Favorite Foto Friday #66 - FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

OK... going retro again this week... this is one of my favorite crying pictures... Sophie~Bug was just 5 months old and only home for a few weeks. She HATED her bath and cried through all of them. I am guessing because it was so different than she was used to. Maybe it was warmer than she was used to... maybe she did not feel as supported laying in the baby bathtub, maybe she hated getting clean. Who knows... but she did not like her baths one bit. It was always so stressful for her and for me. I decided after a while that I should at least document how she really felt about her baths and took this picture. Poor, pitiful thing!

Look how tiny my Bug was... she was just about 12 pounds at 5 months old... such a petite little thing, but did not look it with the size of her cheeks! Sigh... time goes by so quickly.

OK... one more favorite... this was January 2006 and this is what she thought of the snow...

I can guarantee you that she loves both of these things now!!

Here is Mr. Linky... LINK AWAY!! if you need directions, you can find them here. Please leave a comment that you were here! And please don't forget to title your post FFF.

**Many people are linking just their general blog address... this makes it very hard to come back after time to find your actual FFF post. Please be sure to link your actual post.



Next week is Thanksgiving... so our theme next week is THANKFULNESS. I know that we can all find many things to be thankful for in our lives this time of year and I bet there are some adorable pictures to go along with them.

Hi Sarah!

Sorry I've been out of the loop on the FFF's for the past few weeks. Life is getting so busy that blogging has become increasingly more difficult! I'm hoping to be a little more consistent again!

My favorite "For Crying Out Loud" picture of Sophie is the one in the snow! Even sad, she's GORGEOUS!!

Love,
Jennifer

Amazing the changes in your sweet little girl. Where does the time go, I look back at Olivia's pictures and sometimes struggle with remembering the phase she was in. Sophie was such a pretty baby, and has become a beautiful little girl. I don't know what you are going to do when she is a teenager, well I guess you are living it with Morgan now. Hope Grant is well anad making a smooth transition.

Becca said...

I love when you go retr - that was before I knew you and Sophie. She was as cute then as she is now. Hope things are comingtogether for you - praying you have a productive day!

Peace and Hugs,
Becca

Robyn said...

Awww, I love the retro pics!! I can't believe how much our girls have changed since then. Seeing old pics makes me miss those baby days.

Becca said...

I left two links - one to FFF and one to ella singing - it is my first successful video upload!

I tried to get them right next to one another but Robyn snuck in between us - you get up so early Robyn - LOL!

Much love,
Becca

Rebekah said...

Christina said...

Love the old photos. She's as cute then as she is now.

Have a good weekend friend.

Carrie, Rich and the Kids said...

Oh how cute and sweet. Savannah used to scream at her bath too and she was about the same weight as Sophie at 5 months (I started fostering her then)--maybe 13 pounds. I remember the first time I took her to the Dr. in Guatemala she was 14 lbs. 8 oz. at 6 months. Our tiny little baby girls!

I wish we lived closer. I know our girls would love to play with their sweet dispositions.

I think I am going to have to go way back when because I don't take crying pictures.

Marsha said...

So cute, I love the snow picture!!! She is not that little if you compare her to my little Harper (17 lbs when she came home at 3 1/2 years old)!!! Hope you have a blessed weekend.

Iris said...

Love your cute Cry Baby pics, Sarah. I took some photos of Lulu when she was teething yesterday. Man, did that make her even madder! (Sorry, kid.)

She is a little Peanut too. I thought she would never make it past 20 lbs. but she finally did at around 2 yrs old.

Hope everyone is feeling better, settling in and staying warm there.

Lyn (Irismama)

Hugs.

I love the new blog design! We've had the flu so I am playing catch up too. I'm glad Morgan is feeling better and that Grant is liking his new school! I just love the bath picture- but I have to agree with her on crying in the snow- I'd be right there with her! LOL Hope you have a great weekend!

I tend to hide the camera when the kiddos are crying - but its nice to know that they grow out of those certain stages.

Sophie is so cute - even when she's sad.

I can never leave comments from my home computer so I had to wait until I got to work today. I had to say that first photo of Sophie breaks my heart. I dont know how you ever got past that. LOL! What a little doll.
