These are my winners because of what is going on in them

This is my little climber.

It’s also one of the last photos where you will see the gummy smile, because this week, two, count ‘em TWO teeth broke through.

And here is wearing the Santa Hat I knitted, the shirt from Jummy, and hanging onto the basket of blocks that were Scout’s as a little tyke.

Sigh.

So I have this funny picture of Alex where he’s butt naked, standing in front of the stairs, holding the baby gate, smiling at the camera, and he totally looks like he’s in body builder pose form. And I find I can not load a naked picture of my baby onto the net.

?Ǭ†Sigh.

So let’s see what else I have from this week.

Where everyone is clothed I mean.

Apparently this is it. He’s still nekkid. But at least I’m not showing off his junk.

So I’ll go vintage on you.

Naked Alex picture where’s he’s showing off his junk.

Needless to say, I didn’t need confirmation from the tech that this was a BOY.

Week Two of Lotus’ weekly winners meme.

Why this picture? Because this bit of blissful baby sleep is after he nursed all day long. Nursed. NURSED. Every. Time. All. Day. Not just a little snack, but like, “Good Lord, Mommy, where have these things been all my life?”

And … because … he’s just beautiful in this shot …

And it’s such a nice complement to *this* little raspberry blowing devil shot

Lotus has started a weekly winners meme.
My photography skillz totally don’t measure up – but I think my subject will help make up for it.

He’s playing with my favorite bear of all time – Jasper.

And he has the “just woke up” pink cheeks going on.
