I like to read directions. I cannot do complex tasks late at night. Come Tuesday I’m reading directions to this new camera when? Late at night. Oh yes… All the knowledge I’ve garnered about the way I operate disappeared in my zeal for camera usage — thus my first photos. I now have nicer shots with crisp, clean edges, photos with flash used only when necessary, etc, which will be shared shortly. But for now, my fellow bloggers, you can share in my learning process as I share my darling child.

I love the first picture because it shows how Livia sleeps — flat on her back, arms and legs spread out, not a care in the world. She sleeps the way adults would kill to — ah, to sleep like a baby! Picture #2 was a great revelation to Mama Tredway: Livia loves mobiles! She coos at them and, quite opposite to her relaxation in sleep, kicks and punches furiously at the spinning toys. Super cute. Finally, the last pic is Livia and Halle Cutler, roughly three weeks apart in age. Halle’s mom and I are thrilled to have baby girls so close in age. I’m already anticipating sleepovers in coming years.
