"Naked" Baby Pitures

Baby Smiles

Trial and Error

After much of the aforementioned title, I believe that I may have succeeded in uploading a fairly significant number of baby pictures to an online photo album (after repeated suggestions to do so). I will theoretically be placing a link to said album at the end of this post so as to facilitate the visiting of relatives to it. I feel the syntax of that last sentence was more complicated than it needed to be. Moving on. Please let me know if you are able to see all of the pictures, and feel no shame in telling me over and over again how cute my baby is and how pretty, and how lucky I am. I'm okay with it. I would have just posted them all to the blog, but then people can't download and print pictures of my baby, and why wouldn't they want to? Strangers should be vying for the chance to place portraits of her on their walls, no? And before you ask, no, I am not in any way biased in my opinion. Let me know if you have any questions. It was far easier to post pictures to this website than the blog, and it had the added benefit of being able to have rows and columns, not just one big column, that seriously bugs me. Sorry, tangent, back to the whole it being easier thing, that means that there should be new pictures more often, sorry for the time gaps. There are two albums, one is semi-professional, I don't know if I need to put links for both for you to be able to look at both, but I am just in case. Good luck!

Naked Baby

There are a few things in life I swore I would never do. I swore I would never join Facebook, I swore I would never have a blog, and I swore I would never have pictures taken of my children whilst he/she was scantily clad. (This is just part of my I swear I will never list, but I won't bore you by going on for days about the rest of it).

I have now done two of the three things and I feel the other is close behind, peer pressure's a bitch (I'm sorry, I really tried to think of a more appropriate way to word that, I failed, nothing truly expressed the sentiment I wished to convey). In all fairness to me, Significant Other, not I, started the blog to show off wee one (and I mocked him mercilessly for it, before eventually giving in to pretty up said blog. Now I feel, no fear, I may become addicted), and wonderful mother paid for the naked baby pictures (which admittedly, I love. My naked child is cuter than Anne Geddes' naked children) because wee one is her first grandchild and she is currently loving all things baby.

P.S. Yes, I call my husband Significant Other, but only when communicating with others, I don't call him that to his face that would be stupid (though probably not as stupid as calling him Significant Other because I still haven't fully accepted that I'm married. Yes, I realize Significant Other is not necessarily a proper noun, but I really do use it as though it's his name). Oh, and to my sisters and my future children, I'm sorry, I'm pretty sure my mother will only spoil this grandchild to such an extreme degree, the novelty has to wear off eventually, this doesn't mean she will love any future grandchildren any less (okay, maybe a little less, but it will never be enough for anyone to tell).

Baby bath and misc.

Here are a couple pictures of her "first" bath. I say "first" because one of the things the hospital took from us is the memory of her first bath, since we were not permitted to participate or even observe. This doesn't really bother me, though I feel it should. Everyone has pictures of their baby's first bath, it's just what we, as a people, do. I'll have to make up for it somehow by photographing other milestones normally left uncelebrated, first tattoo, first body piercing, first burned down building (she is my daughter after all). Also included in this little batch is a picture of Izzy with Treagan (I hope I spelled that right), the size comparison is rather humorous in nature. Those are the main categories, anything else thrown in are fairly self-explanatory.

First Attempt

I will be attempting to create a blog for the sole purpose of easily sharing pictures of our baby with others. I am not a blogger, it is not something that I do, it just seems to me to be the easiest way to share photos with a large number of people without having to worry about attachment sizes and such. I don't know how long we will keep this up or how often we will update it, but at least I'm trying.
