Photo Op

Thursday, July 30, 2009

I got some great advice at my baby shower- one grandma told me that her daughter took a picture every month on her kid's "birthday" and that way she had a really neat timeline of her kids growth. All of us parents know how hard it is to keep up with photos of the kids, especially as we keep adding more kids! We have some in spurts, like when there were a lot of events, and then weeks go by without a single photo. They're always doing something funny (especially when they're 2), but to get them to keep doing it long enough to go get the camera and to hold still while you take the photo is another challenge all together.

So I've been taking photos of Duke on the 28th of every month, without fail. That being the other day, I went in to capture the moment while he was very intently reading one of his books:

He heard me, and wanted to pose (unusual: usually he wants nothing to do with having his photo taken).

Then I tried to get some shots of the two of us (I'm not posting them, I look terrible!). But then the dinosaurs apparently needed to be documented. And his books. And all his other toys.

This is just a sample population. Thank God for digital cameras- I can't imagine having driven to the store, dropped off the film, waited, driven back and having to PAY for these!
