My Baby Ballerina

Lela is my favorite subject…mostly because I can take as many pictures of her that I want.  For Christmas her auntie made her a tutu.  She’s had it on several times and each time I can’t help but take photos of her.   This morning my brother and I tried everything we could think of to get her to dance…I think her mommy (me) needs to remember that you have to learn to walk before you can learn to dance.  Her toddling is so cute, and when I put her pink shoes (not visible) on  she started walking on her tip toes like a ballerina.  We started throwing a favorite toy back and forth to get her to turn and spin.  It took a bit of “work” to get some “movement” into the photo.

It’s been a little crazy around here. I’m pregnant with my second, and the first is growing like a weed. They’re going to be 15 months apart and things are going to be crazy. To make everything even crazier we’re “trying” out a great dane puppy, did I mention we still have baby parrotlets? Thankfully we’re down to 2 of 5 (parrotlets that is) and hoping that we’ll get rid of another tomorrow. So I haven’t gotten around to many photos of my baby, and as much as I wanted to take one of her and myself for this, getting a picture with me in it is just beyond me right now. So this is a picture of my neice and sister in law. When the niece and nephew came into our lives EVERYONE fell head over heals for them. I can’t help but feel this picture shows this.
