Toe Grabber.

I always wanted a baby that grabbed their toes in pictures.  My very first client in Scottsdale, AZ was a toe grabber.  I thought that all babies did this for pictures.  If you put a baby on their back, then 

Wal-Law! Toes in Hand!  I was very mistaken.  I didn't have kids at this point.  I realized quickly that there are few kids that do this.  So I was always thankful for the "look at how cute my toes and little hands are" pose, when I got it.  To my dismay, not one of my 3 babies would grab anything!  

Imagine my surprise when my sweet baby Si grabbed is little toes....(my most favorite physical Down Syndrome characteristic, by the way... the toes, I mean)  So I am most happy to present Si's 8 month old photographs!  I did 8 months, instead of 9 because I was afraid I'd miss my toe to hand window of opportunity.  Enjoy my most exciting photographs yet of my Sweet Si.

And his official, "I'm totally sitting up now" shots.
