Books and Baby Toes by alophoto

Books and Baby Toes

Today I realized that my time with baby toes is fleeting. I think that I took it for granted. I had 3 sets of baby toes afterall. And now my final baby's toes are nearly 5, not such a baby anymore.

I did not take enough photos of these precious subjects. I did not nibble or kiss them enough. Missing my chance, I decided to snap a few photos today before they got even bigger and stinkier and less nibbleable.

Ah sweet toes...loved how Clara was playing the toesies while she read today.
@pixiemac Thanks so much for your sweet comments, Sarah!! At my daughter's request, I uploaded another version of the toes shot:). Gosh I love those little piggies:).

Oh Amanda, I had 3 sets of these too but was so long ago that we only had a polaroid camera which took terrible photos, so missed all the wonderful photos that mum's get these days. I'm so jealous! Lovely to look back at in years to come!

My goodness, what elegant, long and narrow feet she has. Must be the very devil to buy shoes for.

Oh my! What a moment you captured! What sweet, peaceful repose. Let me tell you, after all those toes grow up, they have their own and it's almost more sweet to nibble the piggies of your grandchildren. But you're right, must take advantage of the here and now!

She looks like a little Amanda clone - although I haven't seen YOUR piggies. Adorable moment captured.

@bpaquette http://365project.org/amandal/365/2012-09-14 Sure you have;-). A selfie I wished I had gotten a better angle on to avoid seeing the dirty feet:). Thanks, lady. She is so my mini me:)!

FAV for me. Not only is your photo gorgeous but I loved reading your intro. I think we are always running around trying to get everything down and it can feel like we just blinked and our children are all grown up. We all need to enjoy the moment!

What is it about baby feet that makes you want to say, "Ahhh!"?
December 13th, 2013  
Aww! A reminder to pause... just lovely!
December 13th, 2013

This is incredibly sweet. Baby toes are off the map for me with just one son, and he is 45. Gads.
December 13th, 2013  
such a precious shot! yeah... get those nibbles in now... toes not so pretty at age 10 ;p
December 13th, 2013  
cute toes aside, I like how intently and contentedly your daughter reads.

December 13th, 2013  
beautiful moments captured .. like the candidness of the shot ... she does seem very engrossed .. lovely heartfelt words!!
December 13th, 2013  
It passes so quickly. Savour every moment.
December 13th, 2013  
Awww, this is so beautiful and so sad - time passes too quickly. Isn't it great though, with all this modern technology, we have so many fabulous memories recorded to refer back to, time and time again. I wish I was as 'into' photography when my kids were teeny as I am now. I loved it then, but didn't have the camera or the skill. Oh well, I can make up for it when the grandkiddies come along one day in the future. :D
