P366 #22 - Where is Liam?

Where is Liam?

Here I am!

All set up for a nap in the toybox.

But maybe now that Mom is in here with the camera, naptime is cancelled. (No way, Jose!)

 

 Drat.

Liam took a trip to see the audiologist today. Bottom line? Hearing loss is not a factor concerning his expressive communication. Not that I didn't already know that. ;)

Here he is, checking out the book basket in the audiologist's waiting room.

Project 366.9

I thought I would share with you some photography shot by my little guy, Liam.

I get about 200 shots like this every time he nabs my iPod (he averages 3 times a day).

In addition to commandeering my ipod's Face Time-ready camera (do you have face time? Isn't that cool?), he managed to beat a level in Angry Birds that I had not yet managed to beat after several attempts - but I'll save that awesomeness for another post.

I present to you the series, "Foot On A Couch."

Project 355.6

Per my resolution, I had to get something in today. This is what I have, because this is basically the majority of what we did today. We played. Liam is fascinated by all cars and trucks. The Sheriff is a favorite. :)

Project 366.5

Liam.

In a car seat.

In the . . . living room?

You bet. I needed to get something (anything!) done and after a few fiascos this week with Comet, nail polish and Sharpie markers, I hauled in his car seat and put the creative, imaginative (albeit totally destructive) child on lockdown for a few minutes so I could be productive and fold a load of laundry or wash dishes.

Liam, in the meantime, got a chance to watch a little bit of his favorite movie, Cars.

When I came back around the corner, he was asleep. And no wonder! He's been on turbo mode since before dawn.

Project 366.4

Perfectly good bed.

And yet here he sleeps, on the floor.

With Mack, from Cars. :)

 

He loves Mack.

Project 366

I really dropped the ball when it came to taking pictures of my kids this year, especially towards the end of the year.  Well, no, I guess I took them, but hardly any came out well.  Most of them were grainy, red-eyed, unfocused and fuzzy.  And since I have no idea what I'm doing, I don't know how to even begin to fix it.

Except for one idea.

I am dreaming of owning a fancy-dancy camera (the big lens variety, heavy, with the strap that goes around my neck).  I imagine that it's probably a Nikon, though I really haven't got a clue about quality brands when it comes to cameras.  I think I remember hearing that Nikon is the best.  Ah!  But I won't be in the dark for long, because once I have that camera, I am going to sign up for the next available photography class and learn all I can on the subject.  I've also heard that a good photoshop program is the magic key to good pictures.

Before all that happens though, I need to record the stuff that's going on right now.  I mean, these kids of mine have grown at least a foot in the last six months (at least, it seems that they have!) so I have to be content and use what I have. I'm glad I have a camera at all.  I went without one for most of Emma's first year, only borrowing my mom's on occasion to grab what moments I could.

It is with all that in mind that I begin Project 366.

What is Project 366?

I'm glad you asked!

Project 366, for my intents and purposes, will be a picture of my everyday life posted here. That's everyday for one year.  This year is a leap year, which accounts for my proposed 366th day.  Even if it's a grainy, fuzzy, red-eyed, out-of-focus picture - if it's all I have for the day, I'm posting it.

And so now, I make my first contribution to Project 366:

Liam, 3, is still awake at 11:10 pm as I write this.  It's not that I haven't tried to get him to sleep.  He had an oddly-timed nap today that sort of threw off his whole schedule.  He's my routine baby.  Mess with his schedule and you'll be picking up the pieces for days.
