Mystery Baby

9/6/12

 

I was trying to do something I saw on Pinterest, but I think I waited too long to get the teeny, sleeping newborn.  Oh well.  Princess Sparkley enjoyed it.  We'll be posting some of her photo shoots with Mystery Baby soon.

This Is The Way The Baby Sleeps

This seems like the most uncomfortable place to fall asleep, but all my kids have done it at some point. Here's Baby X:









Here's Buddy from January 2006 when he was approaching two years old:




And because we didn't get a digital camera until just before Buddy was born, all of our Princess Sparkley baby pictures are developed, in an album or a box, and not on the computer. So no pictures of her in a high chair, but here are some of her in some of the weird positions she's fallen asleep in:


When Buddy was born and we moved Princess Sparkley to a big girl bed (age: 2 years) this is how how she fell asleep the first few nights, in her book corner, everything off the shelf, and in this instance, her head UNDER the bed.


This is from before she turned 2. She falls asleep with a book on her face fairly often. I've fallen asleep in a book, and with a book on my chest, but I don't think ever on my face.


Here's Princess Sparkley, about 4 years old, asleep with her legs crossed up in the air:



Buddy, about 2 1/2:




Wow, I have a lot of pictures of my kids asleep in odd places and positions. I'll have to post more later.

Who does Baby X look like?

Pumpkin Patch in years past

This is the Pumpkin Patch our first Autumn in Kansas... 2005. Princess Sparkley getting measured, Boy wandering around in bottom right corner.

2005... picking their pumpkins. Princess Sparkley has just turned three. Boy is about 1 1/2.

2005 again... Boy and Princess Sparkley up in the playground. (Almost the same shot I got this year).

Our 2nd Autumn in Kansas... 2006. I got Boy to stand still this year for the growth chart.

Here they are out in the patch last year picking their pumpkins.



Two years ago they look way young to me. Last year, they look about the same as now.

First and Second Birthdays Remembered

Here's Boy on his first birthday in California. The funny thing about his birthdays is that I always have good intentions of making him a fancy cake and it never really works. I can make some pretty good desserts, but I do a horrible HORRIBLE job frosting cakes. So Boy's first birthday cake I found in a magazine and was supposed to be a stack of baby blocks with his name and the number one on them. Not so. Here is the carrot cake he ended up with. (Which I don't think he ate since he isn't really a dessert person, even at one.)

Happy First Birthday Baby Boy!


Not having much fun blowing out candles, is he?


My brother has a little boy, M, two days younger than Boy. This is them celebrating their first birthday together. (Boy is signing "all done," still wanting nothing to do with desserts or birthdays.)
This is Boy's second birthday. I attemped a Thomas Cake. Had a mishap with the frosting (of course) but luckily had some Cool Whip in the freezer that saved it... sort of.

Boy on his second birthday.

Easter 2005

These are pictures from Easter of 2005 when Boy was approaching one and Princess Sparkley was two and a half. These pictures still crack me up.

Cousins in a swing revisited

This is Princess Sparkley and cousin right after Boy was born sharing a swing in California... July 2004. Princess Sparkley is almost two, so her cousin must be just over 18 months old.

Here they are now, March 2007 sharing a swing. Princess Sparkley is approximately 4 1/2 and cousin is just over three years.
