embrace the camera: january 5th


it's the first embrace of the year!
who better to embrace with than...olive.
i know, i know, it's been olive central around here lately.  i told myself i would pick another kid to embrace with this week, but then i realized that today is miss olive's 1 month birthday.  i couldn't not share photos, right?
right.

so, here she is, in all her 1 month gloriousness:
favorite things at 1 month include:
lots of eating, sleeping, pooping and crying.
her particular favorite is to blow through every outfit i put on her.  thank you rocket poops.
and in case you couldn't tell by the chub that is gracing her body, sister loves to eat too.
here's some fabulous outtakes from our 3 minute photo session:



alright, and now to my embrace photos:

she is a snuggler.

okay, so now it's your turn!
have you embraced the camera yet?
it's easy---just turn the camera around on yourself and get in the picture...regardless of how we look or feel...our family wants us to be a part of the pictures, promise!

1.  take a photo of yourself with your child/spouse/family member/friend.
2.  post it on your blog
3.  link up with us on the linky tool below

easy!  and don't forget to visit each other :)

happy embracing!
