The amazing Shell of Things I Can’t Say is hosting a link up called Rockin’ the Baby. Rockin’ the Baby is a wonderful opportunity to share your favorite baby pictures and maybe win a prize.
It offically starts tomorrow, but I am sharing my post a day early. There were over 200 bloggers that linked to her Rockin’ the Bump link up last month. I had the best time visiting many of them. It should be fun to see how cute everyone’s babies were or are in this link up!
My Favorite Baby Picture of JDaniel
I was so hard to pick just one picture of JDaniel as a baby. I knew I had to pick one or you would have ended up seeing hundreds of pictures. I do have hundreds.
Why is this my favorite?
There are several reasons that this picture of a three month old JDaniel stands out from the rest of the collection. This photo reveals so much about him.
Starting from when he was a newborn JDaniel stuck one of his hands in one of my sleeves. It usually happened when he was tired. Sometimes it happened when he was around new people and just wanted to be close. In his picture he has he hand in his own sleeve. It may just be a coincidence, but when look at it I remember this special quirk.
In this picture he is laying on his back. He loved being on his back when he was awake as a baby. He hated being on his back when it was time to go to sleep. When we finally let him sleep on his tummy, his nights go longer and he was less fussy.
I love the stretch suit he is wearing. He had tons of clothes given to him and handed down to him. This was a favorite. It was super soft and brought out the blue in his eyes.
The thing I really love most about this picture is that he is looking at the baby he sees in the mirror. He probably had no idea that he was the baby in the mirror. He does seem very focused on him. From the very beginning JDaniel was very aware of everything and everyone around him. He was obviously thinking about this baby. He looks so serious.
