Baby image of the day: making my brother laugh

I know it's a bit unfair to select my own boys for Baby Image of the Day, but today is my last as sole judge and jury for this feature - I'll be handing off to Larissa Brown. This picture, for me, is the soul of the love between my two sons. ...

Baby image of the day: holding daddy's hand

I don't know if it's the same for all of you mamas, but for me, the relationship between my husband and the boys is the one I agonize over, hoping that it will turn out right in the end - that they will strike the right balance between discipline ...

Baby image of the day: family in sunlight

There's no mystery why this photo amazed me. Nothing's more evocative of the magic of becoming a family, and I love how the sun plays across the faces of mom and baby, symmetrically, and how they make shadows for one another. Photo of baby Teo and ...

Baby image of the day: cheek to cheek

Some images come with their own internal soundtrack. Like this one. It's entitled, "so happy together," but all I can think of is "....when you're dancing, cheek to cheek..." It rocks, it rolls, it moves and it grooves. This photo ...

Baby image of the day: sleepy love

My heart goes out to this photo because it's everything I most love about having babies... that moment, when you fall asleep with the baby next to you, and it's all peace and quiet quiet slurping. I'm all about co-sleeping and this image gives it ...

Baby image of the day: love that you can't put down

I've been in this very image; when baby falls asleep in your arms. A minute ago you were thinking about all those things you absolutely must get done. Now? You can't stand to put him down. Every breath just reminds you how much you're in love. Hey, ...

Baby image of the day: big brother

I was watching the slide show of Blogging Baby group photos, picking out images I liked and exclaiming to myself from time to time over the sweet faces. This one, though, made me feel the moment. Warmth welled up in me as if the sun was shining out ...

Baby image of the day: daddy's first love

Remember when he was all moony over you? When you first met and fell in love, and your partner gazed deep into your eyes. You couldn't help but gaze back and it made your heart jump inside you. Now your heart is jumping again, even though he's ...

Baby image of the day: first kiss, sibling version

While there may be nothing so arresting as the first time you kiss your first child, there is nothing that brings tears to a parent's eyes more than that first kiss between big brother and his new baby sibling. It's the moment you hoped for, worried ...

Baby image of the day: twins in love

It's a whisper before he learns to talk, it's a kiss before he learns to pucker. From the first moment, twins must share so many things we'll never know. But one thing's certain: it's a truly unique, truly wholehearted, kind of love. Photo of ...

Baby image of the day: Emma's first kiss

Remember your first kiss? No, not that kiss. This one. The first time you held that new, wrinkled, impossibly vulnerable baby in your hands and looked at her. You promised to love her always, and you sealed it with a kiss. No gesture before or ...

Baby image of the day: crazy kisser

Zerbert... raspberry... crazy kiss. Whatever you call it, it's silly, it's joyful, and it's often Daddy's favorite. My three-year-old gives them to his baby brother to the tune of hilarious laughter from both. This image so perfectly captures the ...

Baby image of the day: passionate kiss

I think of my nine-month-old son, Truman, as a slobbery and obsessed lover. He looks at me with those moony eyes, he licks up and down my arm like he can't get enough of my skin, he attacks my face with open-mouthed kisses. This image is so ...

Baby image of the day: poster perfect

Have you ever looked at your children and thought, wow, they'd be perfect as a motivational poster? I certainly have (and always wondered why those motivational poster people picked such darned boring photos with which to motivate me). This photo, ...

Baby image of the day: legs in pink

Many of the images I select are full of color, awash with personality, sparkling with bright eyes. But this one is monochromatic and entirely devoid of eyes, yet sparkles with something else entirely. It's a study in pinks, in the interlacing ...
