The Jamie-puppy, a photo essay

celticdragonflySo I'd been telling people that I wanted to get camera shots of Jamie carrying the ladybug ball around in his mouth like a puppy - I finally got them.
Some of the pictures get really tricky, because his reaction to the camera is to crawl at me at top speed. Makes it difficult to get a good shot.
Then sometimes he just decides he's going to sit there with the ball, and try to figure out what Mama is doing.
The camera isn't very fast - and sometimes, as he's crawling across the room towards me, he drops the ball.
But I persisted, and I finally got the shot.
Sick as I am, the process totally wiped me out!

selenite says "Don't you love those puppy-dog eyes?" and then tells me "that's what you get for marrying a dog person".

Did you know that your computer thinks it's 3:44 am?

Date: 2004-10-07 10:29 pm (UTC)It's always seemed to me that babies really do go through a "people puppy" stage. I used to call my sisters' kids that. The same cuteness and the same curiosity -- including using the mouth as a means of exploring the world -- plus the crawling and the "see what I can do, Mom!" eagerness to please. (If he starts crawling under your bed to chew the shoes, though, watch out! We had a puppy -- a real puppy, part beagle and part Lab -- that did that.)
Anyway, I think the second one especially would be a good userpic.
