Sunday snapshot: {the littlest littles}

These first three photos, taken within days of each other, are in a series simply entitled Stuck.  Subtitle:  Parenting is More Fun When You Can Laugh at Your Children's Predicaments.  [Disclaimer:  no Chinese babies were actually harmed during this photo session.  Ticked, yes.  But not harmed.] 




First the funny, then the cute.

Princess Tantrumella
We recently switched her from her toddler bed back to the pack-n-play; she was bothering the other kids, pulling books off shelves, emptying drawers of their clothes, sleeping in front of the door, etc.  She needed containment.  This week we realized she had defeated us.  So of course I wanted to watch her do it.



Now for the really sweet, including the ever-adorable post-bath baby photos, which are really hard to get when I'm both the bath administrator and the photographer.

Dad's goatee is awesomely fun!

I have a feeling your "Princess Tantrumella" is similar to my "Prunella!" But they make life interesting, don't they?!?

So, firecracker has a new name... love it! I think ill stick with firecracker - easier to spell :o)

Love the bath pix and the stuck pix... my first 2 never fell asleep in the highchair, and I wanted one of those classic pictures so bad... that when I was #3 headed to sleep in the chair - I waited him out with camera ready... instead of putting him in a more comfy place... so I SO get the - wait there shu, I've gotta get the camera. 3 days in a row - wow! That would tick me off too "sheesh, not AGAIN!"

Hugs j - lots of quiet hugs!

The first thing I noticed is how nice and filled out those little Chinese legs are! Great job!! You're awesome girlfriend!

Our laws of distance between crib bars were not meant for tiny active Chinese inhabitants! We can attest to that as well! And, our tiny Chinese inhabitant can climb out of her crib...or propel herself out. UGH.

I love you, J, and these precious kiddos. You maneuver the simultaneous administrator/photographer roles quite well, I must say! :0) I loved being over last night and getting to enjoy a little time with you all. You and Vince truly are wonderful parents.
