Fun with Pictures

Yesterday Zuri was having fun with dress-up and I just had to grab the camera.  She was wearing a Halloween dress and found her reindeer hat from Christmas.  In the photo she looks so much older!  I have noticed how much she is changing--she no longer looks like a baby; she is looking like a little girl now.  Wow, how time flies.  She is still a little petite thing, but she looks so grown-up in the pictures!


This morning she wanted to hold Kai, so I thought it would be a good time to get some pictures of them together.  I would get a good shot of Zuri and Kai would be looking away.  I would get a good shot of Kai and Zuri would be making a weird face or have her eyes closed.  I did manage to get a couple really cute pictures though.

I had a hard time choosing which picture I liked better.  Zuri looks so grown-up (and it looks like she is wearing make-up--she isn't) in the second picture, although I like the position and look of Kai better in the second one, even if he was looking away.  Do you realize how hard it is to get a deaf infant to look at you on cue?  It really is amazing how much we rely on sound not only for ourselves, but for others.  Other than cropping and a slight red eye correction, I didn't do any photoshopping to the images.

Remember that diaper rash I mentioned in my last post?  Well, it turns out that it was really a yeast infection.  Ouch!  Kai's poor bum is so sore and bleeding--I hope the medicine works quickly.  He was awake all morning long and just couldn't seem to get comfortable.  He had several dirty diapers this morning which made it worse because I had to keep wiping his bum and it would just bleed.  Poor baby!  Luckily, now we have some medicine and he is sleeping peacefully.  Hopefully he is feeling better now!
