Little Valentine (10 Months Old)

I hate taking pictures with a flash, because the lighting always looks bad in the photo and natural light is so much more becoming. Plus, it's hard to capture the "sparkle" I see in my children when using a flash. However, I just can't get a good picture of Trey these days without a flash because he is ALWAYS moving! Without a flash the exposure is too long and the image comes out fuzzy or blurred with movement. SO, for my monthly update on Trey, I am just going to post a variety of pictures I have taken recently, none of which I love because they are either blurry or taken with a flash. My apologies in advance!

And I'll add a quick update on our Little Buddy! He is still growing and developing quickly, like all babies do! We are enjoying his fun personality and joyful disposition around the family. He has become quite a bit more mobile this month. He is not crawling, but he moves from place to place by rolling, and by doing this funny scooting thing where he rolls to one shoulder and uses his toes to push himself forward. So funny! It's awkward and inefficient, so he doesn't get very far. But he seems rather pleased with himself about it, because--hey! He's going places! And I am spending less time this month being surprised by how immobile he is, and more time being grateful that he can't get very far on his own. It certainly is a blessing to me right now, while I'm still trying to manage school activities with everyone else.

Anyway, enjoy these cute pictures of our sweet Little Valentine!

Hey! Give me that camera!

The Boy LOVES books! He fits right in. :)

With a very messy face, he needs a bath after dinner (Please excuse the nudity . . . but aren't those buns adorable?).

Scrub-a-dub-dub!
