Crying

One of my favourite photogs, Joel Sartore, said that you're not being fair if you don't photograph your kids when they're crying.

After all, that's what kids do.

If you intend to document all the significant moments, you really ought to capture the crying too.

To be fair, Kaitlyn really doesn't cry a lot.

When she wakes up, she just lies there and sucks her thumb until we realise she's awake. When she's hungry, she doesn't really complain. When she's tired, she will "chat" and coo a lot and try to suck her thumb to soothe herself. It's only when she's really tired and can't soothe herself to sleep that she cries.
