Baby Bee { Austin Newborn Photographer }

February 22, 2011 Posted in Client Work, Newborns

Today I saw a bumblebee.
He was on a pretty rose.
I leaned in to look at him,
and he stung me on my nose!

I wasn’t gonna squish him,
only watch and see …
but I’ll never get THAT close again
to a baby bumble-bee.:)

A one-year-old child is so many things ~
A tiny discoverer of butterfly wings
a lover of teddy bears
a sweet sleepyhead
and someone to dream for in precious years ahead.
