Bumbo

This girl wants to see the world. She is not content to be in one place without entertainment or company, not content to sit still, not content to be lying down any longer. She wants to sit up and see what’s happening. Since she’s gotten significantly better with holding her head up I decided to bust out her Bumbo (thanks, Dixie!) and see if she could handle it.

She’s still slightly wobbly with her head every now and again, so I only left her in it to give her a break from the boring life of being immobile, but she loved it, and I have to say, she looks dang cute sitting up “by herself”.

Snapshots

March 10, 2010

If you’re not used to high excitement, I recommend moving away from this blog slowly. Seriously, it’s going to blow your mind with the high thrills you’re about to experience.

I got a new camera this week and a couple new fancy lenses so I’ve been trying to get as comfortable with everything as I can before my next session on Friday. The problem comes when I lead a life that basically consists of me not doing much worth photographing. So I decided to take pictures of the unexciting because I need to just get my fingers used to new settings so I can be as fast on my new one as on my old one.

I’m way too lazy to edit these and I wasn’t paying attention to composition or lighting or anything so they’re just quick snapshots, but I figured I’d include them anyway.

I finally got him a new harness so we can go on walks again without getting dragged through town.

Chillin’ at Big Chew Chews.

She went to Chew Chews in her bare feet since it was finally warm outside. You’re welcome for including the toe jam.

My first tulip blooming! This is what it looked like yesterday.

The rest of these are from today! This orange one wasn’t even budding yesterday afternoon. These bloom so fast. I hate to say it, Mom, but my pansies aren’t doing well at all. They’ve been getting water but it looks like they got eaten again.

This is how you make a fish eye photo when you don’t have a fish eye lens but you do have a baby toy with a convex mirror on it. Heh heh.

Violently ill husband, moody & demanding baby, & an attention hungry dog… but I’m still counting this as a good day!

Just playing around with a new lens. Guess who’s eye this is? You’ll never guess! I know, I know, it’s such a mystery. You’re sitting there in your computer chair, dying, just squirming with anticipation waiting to find out who the subject is in this photo.
Hint: It’s not Justin. Or Turk.
Tricky.

I know I haven’t [...]
