when separation anxiety meets a snow day

by on February 11, 2010

Just what you were looking for, right? More mid-atlantic snow photos! Today was the first day that I felt like it was safe to take W out for another round of “baby in the snow” photos. Which was a bit too adjacent to “Timmy in the well” because a certain baby that we know and love is going through a firm, “do not even THINK about putting me down!!!” phase. (made all the more fun by a side dish of, “but please allow me to pinch and squeeze your arm/neck/chest/face…”) He wasn’t really thrilled by my great plan of a photo session in a laundry basket in the blinding white snow, but he’ll thank me later. Or not. Regardless…

(and check back later tonight because there is going to be a kick ass contest starting later this evening that does not involve photoshop but FOOD. Real, yummy, much coveted fooooooooood.)

I know it was deeper further out, but I did not venture very farsnow ruling

See? Total drama about being put down.pick me up!

Did his little tears freeze to his face? Elizabeth had those moments (months) of not wanting to be put down. They went away when she learned to walk.

Charlie is a good assistant. Now, move back to Florida and teach me how to take awesome pictures too.

Am so sick of snow – however your pictures make me feel better.

Just wait for the worst of separation anxiety – about 18 months. This is when you pee with them on your lap! Heaven forbid you have a moment of privacy. Plus picture a 3 year old asking in a loud voice if you just did a PEE or a POOP. Yup, that’s every morning.

Once they walk it’s better. Except then they run away from you when you want them to COME HERE NOW!

There’s always something…

I guess putting him in a snowbank is a good way to get him to chill, but I am not sure you’re supposed to literally chill him. :)

Great photos!

Snow is finally melting here–but the wind is brutal!

Oman is going through a big “Ill scream if you even think of putting me down!” phase

Love seeing W in his snow gear :)

E would like to agree with W about the putting down business. Nastiness!

And the story about your neighbor was awesome.

Love the snow pics of W. He is such a cutie. Even when he’s upset.

Oh, those photos are terrific! Although I’m with W, I’d cry too if someone plopped me down in 2 ft of snow! :-) I love love love the shot of him looking up and off to the side – he is such a gorgeous boy, and you do a great job capturing his expressions.
