Time Flies

This little one (GB#1) is 11 months old.

I don't think that's really possible.

But seriously, it is possible.  Time flies.

See you soon,

Sharon

What is it?

Day 21 of the June Challenge:  Micro (up close)

I haven't done a "What Is It?" for a while.

Here is my Micro picture.  What is it?

GB#2 is 7 months old today.  She is quite tall.

She is quite grown up and getting very mobile.

She is curious

and loves to show us her personality.

So...what is it?

Number 7 for June

My challenge photo for today, High Angle, is the angel who lives in our backyard.

I like him back there amongst the greenery and flowers.

My kids think he's creepy.

Since yesterday was GB#1's catch up day, my catch up photos for today are of GB#2.

In April GB#2 turned 5 months.  I'll use this one for the mosaic.

With a wardrobe change, we took a few (several) more.

These are just a few of my favorites.

Then in May she turned 6 months.

This time we ventured outside for the photo session.

GB#2 was fascinated by her fluffy underskirt.

And finally, she thoroughly enjoyed her first swing.

See you tomorrow,

Sharon

Challenges

Hi again,

Today's challenge picture is Books.  These are a couple of my favorites.  

I haven't made anything out of them yet, but I really want to, and in the mean time, they are wonderful books to read over and over.

Today I think I'll do a little catch up also.  Last month GB#1 turned 9 months.

It was not her preference to lie still for the mosaic photo.

I was lucky to get this one with a scowl.

She was much happier sitting up, playing with my lens cap.

Today GB#1 is 10 months old.

I could tell right away it was going to be a challenge.

Almost exactly like last month, she did not want to lie down for the mosaic picture. 

She is much to busy for that.

This is the best I could do.  Unfortunately, the picture is not very well-focused. 

(Backdrop is a crocheted hexagon blanket made by GB#1's Aunt M. 

You can find the pattern over at Attic 24)

Finally free of the photo session, she smiled and smiled in the swing in the back yard.

More fun tomorrow,

Sharon

While I'm Otherwise Occupied

You know the drill.

GB#1.  Mosaic picture.

Good job, Little E!

Mosaic Day

GB#2 came for a visit today.
 We took the mosaic pictures on the blanket knit by Great Grandma.

Then we took some basket pictures for spring

and got quite serious.

We discovered the flowers

and played with Mommy's face.

All in all I'd say it was a pretty good day.

Until next time,

Sharon

On March 6th...

it snowed.  It was a heavy, wet snow.  

The drive over to Little E's was a beautiful one.

GB#1 got ready and we did our photo shoot as usual.

It was not a particularly smiley day because all she really wanted to do was roll over.

Any day now she will be a mobile monkey.

That is, when she's not doing this.

It is getting harder and harder to pick my favorites from the mosaic photo shoots. 

I love them all.

See you tomorrow (really, another photo shoot),

-Sharon

More Fun

GB#2 turned 3 months old yesterday.

Of course, we had a photo session.  Above is my pick for the mosaic.

Here is a favorite.

And here is another.

And finally, check out the curly hairdo.

Six Months

Yes, the 6th was six month day for GB#1.

I took lots of pictures.

It is really hard to pick my favorite for the mosaic.

I think I will consult with Little E for her choice.

This is really what GB#1 wanted to do during the photo shoot.

She loves her feet...

and her hands...

and her mommy.

Some Fun

GB#2 is two months old.  She is learning to smile on command. 

Perfect timing for the mosaic picture.

While we were at the business of taking photos, I took the opportunity to photograph the two little ones together in their Hogwarts clothes they received for Christmas.  

If GB#1 didn't have a hold of her feet (which she seems to enjoy immensely) you would see that these little ladies are about the same size.

And like a good older cousin would do, GB#1 is explaining to GB#2 how this photo session stuff works.  I imagine she is telling her, "It's really not that bad."
