30 Day Photo Challenge - Days 8 - 17

We've been busy...and I've been having a photo slump...but I have done my homework so far but have really been having a tough time of balancing living in the moment and capturing it...we had 2 events in the past couple of weeks that I did not take pictures at...weird for me.  BUT then we got home from our vacation to Michigan and the urge to take pictures was back thankfully!  I will have a few upcoming posts about our vacation, the fair and some new recipes I've tried but for now on to the challenge days:

Day 8: Silhouette Shot -

I love the black and white of this shot - her eyelashes get me.  I also love the soft round cheeks and wispy hair.

 

 Day 9: Crying or having a meltdown

It was actually more of a challenge to get her while in mid meltdown because most of the time I am trying to soothe her while she is melting.  In this case Ryan was being the soother....by the way - the meltdown was over having to come in and wash her hands from playing outside because she touched bird poop.  Awesome.  haha

Day 10: Holding hands with someone

I snapped this one while walking around the animal barns at the fair.

 Day 11: Tiny Feet

This one is funny because she does NOT have tiny feet...she has big feet...but I thought this was cute as she was climbing around at the park.

 Day 12: Eating Breakfast

I thought I would capture a moment of her actually using her fork somewhat properly...you never realize all of the coordination required to do the simple things in life such as using a fork! 

Day 13: Shoot from above

This was while running around at the park as well.

Day 14: What they do during quiet time. 

We JUST started coloring with markers for 2 reasons - they are a mess and I only had non-washable markers so I picked up some washable ones and her coloring bug is back in a big way.  I needed to get some housework done so I put her at the desk with the new markers and a coloring book and away she went.

Day 15: Playing outside

Coloring away...on the picnic table seat...we've had numerous incidents of colorful backsides...

Day 16: Interacting with friends...

Disclaimer...I didn't actually take this picture...but I was there and thought it was beautiful and special and wanted to share :)  These are 2 of the sweet little girls that Naomi gets to tag along with at Hiawatha.  They are both so sweet and special, I wanted to share the moment of them all coloring together at this age because we only see each other once a year so they will all look and act differently next year!

 Day 17: Walking Away

...this was after bath time...she said she needed socks and Ryan was folding laundry and he gave her his tie dyed socks then of course she needed to put on shoes....oh the fashion choices this girl makes!  I had to include the one of her walking back to us though because the little smile kills me!
