There are some things about Betty--some of the best things--that we just can't capture on the Daily Betty. Some, like "Drunk Baby" (a face she used to make after eating) are things she's already grown out of (and anyway, I was usually only half clothed then and this isn't that kind of website); others, like her feet, just don't photograph well. The cuteness just doesn't translate to 2-D. And we'll probably never get a picture of Morning Betty. The best part of my day is going to get her when she wakes up after a night's sleep. She's all warm and snug, and she sticks her feet up in the air (while still wrapped up in the sleep sack), and she grins so hard she scrunches up her whole face. But I'll never be able to post a picture of this because it's just too dark in the room (she's an early riser). You can't photograph the scent of warm baby anyway. And, actually, I don't want to waste one second of that time taking pictures.
But here is a hint of what Morning Betty is like--here she is, happy to be waking up from her nap.
You know, some day Betty is going to look at all this and hate it. And then she will grow past the age of 14 and know how much love she had growing up. She's a lucky little girl.
