I Heart Faces - Laughter

"Bath Drops That Fall on My Nose and Eyelashes"
This weeks theme over laughter was really fun. Since many of our photos are of laughter, I had to look back through all of my recent pictures in order to choose my favorite. This photo is not contrived; it's the real moment. This photo captures the first time we decided to sprinkle water on her during her bath. She just seemed enraptured by the sensation of tiny little bath droplets landing on her little head, eyelashes, nose, shoulders, and tummy.


"A Mommy Entangled in a Child's Tire Swing!"

If only you could have been here seconds before I whipped out my camera. Panic was in the air! My best friend decided to swing in a child's tire swing with her very heavy and cumbersome baby boy. She found her legs caught in the center of the swing and unable to escape the jaws of this park toy! Before I lent a helping hand, I quickly sifted one handedly (while holding my baby girl) through my diaper bag to grab my camera. Hey, that's what friends are for!

I Heart Faces- A Little Antoinette


This photo was actually taken last weekend on my daughter's FIRST birthday! We decided to celebrate her birthday with flighty feminity like that of Marie Antoinette- thus the very frou-frou hat and feather!

Our daughter seemed very anxious from all of the commotion - the giddy laughter from grandparents and numerous cameras surrounding her. As you can see in this picture, she looks very solemn as she is attempting to understand what is going on! As the hostess of the party, I only had a few moments to snap a couple of pictures of her. This photo is right in the moment-no time for posing or getting her to grin at Mommy. There were too many gifts to open and cupcakes to be eaten!






On my main blog a la parisienne, I will be posting more pics of her Marie Antoinette style party.
