we're already using him for our personal entertainment

Ben's uncles in Maui sent the most gorgeous package today...

Tiffany's boxes really do have a special allure, don't they? Inside was a silver rattle with his initials on it. I discovered quickly that you can take some wicked cool mirror portraits with that little number. Matt and I had our best yet punchy-sleep deprived hysterical laugh taking photos with it.

Some of you requested a shot of Ben crying. This one I love.

Such a cute idea! Double portraits on a rattle!

Ah, it's so good to take those crying shots once in a while in the name of realism. Not that the crying is a bad thing. It's just that it's all part of being a baby (and it's cute sometimes). Great reflective shots! :-)

I love this! :) Isn't it amazing how easily amused you are when sleep deprived??
The photos in the reflection of the rattle are so very clever.
Keep em'coming...

Posted by: blackbird at December 23, 2006 04:13 AM

These pictures are way cool, love the last one!

Posted by: luzie at December 23, 2006 12:50 AM

First, nice use of the word wicked. Love that...it makes me laugh every time someone uses it!

Second, I wanna kiss his little face off! He's cute even when crying.

Good luck with the non-sleeping...hang in there!

I have a collection of crying baby shots I've taken! I love them:) These are adorable in the rattle!

Posted by: joy at December 22, 2006 11:07 PM

A~

I love these photos.. and the crying, even the crying is sweet. What's he smell like?

There is nothing better than a new mother talking about the way her baby smells.

you do good work, that is quite a handsome boy. I'm glad that that sweet, milky- sour new baby smell doesnt come through the computer or I would be craving another. Enjoy every second, this is what life is all about.

Posted by: gossamer at December 22, 2006 09:11 PM

that is indeed hilarious...

it strikes me as SUCH an andrea-does-baby-portraits photo.

(and i mean that in the VERY best way!)

*big grin*

Posted by: Leonie at December 22, 2006 09:09 PM

Aw, look at that! He's even handsome while he's crying and his reflection's a little warped in the rattle!

You just wait until you hear him laugh for the first time. Keep a bucket handy, you'll no doubt melt into a great big useless, messy pile of goo. :)

Posted by: Michelle at December 22, 2006 08:51 PM

sweet!

Posted by: kristine at December 22, 2006 08:39 PM

hehe, at least try to enjoy the sleep deprivation.

man, he's so CUTE! killin' me.

Posted by: erika at December 22, 2006 08:29 PM

A friend sent me this via email. It is a video of some kids at the school she works at with an unusual way of wishing people a merry christmas. I think in your sleep-deprived state of mind you will find this even more enjoyable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2I6Nv9vRCY

Love, love, love the reflection pics!

Posted by: Jeri at December 22, 2006 07:59 PM

Posted by: joleen at December 22, 2006 07:52 PM

Ah. Real parenthood.

He's so wonderful. Enjoy. As I know you are.

All the best to you and yours.
