Nice set, Zane. Your Leyla looks like her mom and I think your nephew looks like Leyla. Lots of family resemblance. For someone who shy's from rug rats you got a lot of nice light and expression. You need to get some formal shot of the kids without all the folks in the background. The one of your nephew in front of the bookcase is adorable. And your MIL has some nice antiques.

If I guessed wrong on all the relationships I'm totally

Too many flowers?

I can't wait for the flowers to come back. I miss flowers.

Cute pic. I love childhood intensity and presents.

My dogs don't fart indoors.

Oh mine does. He can clear a room. The funniest ones are the ones that are audible. He sort of looks back there as if the event was completely disconnected from him.

I shall be very british and have a cup of tea before returning then.

I need something strong to drink this morning. I can't get going.

Morning all, has the scent dissipated yet?

Did you crop dust and leave?

OK, this little cute puppy can generate some Frat House level farts. Wow. Impressive.

So can Ian. I'm always amazed by the sounds that can come out of that little dude.

Diane - nice handling of the noise. I visited your site this morning. My CJ was a cloth diaper baby, nothing as cool as you have though, just the old gauze diapers, pins, and plastic pants. I do believe cloth diapers lead to earlier potty training. We bought Aiden the pull-ups that are suppose to get cool when the wet, well if they do, didn't seem to phase Aiden one bit.

I trained my Aidan in the summer. We went straight to undies. We also spent the whole first day outside. He learned fairly quickly. We went through a lot of undies. One of the things that really helped with him was the way he used the potty. I would undress his bottom half and set him on the toilet backwards-so he was facing the tank. That way if he missed, he didn't hose the whole bathroom down. Plus, he could see himself pee and got a HUGE kick out of making bubbles. Eventually he learned to pee standing up (mostly by peeing on tires) but he still rides the potty backwards when he does his sit down business. It's kind of nice because we don't have to use a child's potty seat that way.

G'mae folks. Back to work. Blech.

Hi all people in thread today.

Good Morning Everyone

Great fun was had by all.

We are all home safe and sound. We did not get to our house until near 3:00AM after a plane delay, then waiting in a monstrous queue for a cab. I will fill in more details later. I have a TON of work to do, so will not be on again until later. I will most likely just scan the last 3,500 posts I missed, so if there is any important, or juicy news, let me know.

Gaaaaa! I forgot that trick. Really helps them not to be askeered of the big pots.

Welcome home Jim. Was thinking you were due back. Will patiently wait for to hear the stories. Still waiting on pics from two years ago, so will be even more patient on that.:p

Off to work.

Morning folks .

Jaiydann and Ryver's first portraits

misspix wrote in post #7005617
We could not get Jaiydann to cooperate for a bit. We sent her to play with Papa and moved on to Nikki and RD's portion of the shoot. As soon as little miss saw that we were going on without her she wanted back in, lol. No posing here, completely lucky snap at just the right moment.

GA! And this one makes me teary, don't ask me why. It just seems to define them as a couple *sniff*

Great shots Terri.

OK, that was odd. I hadn't read this post and Lisa comes into the office, pats me on the head, then give Kona a kiss. I'm like, "OK, I see how things are now..."

sevillafox wrote in post #7005912
Ok...full boobies are telling me it's time to go crawl in bed with the little milk boy.

Was "I'm tired, going to bed" to tame for you?

Cara used to wake herself up when she farted. She's jump up like someone just smacked her, and sit up and look at her butt to find the culprit.

When I finally get to the end of the thread, click the reply button and start to do my multi-quote, I find myself thinking "Why did I quote that?"

I do that all the time too....usually end up deleting those quotes.

I use to have a Boxer that would fart, then get up and move to another part of the room

Left you sniffing it up. ROFL!

I can see it now....he's gonna be on his honeymoon and his wife is gonna walk in on him and say "Why are you on the toilet backwards Aidan?"

G'morning. It looks like UPS is going to relent and actually deliver my camera. This will be nice.

Welcome home Jim.

oh my gosh, friends of ours did that with their sons and they never learned to sit correctly until school...they wouldn't switch on their own before that and then the kids made fun of them...it was very traumatic to those boys.

Yep...way too tame. I can sometimes be the queen of TMI. Sorry.

And, let me tell you....the view when he's climbing up on the potty isn't the best. He had to do his business while I was in the tub with Ian last night and the full moon was definitely out.

Permie...I'll make sure he does it the normal way before he goes to school. He usually just does that at home.

Oh, and, my senior told me what her order was last night. No check or complete confirmation yet but it's a start.

I figured you would. This mother was just happy they didn't make messes (it was all about her) kwim?

Congrats on your order (almost order). I never did receive on on that senior shoot I did.

Hi Lisa and Roberto Tiff too

G'MAE all. *opens window*

I agree, the pullups don't help worth a darn. My daughter trained pretty good during the day, but took her a while for nights. This guy....idk...I think he's going to be a bear to train, but we'll try this spring/summer when we can walk around in just undies, etc.

Its fun to hear about cloth babies. I'm glad you shared!

Bah, that makes me sad when its all about the parent.

Bummer! I wonder why some people have the shots taken if they're not planning to order?
