Boy what a difference 6 months makes. Both of these pictures were taken while in the camper of Clay and Lanie sitting on the couch. See if you spot the differences. Here are the ones I have discovered so far. Lanie is only 10 days old in one. She is pretty floppy in one and and much stronger and not-so floppy in the other. In one, she has enough hair to wear a bow. Clay is wearing a shirt in one. The couch is wearing a quilt in one. One is at Tannehill and the other is at Logan's Landing. She cried much less and slept WAY more on one of those outings. Guess which one? Let's just say we probably won't be taking the camper back out for a good while! But probably the most noticeable difference is in the quality of the pictures. One was taken with a little point-and-shoot Nikon that we have had and used FOREVER. You know, the first and only digital camera we ever bought that worked just fine...until! The other was taken with our much nicer, newer Canon D-SLR, which we were FORCED to purchase a few weeks after Lanie arrived. The Nikon just didn't cut it anymore when it came to taking pictures of Lanie...oops, I meant to say our family. We needed something that would snap 3 shots/sec and zoom quickly 'cause everyone knows little babies are extremely active and an SLR is a must, right? We were just so amazed that we actually had a little girl (and sometimes now we just stare at her and comment that we STILL can't believe we have a girl) and had so much fun taking her picture...even when she did nothing but lay there like a baby, that we sprang for the better camera. And that's one purchase we haven't regretted! I guess it is true that little girls have a different effect on mommies and daddies. Don't get me wrong now...Turner and Clay were both beautiful babies, are becoming handsome, wonderful boys and will always be special blessings in their own ways...but there is just something about being a daddy and having that cute little girl. Heck, I probably take more pictures of her than Meghan does! I guess Turner and Clay will look back one day and wonder why we didn't spring for the better camera when they were born. But I think they already understand 'cause from the ga-ga smiles they give when they see her bouncing in the doorway jumper to the quick "stop-and-kiss-Lanie-on-the-forehead" moves while talking to her in their best baby voices while running through the den, we know they think little "Wanie Bug" is a pretty awesome addition to family. But they will quickly tell you they do get tired of us making them pose for so many pictures now that we have the new camera! Did I mention I just got a new Flip Video Camera? I wonder who will get the most face time on that...
I will try and get a video up from it soon!
