept 95% of the time we were there!
Even though he slept like a champ and let his Mommy relax for a little (well, as much as you can relax with a just-turned-1 year old on the run) I did manage to catch Little G with his eyes open for a couple of shots.
I also captured some pretty cute pictures of the full moon that was out in the middle of the afternoon!Doesn't Gage' adorably chubby little self remind you of the Michelin Man? And we can just pretend that those are my tan, toned legs off to the left. Oh wait...that won't work cause I was taking the picture!
If you are curious how Big G gets such beautiful milky-white skin and plump buns, the answer is MILK...and LOTS of it!
Back to the newborn...
Would you look at this adorable little doll!?!
Makes me wish I had just one more little one to snuggle. Probably not going to happen but seeing little babies always gives me the fever!
I bet the one big question weighing on your mind is: "How on Earth did you manage to catch Little G smiling so much?"
Simple. You would smile too if you had just emptied your tummy all over the pesky photographers prop! (see the proof in the bottom right of the pic below!) ISH!Once the damage was done, we figured we may as well make the best of it and capture these adorable little smiles :)
Oh and after the shoot was over, Little Mister whizzed all over the sling too. Good thing it is white and could take a good bleaching :) I just love photographing little sleepy newborns. I recently picked up two new baby props that I can not wait to try out. Now I just have to get my hands on this little bubba again!

i heart faces - 'All About Babies'

Babies. All about babies. What's not to love? I can tell you that I love that iheartfaces chose 'All About Babies' as their theme this week. You know for sure that the competition will be stiff and that there will be a plethora of cuteness for our viewing pleasure. I can't wait to see what everyone else has entered!
Since my kiddos were out of their itty bitty baby stage before I got my DSLR and really got interested in photography, I am entering a picture of my dear friend, Lisa's little boy. He is the cutest little rolly-poly baby I have ever laid eyes upon. I could just eat him right up! This pic was taken last Oct when he was 3 mos old. Crazy to believe he will be 1 year old this July AND he will be a BIG brother around the same time. His Birthday is July 15th and his little brother is set to arrive around July 24th!!! Can't wait to meet and photograph that little darlin' as well.

i ♥ faces - 'Sweet Dreams'

It's that time of week again i ♥ faces time that is! This weeks photo challenge is one sure to please.

'Sweet Dreams'

No, I'm not going to bed. That is this weeks theme, silly!

I was originally going to submit a picture of Grant, at 2 years old, sleeping in his high chair with only his diaper and a baseball cap on and a plate full of food. It is quite funny and sure to get a few laughs but it doesn't really go along with i ♥ faces vision of witnessing a persons photography ability evolve and blossom as it is a true candid shot. Instead, I chose to enter a photo I took of my best friends little boy, Gage at 1 month old.
I guess, for a dose of humor, I could tell you that right after this picture was taken, little Gage passed some big (and fairly juicy) gas. The look of shock and awe on his Daddy's face was priceless. Too bad I didn't get a picture of that face...but I don't think the best of the best image stabilization lens could have helped with the camera shake that was going on from me giggling hysterically!

Make sure to head over to www.iheartfaces.blogspot.com to see all of the other sleeping beauties.

Until next time...Sweet Dreams!
