She’s Expressive

She's expressive.

Eleanor was looking so ridiculously cute in her pink headband (a gift from Kenzie Poo) that I wanted to snap a quick photo. I’ve been meaning to capture the faces she makes for quite some time though (inspired by this), and I caught so many great expressions that I just had to share them.

    That’s so funny. I have a collage of images JUST like that, with about 21 totally different expressions of Nolan when he was about 9 months old. We have it on the wall (he is 6 now) and I still crack up every time I look at it, and it is especially funny to see his expressions of today already reflected in that series.
    Also, I want to take a bite out of Eleanor’s deliciously chunky thighs.

    I think it would be so cool to print this collage of Eleanor (BIG!) and frame it.

    Really nice work – from you *and* Eleanor! :D
