For those that are not on Facebook, I am doing a 365 day photo challenge. There are a few reasons why. 1) to help me grow as a photographer, practice with different styles of shooting and editing. 2) I really enjoying lifestyle photography. 3) and more importantly, to really capture my kids in their comfort zone. I can't wait to see the growth a year from now in both myself and them. With that said, some days may not be of either of the kids, most days will be of one or both.
The idea of the challenge is to keep me shooting on a daily basis. I am suppose to pick one. It is entirely to difficult to pick JUST ONE! So I don't. Below are days 1-12. If you don't want to see a bunch of pictures of my kids STOP NOW! If you do, please continue.
Day 1 "Playroom fun"
"Relaxing in his spot"
"Watching his shows"
Day 2 "Ninja Turtles can bake"
Day 3 "Enjoying some only child time"
Day 4 "He's BAACK!!"
Day 5 "Brotherly love"
Day 6 "Unexpected visitor"
"Mesmerized"
Day 7 "Backyard Adventures"
He didn't get dressed until about 4
Day 8 "Learning the fork....nailed it"
Day 9 "Blowing the game bc that's how the Nintendo works"
Day 10 I had Brady alone for about 20 minutes while Robert and Ethan went to Walgreens. Below are photos of that 20 minute span. He is definitely on the go all.the.time.
But then he sleeps!
So does big brother.
One of our many summer trips to the mall. We go almost every weekend.
Day 11 "My superheroes"
Day 12 "Learning all summer"
"Mom, can we go inside now? It's hot"
I had only planned to do the one of Ethan for today. But then dinner happened and I couldn't resist.
As the summer starts coming to a close soon we have tried to have a little bit more down time this past week. And, I was able to get a little bit of Brady time last night while Dad and Ethan went to run a couple of quick errands. It is fairly rare to get alone time with Brady and it was tons of fun. These are so much of his little emerging personality. One minute he is laying in the floor relaxing and the next he is up to mischief and throwing things down the stairs.
After I got Brady to bed last night I walked into this scene. This is what I walk into every night really. As soon as Ethan hears me open Brady's door, he has to "hide" from me. Bedtime definitely goes in phases of ease and difficult. I don't want to jinx our current state. We are in a fun one now though.
Ethan has also been taking swim lessons this summer. He is loving it! He is doing so great. It is such a huge leap from when he first started in May. His confidence has increased exponentially!
This boy is so stinking ticklish. Even his little butt cheeks are ticklish!
Here is our little budding musician singing one of his favorites, Hakuma Tata. You may know it as Hakuna Matata.
And here is Turk trying to take food from the baby.
