Baby Faces

Ali | February 25, 2008

I’ve learned quickly that babys make lots of very interesting faces.  Some of them are when they are awake, and some of them are when they are asleep.  We tried to get a picture of him smiling, but we couldn’t snap it fast enough.  I know one day we will be able to get a [...]

Alonzo and Cousin Megan

Ali | February 18, 2008
