backlit beauty

Last week was rough. Evangeline was extremely clingy and crabby for 4 days straight. After I found a huge lump on her neck, I decided to take her to the doctor. Strep throat. While it’s not as common, babies can get strep 🙁 Because of the size of her lymph node, she was also tested for TB and had her blood checked. Thankfully, the tests came back fine and she was back to health after she got some antibiotics in her system. 

Since she was feeling better and she looked like a little doll baby, I took her out on the deck to take some pictures. Backlight is so tricky! Good thing I have a cute subject to work with.

 

 

 

If you’re around her for any length of time, she will likely make this face. Don pointed out that it looks like she’s taking a “selfie” which makes this picture even more funny.

 

 my favorite 🙂

 

 

 

I hope we’re done with strep throat and doctor visits for a while! But she sure was cute waiting for the doctor today.

reindeer are better than people

**The blog title has nothing to do with this post. But I hate titling posts and the Frozen soundtrack has been on repeat this week. So that’s the best I could come up with. 

 

 

I hope to be able to look back at my pictures someday (hopefully soon!) and see an improvement in the quality. I do like a lot of the pictures I’ve been getting, but I know it’s because I think the subjects are pretty cute. And my number one subject is Miss Evangeline. The boys are busy running around and playing while I’m trying to figure out the settings on this camera. This girl likes to be by my side at all times…which is why most of the pictures are usually close up.

 

 

Usually I get pictures of such a sweet face.

But today, this is the look I was getting. Over and over again. For some reason, she became obsessed with this facial expression. What a goof.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then there’s this silly guy. He was having a “potato sack” race with Kingston and then decided to wear the bag. He asked “Mommy, do I look like I work at Walmart?”

 

…Maybe not. But he does look like one of the classy people who shop there.
