Jack the photographer, Ella's fingernail

Jack has recently found himself quite taken with my camera and is capturing all sorts of Kodak moments around our house.  I was just sorting through my pictures and deleting literally dozens of shots, and I decided to save a few since they were making me laugh.  My favorite part of his picture taking is that he thinks every shot is hilarious and quite often says, "that's a tute one."  Here are a couple of my favorites!  Don't judge,  we're just being fun parents.
This one of Ella really is cute!  She's still obsessed with the dishwasher (and my purse!)
The funnier face you pull, the more hilarious Jack thinks his picture taking is :)

In other news. . . I'm not sure how it happened, but Ella smashed her tiny pinky finger which is literally not much bigger than a toothpick.  I remember her crying one day by our entertainment center so I'm thinking it happened then, but I'm not sure.  I just noticed one day that it looked like her fingernail was going to fall off.  Sure enough, a couple of days later it did.  If you are easily upset by gruesome fingernail shots then you should avert your eyes from the following pictures.
It was hanging on by a thread, but I couldn't bring myself to pull it off.

When it did fall off it was during nap time and disappeared, so I didn't get to save it for her baby book :) 
It has been off for a couple of weeks and has barely, barely started growing back.  I already have parent guilt that my baby girl is 14 months old and I have never painted her cute little fingernails, and now I have to add to it that if I do paint her fingernails it will just draw attention to her bum pinky nail.  I guess for now the nail polish will have to wait!
