you've gotta put yourself in the picture


Every now and again I hold the camera out with one hand and snap a few shots. You know, so one day she’ll remember that I was there.

doggy hat


I was the last of the six of us cousins on my father’s side to have a child. The upshot of this placement is that I got a lot of hand-me-down things. Most of it is pretty nice. Every once in a while though, we’d pull a really odd or an especially sparkly bit of clothing out of a bag and just laugh. We’d never put that on our daughter I’d giggle to myself. The doggy hat was one such item...until we put it on her head. Damn, that’s cute.

most of the day


Most of the time, of course, she looks just like this.

is it the hat?


My aunt Grete makes the most beautiful handmade things. This is one of three lovely blankets she sent. Actually, as you can see, it came with matching hat. I think Naiya Sophia is not so sure about the hat.
