Gwen Demolishing a Cake

Actually not really demolishing it, per se. She was far too prissy and fastidious. Doesn't she look rather serious in the above photo? She wasn't too interested in getting messy. But enjoy the pics anyway. These are courtesy of Amy, a gal in Med School that has a great photography business on the side. She was very professional, very fun, and skilled at capturing those quickly passing moments with little ones. I highly recommend her and have some discount referral cards if anyone in Columbus thinks they might be interested in family, maternity, or kid pics from her!

Gwen wasn't too thrilled to get started. I made that cake just for her photo shoot. She was more interested in playing with drops of icing on the floor and staring out the window than digging in to her cake.She was bored at first, then uncertain and fastidious about the cake. I love the variety of expressions she makes: everything from startled to smug to polite etiquette. I like the top right photo because it looks like she is saying 'scuse me' and covering a burp. and the pic where she is flapping her arms cracks me up.
As soon as she realized that it tasted good, she shoved in a fistful. That's my girl. Can't stand to take a small, manageable bite!
After she realized she could have fun making a mess, she really was all smiles. I appreciate the top left photo in the following collage because it captures how Gwen walks on her knees (since she isn't really walking yet-- this is her preference to crawling), which we haven't been able to successfully catch on film besides this one. I also love that she shoved her foot into the cake.
The beads were extra fun on a suger high. Doesn't she look pleased with herself?Cleaned up
and ready to go home...still very hyper, I think. :)

Thanks Amy for a great photo shoot and adorable pictures! We love them!
