Baby Feet by Edgar Guest

Baby Feet
Edgar Guest

Tell me, what is half so sweet
As a baby's tiny feet,
Pink and dainty as can be,
Like a coral from the sea?
Talk of jewels strung in rows,
Gaze upon those little toes,
Fairer than a diadem,
With the mother kissing them!

It is morning and she lies
Uttering her happy cries,
While her little hands reach out
For the feet that fly about.
Then I go to her and blow
Laughter out of every toe;
Hold her high and let her place
Tiny footprints on my face.

Little feet that do not know
Where the winding roadways go,
Little feet that never tire,
Feel the stones or trudge the mire,
Still too pink and still too small
To do anything but crawl,
Thinking all their wanderings fair,
Filled with wonders everywhere.

Little feet, so rich with charm,
May you never come to harm.
As I bend and proudly blow
Laughter out of every toe,
This pray, that God above
Shall protect you with His love,
And shall guide those little feet
Safely down life's broader street.

Carnival of Little Feet, Third Edition

I am thrilled that we have more entries for the ongoing Carnival of Little Feet.  If you haven't yet seen the first and second editions, please check out those gorgeous little toes!

My favorite soul from across the sea, Kathryn, the Bookworm, sends a beautiful photo of Little Cherub's tiny toes.  Aren't they heavenly?

Lissa has a whole bunch of beautiful photos of her kids over at the Bonny Glen.  Not only are those children extremely photogenic, but little Rilla certainly has some really delicious piggies!

Now, if anyone knows female toes, its Amy from Among Women.  She has a house full of delightful little girls who have so graciously sent us this gorgeous group shot. 

Lastly, I thought I would add my own contribution to the Carnival of Little Feet.  Here are my own Benjamin's feet, taken six years ago.  On that same day, I also shot the photo that adorns my Babylove header, Christopher's tender toes at six months of age. 

Many thanks to those of you who have shared your photos and made us smile! 

Carnival of Little Feet, Second Edition

Well, it has been such fun to see all of the photos of those gorgeous feet!  Here are some more for you to enjoy!

Cheryl, of Time Really Does Fly, sends her Sweetpea's toes, taken when she was just six months old.

 

And another closer look at those precious tootsies...

Karen Edmisten shares a photo of Ramona's feet.  Not only does Ramona have some cute little toes but she is constantly making me laugh.  When I am grumpy, I go to Karen's blog and read the Ramona posts.  Always makes me feel better.  Thanks Ramona!

Another wonderful Karen, of Cirque de Moi, has submitted this great shot of her little one's tiny piggies.  So very sweet! 

These feet were sent in by Cheryl of My Thoughtful Spot.  She sure does have delightful baby toes as well as some very squeezable legs!  She reminds me of someone else I know.

Thank you, ladies for sending your photos!  Those are some absolutely darling little feet!

Any of you who have not yet sent your pictures can do so whenever you'd like.  There is no deadline for this little Carnival of sorts.  I will continue to post photos as long as there are entries.  Thank You!

Carnival of Little Feet

So many of you responded by sending your photos! I am delighted!  Here is the first batch of baby feet photos sure to make you smile.  I will post the pictures a few at a time, as they come in, like an ongoing "Carnival of Little Feet".

This photo of Sweet Karoline's feet, sent by Elizabeth, was taken on her baptism day.  Those tiny little feet in their pure white booties are just so beautiful, aren't they?

Next are baby Eileen's delicate set of ten pink and perfect toes taken at two weeks of age, sent by Alice of Cottage Blessings.   

Here is a line of happy feet submitted by Suzanne of Gladdest Hours.  All those toes in a row are irresistible!

Suzanne also sent another great shot.  I love how they all blend into one jumble of fingers and toes!

These beautiful, newborn, wrinkled soles, fresh from God, were sent by Kim of Starry Sky Ranch. What a gorgeous photo!

 

Cay Gibson has a fond memory of a relaxing summer day.  She shares this photo of her daughter's little sandy foot.

Jen, from As Cozy as Spring, sends us this lovely fall picture of her little one's darling toes!  Couldn't you just kiss them all?

Here's a pair that shouldn't be missed! These dainty sweet feet belong to little Miss Mae, over at Joyful Chaos. 

Melissa, at Bountiful Blessings, shares this "before" shot of her daughter's tiny tootsies prior to buying her first pair of shoes.  Click here to see her pretty new shoes.

This owner of this little beautiful foot was caught frolicking in sand and surf by Nina at Painted Rainbows and Chamomile Tea.

Many thanks to all of you who have sent in these wonderful submissions. I will download a photo album in the sidebar of all these precious feet in the upcoming days.  This was a lot of fun!

Did you see…

...these beautiful little chubby feet? I just can't resist dimpled baby toes! :)

Send your baby feet photos my way and I will post them here for Babylove readers to enjoy.  Maybe I will start a new category for baby feet!
