I have been trying to capture Toby’s amazing curls for so long now, and this is the closest I’ve come to making them look as luscious as they do in real life.
Neither my husband or I had curls like this when we were babies… our hair didn’t start to kink until we were adolescents. This hair is exactly like his Opa’s, and I LOVE it!
My aim today was actually to capture the crazy weather… it threatened to storm for hours this afternoon, and it finally broke at 8pm. Toby goes a little bit mental (in a good way) when it’s stormy, but unfortunately the barometric pressure changes also affect his middle ear, so we are probably in for a rough night tonight. I thought this was a fitting storyboard, after all, his hair is a bit wild, just like the weather.

Another late night home for me, and shower time my only inspiration.
We bath Toby 2-3 nights a week, and the rest of the time he showers with one of us. We’ve been doing that since he was about five months old so he loves it just as much as the bath. Unfortunately, he was far too distracted by my presence tonight and kept wanting to get out of the shower to help me with my camera, lol. I had to use my speedlite (hence the distraction) because it was a very dark and stormy evening and our bathroom is on the eastern side of the house. And yes, my lens got wet. You can even see the drops in the second pic.

I went back to work today and didn’t get home until 6pm, so the only real choice for today’s photo was bath time. Great! Toby loves bath time! Tonight he went particularly mental and managed to get water all over the bathroom floor as well as us, (but luckily not on my camera).
This kid just loves water, especially when it’s being poured over his head and face. He’s a complete nutcase and totally cracked me up tonight, both while I was taking these and when I downloaded them and saw some of his expressions. I wish I could include them all.
And yes, he does stand up in the bath a lot, and frequently slips over as well. And it doesn’t bother him one little bit! I’m sure he would stay in the bath all day if we let him.

I have my dearest friends staying with us this weekend, and today we enjoyed a relaxing and glorious summer’s day together.
So this is Little Miss Cool, my sweet, seven month old ‘niece’. I took so many photos of her today that I knew I’d have to use one for my day seventeen.
