Vision Forum Deal of the Day: save 40-90%!

Although she’s been smiling all along, Bethany fully mastered the self-conscious social smile yesterday.  Our hard drive space is doomed.

Let the voice of vanity speak up for just before you look at the photo below.  Hey, you looked, didn’t you?  My arm is not that big.  At least I don’t think it is.  It must be the lighting, or the angle.  Or maybe it’s the camera lens.  It couldn’t be the unspecified amount of baby weight I’m still carrying, because those pounds are already accounted for in other places.

Anyway, the photo isn’t about me.  I’m just a prop.  Look how sweet she is.  That’s what we were doing.

Someday I’m going to have to post pictures of those other kids – the old kids.  Cue the ovarian guilt.

    Ah, but I’m procrastinating because I love the old header too. I certainly didn’t plan that photo – it just happened in a moment of frustration when I gave up on getting all of them to smile and look at the camera. The fact that The Boy turned and looked right at the camera as I snapped the photo was just too perfect!

    She is too cute! And “the old kids” comment cracked me up. I don’t think they mind though, mine don’t. Haha, “old kids” that’s funny. :-)

    Ovarian guilt- understand that! Our blog tends to have more posts of our little one than of the bigger kids. :) Guess we’ll just have to pray for another one so the youngest doesn’t get big-headed! :)

    Bethany is adorable!

  11. Kim adds her thoughts::

    If I had a cutie like that at home, my hard drive would be doomed too! Beautiful!

  12. Jenni adds her thoughts::

    Oh, come on Kim! I was actually thinking, “she’s got skinny arms!” :) Really. But compared to her little skinny arms, yours look big, but then again you are thankfully bigger than her so it’s ok! She’s so cute!

  13. Lisa in ND adds her thoughts::

    She’s gorgeous! Thanks for sharing all the wonderful pictures. I think she looks like her daddy.

    We did the same thing when my daughter was born 2 years ago — tons of baby pictures, not so many of her big brothers since that time. :)

    I think you look fantastic for being a mom of 9 who gave birth less than 2 months ago. :)

    So cute!

  15. Tracy adds her thoughts::

  19. Julie adds her thoughts::

    I LOVE her eyes. :)

  20. Sandra adds her thoughts::

    Bethany looks like she’s more aware of what’s around her! She knows she’s in her mommy’s loving arms!

  21. Susan adds her thoughts::

    Oh my, I can’t believe she is already 6 weeks old. It seems like you just had her yesterday. She is beautiful.

  22. Karen adds her thoughts::

    Gracious, that little peanut is so precious. I just love her expression! Do you get ANYTHING done aside from gazing at her?!

    Perry…you rock.
