Winter Maternity Session Dec Winter Maternity Session Things have been going non-stop since September and I realized I have NOT kept up this blog at all. I do not like Facebook's resolution so I hope I can stay on top of this so that clients and friends can see my photos in better quality! Yesterday I had a fun and easy going Maternity session with soon to be first time parents M and S. They braved the cold and all the snow and then came indoors for some belly shots. Posted 29th December 2010 by Melissa Champagne Labels: maternity Add a comment Champagne Photography Magazine Loading Hungry Baby (Homemade Baby Food) My favorite baby is ready to eat! And as her proud “Auntie Gabi,” you know I was happy and honored to help prepare her first meals. So baby food it is. I know babies have to be introduced to flavors slowly. For example, one of my favorite first meals was banana mashed up with orange juice. Anyway, before embarking on this project, I took a couple little spoons full of store bought baby food (peas) just to see what I was up against. The major drawback to those store bought foods is that they bare very little resemblance to what good food actually tastes like. At least when you make it at home, you know exactly what’s in it and can get your little one in the healthy habit of eating realistic flavors. After doing some research on which fruits and veggies are best to start babies on, I came up with these yummy pairings, which mama Cole agreed upon.

Games for Babies - Infant Activities A few generations ago, we didn't think much about babies' brains. We knew about reflexes, such as the rooting reflex that causes a newborn to turn his head when you gently stroke his cheek. But for the most part, parents, physicians, and researchers thought of the newborn's brain as little more than a blank slate waiting to be written upon by his environment. But the more we study infants, the more we realize that their brains and senses are remarkably active, even at a very young age. We can even get some indication of their personalities during the later stages of pregnancy. Some of the clues to babies' brain development are obvious; others are quite subtle. Here are a few things you can do that will help you see the incredible ways in which your infant is able to use his brain to handle the challenges of early life. Age: Newborn Long before your baby can talk, his expressions and physical reactions tell you a lot about his personality and developing sense of recognition.
