seven
Harper is seven months old today! She may not have been chosen for Regis and Kelly's beautiful baby contest, but she will always get our vote!





This past month has been full of milestones for her: jumping in her play seat, chasing and chomping cheerios, talking (sometimes coherently!), sitting up very well, and more I can't think of right now. In addition to doing she's growing like crazy. I was looking at how long her legs and torso were today. Where'd our baby go already? Oh -- remember how I said she wasn't rolling over? Well, apparently she didn't appreciate that comment very much, because she was making a royal fuss in her bed one night last week. I finally went in to check on her and there she was on her tummy, (she sleeps on her back), smiling brightly and as proud she could be. Now I can understand her desire for us to be excited, considering how much we've been encouraging her to roll over for the past few months, but the fact that she wanted to celebrate in her crib from 3-4 am was really not what the rest of us had in mind. The next morning three of us were walking around bleary-eyed while one little stinker decided she needed to sleep in until 9 am. Guess who that was? So anyway, I learned my lesson. No more mentioning what she's not doing.

    Yea for seven months! So funny that she was ready to celebrate her little victory, even though it happened while she was sleeping!

    Tell me about your lighting. Are you al natural? Do you have many windows? Do you use a north window? You always have such great lighting!

    Have a good day!

    I love when the start interacting on a level beyond "Feed me!" and "Change me!" and "Hold me!" She's a doll!

    Regis is obviously getting senile in his old age & Kelly must have tossed her hair a little too far to the left & it covered one of her eyes -- Harper so could have won!

    I'm feelin' my little Kole (10 mos) is way behind because when I try to get him to say something important like perhaps "Mama", he just gives me a goofy grin like he knows he can say it, but WON'T!

    What do Regis and Kelly know? They obviously don't know a cute baby when they see one! Harper is a DOLL! Love those pictures, Joanna!

    I LOVE how she's holding her little feet- what a doll!! Love the expressions you're able to capture too. She would have gotten my vote for beautiful baby!

    Oh, and about your NC question - we were outside of Charlotte - in Huntersville. Beautiful part of the country! :-)

About Us
      Hi! I'm Joanna, author of this journal. My husband Mark and I are photographers in Asheville, North Carolina. Most recently we collaborated on a 12 week beginner photography course, the contents of which you can find
    • here.
    • The name of our company, Tuesday's Frog, is based on an almost wordless children's book about frogs that go flying on lily pads one night. We love it because it tells a story in pictures. Cole & Harper are our children, and frequent (though not always willing) photography subjects. So here you'll find not only the story of our lives, but of those we've photographed as well. We'd love to tell your story, too!
