Child model I think not

I decided that this year we would do a holiday card, complete with a picture of our little monster looking all Christmasy and cute. I've gotten a bunch of these over the years, and it is one of those Things That You Do while your child is still cute and has not begun the sudden descent into the fiery and uglifying circles of puberty.

Easier said than done!

Trying to pose a 3 month old for a picture is like trying to hold hands with an octopus. First you have to prop her up, then look at the camera! Oh no she's spitting up so let's wipe that off, and now she's falling over, so sit her back up and look look look LOOK AT MOMMEEE! and now she's sliding down again and foaming at the mouth and all she wants to do is cram her hands into her mouth, stare at her feet and fold herself into a V shape that is NOT conducive to good picture taking.

  1. I find each of these quite cute, but together, they're quite cute indeed. Perhaps a Christmas card triptych.
