Pictures and Personality

I am having a hard time trying to capture Whitney’s personality on camera. She will be smiling and laughing and running around, but then when the camera comes out, she stops her talking or singing or whatever cute thing she is doing. Oh well, I will keep trying. Here are a couple pictures of our cute baby.

We were given a footprint making kit when Whitney was born and we planned on using it rightaway. But then it went into the closet and got forgotten about. Well, I found it a couple of days ago as I was doing a deep cleaning. It was impossible to get Whitney’s print though. When I tried to get her handprint, she just squished the material in between her fingers and when I tried to do a footprint, she screamed because she didn’t like the coldness on her toes. What we learned from this experience is that you should always do those kits right after the baby is born because toddlers are too wiggly and impatient. Oh well, if you squint really hard, you can kind of see a foot.

This is a close-up of Whitney. I get a lot of these kinds of pictures because she starts walking toward the camera while it is loading up. But I thought this one was kind of cute because she has a little smile and she is showing off her bottom teeth. Will and I are wondering if she is getting more teeth because she is always putting her fingers in her mouth and she is extra whiny. Maybe she will eat better though once she gets her one-year molars.

 

We keep lots of books in our apartment and Whitney is getting quite good at pulling all our books off our shelves. She especially loves the cookbooks that are on the second shelf. Maybe she will be a chef when she grows up.

We got a couple of outfits for Whitney’s birthday that are meant for when she is older, like 24 months old. These are suppose to be shirts, but they are long enough to be dresses for probably a couple of months. And they make for very cute dresses. This is a picture of Whitney and I right after church. We even got Whitney to smile for a little while, at least long enough to take a picture.

This picture shows off Whitney’s personality a bit more. She grabbed a pen and then tried to run away as fast as possible. That’s her trick; when she has something she is not suppose to have, she runs as far away as possible as fast as possible. Of course, we are both faster than her and can catch her quite quickly, but she still tries to do it.

We finally got a picture of Whitney in her sunglasses, isn’t she cute? So this is what we have been up to lately. Whitney continues to bring us great joy and we love watching her grow up.
