I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to post today. I had no grand plan. Since Anya has received the majority of view time this week, I wanted to feature Kailan. What to show you, though? I rummaged through some old CD’s I had from my film camera and found these little gems. They were some of my favorites.
Every month for the first year of their lives I had a little photo shoot for them. I didn’t take them to Picture People or Sears or JC Penny’s. This was mommy’s job…and it was the highlight of my day when I was on maternity leave with them. I had to do it on the EXACT anniversary each month, and I would plan their outfit changes days in advance, making sure I had enough film for the occasion. They usually didn’t accommodate all the outfit changes before they started to get a little cranky with mommy treating them like little dolls.
It allowed me to get some of these priceless gems, though.
They didn’t realize it was just a small prelude of things to come. 
What memories do you have to share today?
so cute — i especially love that last one — that look is priceless! my “memory” is a bit different…

Oh his peach fuzz!! That is too adorable for words. I had a little different take on memory today, too…this one was a hard one!!

Gosh I LOVE THAT Hair!! Wonderful pictures. Harrison is about to turn 3, I’ll be posting some baby pictures soon. In the mean time I had something else tugging at my heart.
My post is slightly long-winded this week, sorry, feel free to skip over anything. http://justaddcolor.blogspot.com/2008/02/theme-thursday-making-memories.html
Love his fuzzy hair. That last one is my favorite !!
Here’s mine … Memory

How sweet! I did’t go back that far with my memory but it is just as special.

Those are great! I can’t believe how grown up he is when you compare those to how grown up he is now!

Aww I just LOVE them all–but the second one is my favorite. His expression seems to be all sweet and loving for his mama

You are such a good Mommy to take the photos right on the exact dates! They’ll love knowing that you took these photos later.
We’re going down memory lane with Zane’s first birthday having come and gone…tear, tear.

I love the expression in the last photo. What a cutie!
I focused on a different generation for my theme. I also ended up writing a short essay. It just had to be done.

Mine’s finally up;

I love your idea of doing sittings at home with new wardrobes each month. I think I did something similar subconsciously and wish I’d put a little bit more concrete effort into what I did accidently.
I took a slightly different approach to this one.

How sweet! I try and do the same thing with my kids. Here’s my memory. Maybe more of a memory for my mother, but still!
here’s mine.

Adorable pictures!
I tried to do the same thing–the monthly photo shoots. After a while, it didn’t happen, but I think I’ve got a bunch of portraits that are so much more meaningful than the Penney’s or Sears portraits to me. Plus, it certainly is nice to not have to pack up a child and haul him to a store during his normal nap time
Here’s one of my portraits…

I’m a bit late but I just stumbled onto this meme. My post is “In Memory of Spot III.”

Stacy, you are so creatively and professionally talented. SIMPLY WOW. Such beautiful shots and children.
Thanks everyone for participating and thanks for the compliments…I really appreciate it.
Kai was born with hair, but it all fell out. When it came back in it stuck up straight like he put his finger in a light-socket LOL! We still can’t cut it short because if it’s too short it sticks up.
tehe. W.W.’s does that too. And he didn’t have any hair for a long time due to having a serious case of cradle cap.
I love, love, LOVE his spiky hair!!! So cute, and so KAI!
I, obviously, didn’t get to play along this week. Too much going on yesterday.
What a great idea … I wish I had started my motherhood in this era of online companions and advice. I take it they are twins? That scowl is priceless.
