It seems no matter how hard we try, we cannot keep Riley clean when feeding her. She finds some way to make a huge mess. Mostly this involves either putting her fingers in her mouth, getting food on her hands, and then rubbing them all over her forehead/eyes/hair. Without fail. Every time. And she screams when we try to wipe her face. Every time. Wonder how we'll ever take her to eat in a restaurant??
Well, at least she's enjoying her solid foods these days! She eats a TON now! She went from eating like maaaaybe 1-2 little jars of food a day to eating 3-5 a day! And she eats vegetables and meats, and tons of finger foods, she's almost perfected the pincer grasp (okay, maybe not perfected, but she can pick up little items and feed herself pretty successfully).
Remember how I said I had my first newborn shoot today? Well, it did not go exactly as expected. Who am I kidding, it went nothing like I had hoped. I was there for almost 2 hours and the little peanut didn't sleep AT ALL! And she cried for about the last hour! We decided to call it a day and try again tomorrow morning, so we'll see how it goes. The good thing is, I managed to get some good shots of her with her parents (awake, of course), so today was no a complete fail! It also taught me I have a lot to learn about newborn photography. I have a lot to reflect on and share, but I'm not sure if this blog is really the best place to do it. Maybe after tomorrow, we'll see. Would you be interested in hearing some of the things I learn on some of my photography adventures?
