Bed-Time

Given the heat in recent days, we’ve been trying to give Hannah a second bath each evening before the last feed of the day. This will usually be at about 8 pm. Ling bathes Hannah, and I do all the menial labor (e.g. bring bucket of water, pour bucket of water into baby bath tub, carry and pour used water, wash the tub and mat, mop floor). But what we get in return is a happy Hannah and she smells superbly nice and fragrant. We were intending to use the spare time this evening to clean up the house and move Hannah’s furniture out of the guestroom for Matt’s stay, but with that postponed, we got to clean her up, do a slow feed and set her to bed a little earlier than normal.

When Hannah’s dressed in colorful bed-time wear, and especially if I haven’t taken pictures of her in that wear before, it’s opportunity to dig out the D300 and just go nuts! Here’s an outfit I thought would make for colorful pictures: the green long-sleeved shirt was from one of Ling’s long-time friends, and the purple pants a hand-me down from her ex-colleague.

Taken using the Sigma 18-250mm. The lens sure is useful – generous focal length so I don’t have to move my legs too much. Down side though is that it sometimes has problems deciding on focus! :)
