How cute is this?! Sleeping baby photos from artist Queenie Liao.  She posed her baby in different poses while he was sleeping. She says, “Everyday just before Wengenn’s nap, I would imagine him being the main character in one of my favorite episodes, and “paint” a background setting with plain clothes, stuffed animals, and other common household materials, just like how an artist would with her paint brushes.”
