Cute Baby Smiles

by Kacey on 1/18/2012

Over the holidays I went over to my friend Janice’s house to see her first grandbaby. Her son is the same age as my Michael. It was so weird to see this cute little baby and think back on when her son was this age! I, of course, managed to grab some photos while I was there.

smiley baby

Yes, he really was that smiley. All. The. Time.

baby in chair

I managed to rearrange her house a bit to get a chair pulled over to her nice big window.

still smiling

Yes, still smiling even after I plopped him here and there and everywhere. So adorable!

It’s weird to be entering that stage where my friends are becoming grandparents. (Note to my children…I’m in NO hurry to get there myself…) Anyway, I had a great afternoon of baby watching. He sure is one cute kiddo, isn’t he?

Welcome to Twenty Twelve!!

champagne for two

SuperGuy and I spent a quiet night at home for New Year’s Eve…with a bit of champagne. Nice evening! So love that more than going out and partying. Besides, we were exhausted from trying to keep up with the boys when they were in town for Christmas!!

Now the new year hits. A fresh page. Time to make goals and start fresh. I love a new year. It seems like you have a whole blank slate to start over with.

This year I’m going to do some kind of personal photography project. No people involved. Separate from my photography biz. I haven’t quite nailed down what I’m going to do yet though. Not a 365. (a pic a day). I don’t think it will even be a 52 project (a photo a week.) I think I’ll pick a theme and then do the photos whenever I get inspired throughout the year…but try for at least once a month.

I seen 50 days of taking a photo with your 50mm lens. (or 35 days with a 35mm, 85 days with an 85mm, etc.) Macro shots. Self portraits. Or picking an object and shooting it in different locations. Capturing sites around your town in the different seasons. Sunrises. Sunsets. Or more gritty projects like single moms, teen pregnancy, homeless, etc.

Do any of you do a personal photography project? I’ll let you know when I decide on mine. Still rolling it around in my head for a bit.

I’ll leave you with one more photo of our New Year’s Eve…

Love this little one holding on in the wind during this winter storm.

gateway to the west-St. Louis arch

Love this one I captured of downtown St. Louis when we were stuck in traffic on the Illinois side of the river.

my parents

This one of my parents makes me smile every time I see it!

…since my sister hates to have her photo taken, I couldn’t resist sharing this one, just one more time. I absolutely love this one of her and my brother-in-law. Yes, they are this fun in person too.

another bird photo…just because…

4 month old cavalier puppy

and my adorable Maggie. Of course.

Our family has had a great 2011 and we’re very grateful for all our blessings and all our friends. Hope you all have a wonderful 2012!
