Mommy's Crazy's Ideas...

So there was this one day I decided take some pics of Joshua in these cute little overalls because they were Jeremiah's. It didn't go at all like I planned. Me and my crazy ideas...

I set him in Jeremiah's recliner (yes, it actually reclines!) and he gave me this bored look. I think he looks like the snotty therapist picking at his nails, bored with listening to your problems!

"So what you're telling me is..."
Bored

"Whee! Mommy let me lay on the couch instead!"
Whee!

Doin' the happy dance...
Ha-ay!

And dagummit! I chopped off his hand in this next one. My excuse is that I was standing on the couch, trying to keep my balance and not knock him off in the process! But he's so stinkin' cute I think I'll keep it anyway...
Joshua

And the B&W version...

Mommy Moment: Jeremiah loves to play "falling down." This is the game where he pretends to run into the wall and fall over, or he pretends to trip over random objects (or nothing) and falls head over heels with lots of grunting and crashing sounds. (I hear his daddy loved this game as a child too...) So I am folding laundry (does it ever end?!?!) and we're watching Boo! on Qubo. 'Growling Tiger' tells us to pretend to drive the racecar with him so I encourage Jeremiah to join me by putting his hands on the "wheel" and drive really fast. He usually just stares at me when I try to get him to pretend play along with the TV. As if, mom. Me and my crazy ideas... As soon as the light turned green for us to start driving, Jeremiah grabs the "wheel" and 'floors it' then turns sharply and crashes, tumbling off the recliner yelling "Oh no! I crashed! Ahhhh!!!!!" as he went. But of course you did, Evel Knievel...

  3. I think, as photographers sometimes we nix out pics that are just beautiful because of little details like fingers. (ok...they are a big detail, but you get what I mean) His face tells the story...all the love from his mommy makes him so HAPPY!

    And, you know...I could never get my girls to wear overalls either!
