From her days in my womb, Sugar Bear has been very fond of music. I would sing to her when her kicking became unbearable and she would quickly settle. From her first moments of life on "the outside", I could quickly soothe her by singing some of her favorite songs.
To this day, she delights in singing, dancing, and playing instruments. Her most recently acquired instrument is a lap harp. I adore listening to her music, and my heart practically bursts from my chest as she strums the STRINGS and sings little made up songs.
I will never tire of her enthusiasm for music.
There just might be another fun instrument under the Christmas tree for her this year. It is my desire to make sure she has as many experiences with music as possible. As long as my Sugar wants to express herself musically.....I be right here, as she plucks the STRINGS of my heart.
Thank you for visiting my blog this week. I look forward to seeing all the STRINGS attached to your blogs. :) Happy Weekend to all.
45 Live It or Love It:
With love and music in her life. She'll definitely grow up pulling strings of lots of hearts. :)

Sugar looks totally wrapped up in what she is doing. Music is food for the soul. Great photos. Excellent future record for your daughter. ;0)
Lovely. My kids love to improvise with real and imaginary instruments.
Very nice -- photos and accompanying story! :)
great post, love the photo's perfect for this weeks theme :-)
view mine if you wish here thanks...
Nice compostion and story. I had one of those when I was a child and I called it a zither.
She'll be a star soon!!! [then you can retire on her income as she records and publishes her CDs!!]
My strings are strung and strummed...come join me if you can find some time today! Happy Hunting!!!
She'll be the next Star someday!~ Always love your photos! I won't get tired of saying that!~
Mine is HERE if you have a time! Thanks! Happy PH!
I knew you were going to do something unique and kick-ass for this theme! And you didn't disappoint me!
I love those things... I wish I could learn an instrument, but am not able to keep time very well. Kudos to you for supporting your daughter's interests.
I love it, Corey! She's such a blessed little girl. :D
I have one of those! I fell in love with it in the store and the hubs gave it to me for Christmas! Sadly, I'm not terribly musical and it sits in a drawer most of the time, but I refuse to get rid of it.
I think my favorite shot might be #4. Or maybe #6. Can't decide!
Do stop by when you can -

What a LOVELY set of photos! :)
She's so adorable. The Bean would be right there with her playing. She loves music as well!
the first photo is very artistic but Sugar Bear is the sweetest.
What gorgeous photos and you have a stunning daughter. I am sure she will always appreciate the love of music you are giving her.

What a great post for this week and beautiful photos.
Happy Weekend.
Very sweet..
Beautiful photos.
Love the pics! So talented just like her mommy.
Bet she makes beautiful music. Great photos and have a great weekend.
Wow, I saved my zither from when I was a child and my son also loves to play it now, with all the dot sheet music. Great shots! Thanks for visiting and happy hunting!
Oh wow, I love that you're encouraging her musical ability like that!
I've never seen a lap harp actually!
Those are beautiful shots and so great your daughter enjoys music.
Very cool lap harp! Harrison loves music too, it's so wonderful. I want to get him a quality toy trumpet under the tree this Christmas. he loves trumpets, and guitars, and pianos...well you get the picture.
I also participated (for the first time) in Photohunter this week, you can see it here if you like!
these are just magnificent, magnificent, magnificent shots!!! i wish i could take photos like that. and wish i had a better cam, too!
Wonderful photos! I love the story that goes with them.
Hello there!
New photo hunter here :)
Love your STRING photos!! Your baby is beautiful! I especially love the second to last photo, she looks like she is really loving the sound of the harp... lovely.
Hope you have a super Sunday!
Ah, soooo sweet! I played the harp to settle busy little kickers down during my pregnancies too -- works like a charm!
Good post Corey and isn't it wonderful that your daughter loves music. Have a good weekend.
These are terrific! I adore the one from above of her delicate little fingers strumming the strings. Wonderful photos for our theme!
What great pictures... and great culture in her life! She'll grow up so well rounded since you're helping to develop her interests. That's wonderful.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, and yes it's great to be home again! :-)
Oh Corey, she is a DOLL. Of all the shots I love #4 the best - all around perfect comp (especially with those little hands)!!
Beautiful! Your words go so nicely with your pictures. She looks like such a natural plucking at the strings. :)
She really looks like a natural...perfeclty comfortable with it. My sister is a great musician, but I missed out on that talent. Can Sugar really follow the song cards already? Love your lighting in these, you're so good at working with it.
i so love this. queen of hearts has one of these and really loves it. intermittently. between her violin and saxophone. i think i'm not helping with her short-attention-span thingie.
but seriously, the person who thought of this should be given a very very large gold star. yes.
I always loved playing with these when I was a kid. Seeing Sugar with it, I know they haven't lost their appeal.
Re: your comment, I'd say if The Bean can sit through the hairdo process, I'd bet Sugar can too. It actually doesn't take that long to do once you get the flow going. It's not any longer than doing a french braid.
