@Amanda: Duh. Emily is a vampire and the other babies are stock photos. Josh, Jan and Emily (the vampire) have no friends.

It appears that only the visitors cause wrinkling of the surfaces on which they lay. In the picture with Tom, you can see the wrinkles in the sheets and the slight indentation in the pillow, while Emily appears to be causing some sort of dip in the pillow she doesn’t appear to be effecting the sheet. There also appears to be a remarkable lighting difference between Tom and Emily, although it might just be due to the fact that Tom is a much pinker baby and his clothes are darker.
It might just be my eyes, but the second picture looks as though you super-imposed a picture of Luca on a pre-existing picture of Emily in the Moses basket. Even though his arm is above hers there is no shadow cast on her.
It must be all the natural light in your apartment, I do not think I have ever seen a picture of Emily with a shadow.

@Amanda – I’m not sure I understand your question. I use Photoshop with every photo on my blog: I adjust the color balance and the contrast and am forced to remove the occasional red-eye. Plus I crop the photo and add it to my pre-made photo template (that’s where that nifty drop shadow comes from). But I have yet to manipulate any photo of Emily with the intention of rendering her unrecognizable. I haven’t added an extra arm or anything. Why? Is there a specific photo that you suspect of being manipulated? You think I made up that Tom guy?

She gorgeous. Let her look where she wants. When there is something she wants to see on her left, she will look left. The kid is brilliant. Let her be.
