I got everything ready, then sat him down and put a piece of scotch tape on his hand. I had read that this would help him (and other baby/ toddlers) to sit still, and getting the tape off of his hand will occupy him for a few moments, enough to get a few shots. This really helped for Lucas to sit still for a minute.
It worked! I cloned out the bit of tape that peeked up, but he stayed still long enough, LOL! I also like how his hands are pressed together like that too.... Loud silly noises, with my husband and other son dancing away behind me too got him to look up....
Miracle of Miracles! I scrapped! These are my first pages of 2008. I want Lucas' album done for his Birthday party!
Just my Lucas when he was (sob!) Little! Credits HERE.
Lucas' first Halloween! What a sweet Dragon he was! Credits HERE.I had a super sweet photo session yesterday, and its calling me to proof it. I have a lot of wedding work to still proof and get ready though. Ahhh.....
TGIF!

Love the tip! But I think I am going to have to use something a little stronger for my 3 year old. Gotta think on this.
Wonderful portrait and lo's!
Beautiful layouts!!!!! I love them and your blog is wonderful.
Love the tip, thanks! I need to do my boys' spring pics and was wondering how to get my 14 month old to sit still. You got a great shot!
Great idea, Andrea! Happy birthday to the cute little dude!
aww what great photos!!!
What cute photos! I will have to try that technique on my youngest. He will probably just keep looking at his hands.
great photos and layouts
Great tip Andrea! I'll have to try that out on my little ones! Thanks for sharing :)
I am, however, wondering how you prevented Lucas from looking at his hands while he was trying to pry the tape off. Any tips?
Loud silly noises, with my husband and other son seth dancing away behind me too....
What a cutie! Happy birthday,Lucas

Hey Andrea! I just adore all of your work and your blog - so glad to have found it. You are now added to my favorites! Hey, I was trying to snag your fan blinkie because it say's i cannot right click (the copywrite thing). Is there another way to grab it by chance? Thanks and have a great weekend!

I absolutely love your blog and your pics. I hope it is all right, but I nominated you for an award on my blog. :)
Adorable little guy and great photo tip. What did you use for your background here...and the valentine one (pink)? Are you using paper? Very nice.
Love the layouts. Lucas was a super cute dragon. And I'm loving his birthday photo. Great job.
Love the tape idea. I might use that one my nephew.
I use that same tape trick! It is great. Love your site.
