The plan was to blog about the gingerbread house that my kids put together the other day. It was the shortest-lasting gingerbread house in history. Not only did the kids decorate it with frosting and candies, but they sprinkled it with Oreo crumbs (dirty snow?) and ate it immediately. They saved me the hassle of having to find a place to store it and then finally breaking it to them that we’d have to toss their creation. It was perfect.
However, when I searched for the pictures this afternoon, they were nowhere to be found. Apparently, I deleted them from my memory card before transferring them to the computer.
So I get to show off some newborn pictures.
You won’t complain, will you?
As precious as newborns are, they tend to be difficult to photograph. And those cute, sleeping babies? Ha! I seem to get all of the super-alert ones. That’s fine. They’re still adorable.
Just wiggly.

I agree, they are difficult to shoot! But adorable. I have never had one that will sleep through a shoot! What a precious little one!
Allison @ Alli n Son says
I love the shot of the baby in the bucket. So adorable!
Vera @ Lady and the Blog says
how sweet! oh my – some of these pics are making my ovaries hurt!
Tara @ Feels Like Home says
So cute! That’s not your niece, is it? She’s a lot bigger than that by now, I’m thinking. Those pictures make me even more ready for my own babe to make an appearance. :)
Cecily R says
SOOOOO sweet.
I haven’t gotten over my fear of photographing (shooting seems REALLY weird to say in this case) babies. I did a shoot last weekend and I was shaking in my boots!
Susie's Homemade says
So precious!
Andrea says
Awww!!! Beautiful newborn shots! I love how the pic of the baby feet on the edge of the can….SO perfect. And love the first shot a lot too.
Jenny says
Now THAT will bring a smile to your face on a Friday morning!
DaBudges says
Adorable! These shots are Great!
Lolli says
Aww! Thanks! It’s especially fun to do newborn shoots when I’ve recently taken the mama’s maternity pics.
Lolli says
Are you kidding? I would love to! It might just take me a little while to drive to your house. :)
Lolli says
I guess I should be glad it doesn’t happen more often than that. And I should be especially grateful that I didn’t delete the pictures form that newborn shoot.
Lolli says
I’m glad I’m not the only one! :)
Lolli says
Of course, if I had posted pictures of the gingerbread house my cute kids would have been in the shots. ;)
scrappysue says
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw – nuthin’ sweeter!
Lolli says
Thank you!! I took a lot of pictures of her feet. She was stretching her legs out towards the camera the entire time!
Lolli says
That’s exactly how I feel. I love babies, but I am not up to another of my own.
Honey Mommy says
So cute!
Are you going to take pictures of my baby girl when she comes in March? You do such a great job!
Run DMT says
Man, I hate when I do things like that. That really stinks! I am so sorry that those memories are gone with the gingerbread house. :-( But those babies pics are so stinkin’ cute! Nice save. ;-)
Jess says
my newborns that I shoot NEVER sleep for me, either!
Kara says
I’d rather look at newborn picture than gingerbread any day. These are precious!! :)
Scary Mommy says
Gasp! I’m in love with the feet one. So unbelievably precious!!
Carolyn (temysmom) says
There is nothing like a newborn baby. It was my absolute favorite age. I do miss it… but not enough to have another.
