Sydney will be 10 months old in a week and she is neither crawling yet, nor has any teeth. BUT....today she clapped for the first time! The first real, intentional clapping. I was spooning her applesauce this morning and, without paying much thought, started singing one of our usual songs, "Clap your hands, clap your hands..." and she immediately started clapping with a...
What is it about babies that's so fun to tease? They have no idea the silly things we put them through just to get a good laugh. Thanks, Sydney, for being our favorite source of entertainment. ...
I was making waffles this morning and trying to think of something yummy to put on top. Then I remembered an old home video of all us kids around the kitchen table eating pancakes. To most people, it probably looked like a pretty unappetizing selection of toppings (or should I say amount of toppings). Our pancakes were drowning in syrup, oozing with mounds of grape...
Here are a few shots from the wedding in Texas last week. For more images, check out my photo blog. ...
Sydney was playing with her empty plastic easter eggs the other day when suddenly I noticed her tiny finger gushing blood. It was probably from the rough edges of the eggs, and she didn't seem to even notice or care (much better than her mommy's reaction). It took forever trying to put on a bandade on her miniature finger. And it didn't last...
I get to play in warm Houston, photographing a wedding with my friend Marcy, while Tommy and Haley have to stay home in this: ...
I wonder what it's like to be tossed in the air by a giant 6'4" guy. Sydney was smiling and squealing with her daddy the other day while I was playing around with shutter speeds. But now when we try to toss her in the air, she clutches tight to our arms so she can't go anywhere! It's one of my favorite things to...
Look at this adorable little guy! Mason hung out with me in the studio the other day while I played around with some props. He made the funniest faces the entire time! He was scowling for the first few minutes until Malinda started singing one of his favorite songs, and within seconds he was bouncing around with a huge grin. I'll have to...
I've been enjoying all the April showers recently. Rain is one of my favorite things. So I decided to play around with water drops. It turns out to be a lot more difficult than it looks! I had a big blue bowl filled to the rim outside and shot hundreds to get just a handful of good ones. But it was a lot...
It turns out that my daughter is a fish just like me. She loves anything to do with water. If there's a running faucet, she lunges from my arms to play. She especially loves bath time, and will try to stay in the tub even after all the water has drained out. She usually comes out looking like a raisin because she plays for so...

Easter was a lot of fun this year. It seems like every holiday is ten times better when you have kids around. I had a hard time narrowing down pictures (just be glad I didn't post all 100 that I took), so here's a little peek into our day:Sydney and I woke up to find surprise easter baskets left by the Easter Bunny (thanks,...
Sydney's 9 months old in a few days, can you believe it? Here's what she's been up to...she's seriously thinking about crawlingno teeth, but you wouldn't know it by the way she chows down her food and chomps on mama when nursingshe's laughing a lot (and I'm pretty sure a budding sense of humor)went through a recent growth spurt where she was eating...
