Rockin’ The Baby

Who could resist this new linky by Shell at Things I Can’t Say?

Rockin’ the Baby follows the hugely successful Rockin’ The Bump with over 200 Mamas showing off their baby bumps! And all you have to do is link up a favorite baby picture.

I have so many pictures of my Monkey to choose from, so I’ll spare you and share with you my absolute favorites from the early days.

    Aw, so adorable!

  3. C @ Kid Things says:

    Love that last one. My daughter really liked showing off her middle finger as a baby, too. It was hilarious. I miss that.

      It is pretty funny. Now that she’s older, I guess it would be inappropriate to ask her to show the finger again while you take a picture. A pity, it would have been funny :)

    So sweet and fuzzy! And you rock that short hair, mama!

    Oh my God how adorable !!!! I love all of these photos but my favorite is “The Eye.” What an incredible, incredible shot. Great photography (but what a cute subject you had to work w.) Love the shirt too – I’m New Here. So cute!

    • Alison@Mama Wants This says:

      Thank you Ado! The ‘Eye’ is one of my absolute favorites of him. I wish I could take credit for the photography but I can’t. My brother-in-law snapped all these (except for the one with me in it) with his fancy-schmancy SLR camera.

      I have kept that onesie :)

    So adorable. I LOVE the middle finger shot. I bet he meant it too :) and that shot of the 2 of you is fantastic. It’s hard to get a good mom and newborn shot because it is hard to feel pretty after giving birth, but you look gorgeous. Anyway, awesome pictures!

    • Alison@Mama Wants This says:

      Thank you!! I was run ragged by day 5 but cleaned up when we were getting discharged from the hospital – which is why I consented to pictures :)

      I believe he meant the finger shot too – we were trying to get a picture fit for his passport, can you believe it. I think he got pissed off with us lol

  27. Stasha says:

    Monkey is so cute. He still has the same lovely eyes. Incredible how easy it is to see the resemblance with early baby photos,even when they look completely different in years time.

    • Alison@Mama Wants This says:

      Thank you Stasha – Monkey sends his love and sloppy kisses. Yes, I can sometimes still see the baby in him, especially when he’s sleeping. With his bum in the air.

    He is adorable but I canNOT believe he is giving the photographer the finger!!!
