The Ellis Family: Tiny Dancer: Revisited

Remember this? Click Here. She was 3 months old. Wow. I can't believe how much time has gone by. She has changed and grown so much. It is just amazing to me. So, those pictures were taken in August 2008, at my mom's house, with my old tutu from a dance recital. Well, since we found ourselves, exactly a year later, at my mom's with same said tutu, I figured we needed another tiny dancer photo shoot. Only this time, our model was a not-so-tiny dancer. But still oh-so-cute! This time she knew exactly what to do once I put it on her. She gave the tutu some life. This time she danced around feeling very special. This time...she had me chasing after her. It was much easier when she just laid on the bed, with the tutu stuff under her. But then again, I wasn't able to get these adorable moments. Take a look:

This was the very first picture I took. She was still spinning around, loving that I let her play in the giant green tutu. She was spinning so much, that I ended up with motion blur, but I love how it turned out anyway. It gives it character. And you can see how much she loved dancing:

So, that was the original picture. Then I played around and added different styles and came up with this pseudo-Andy Warhol looking collection. Pretty cool, if you ask me.

Ok, so then we moved outside and now we are onto the big moves.
Pirouette, Pirouette, Pirouette:

Is that a plie?

Are you watching me?

She would lose her balance and catch herself, and this was the view we would have. Butt up in the air:

Catching herself again:

So, I'm not so sure what this is. She just started doing this move. She would run around, bent over, with her arms stretched out behind her, as seen below. I have no idea what she is trying to do. Maybe some backwards swan dance?
