Overcomplicated Photography

Mom's goal was to make photography easy and perfect so she could document the cute things I do in an orderly fashion. The real time results, however, have not quite materialized the way she had hoped. This has now led to the problem of how to manage 3 cameras, 3 computers, and 2 cloud storage servers. And the final result of this mess...I can't blog because there are pictures everywhere! Feels better to get that off my chest.  I will now work with what I  have to create this post which is mostly camera phone because they automatically upload. And I have given mom a deadline of June 11 to get her act together and fix this mess. I can't work under these conditions and put out a quality product.

This summer is starting out great. It has been full of weekend trips, lots of family and friends visiting, pool time, and great weather.  I had heard that early summer was the best time of the year and its true. 

Michael graduated on May 14. We have a great photo of it on another camera...go figure. The generic cake shot doesn't have quite the same effect. 

We had family and friends over to celebrate graduation and see Hayley's dance recital. There were 15 people sleeping at our house. No pics of that one but not a hard mental image to compose. 

Other things I have been up to so far include jeeping to the top of the bookcliff mountains

No one trusted me out of my carseat so you have to look hard to find me

amazing view and that tiny line below is I-70

I got to go to my second crawfish boil at Miss Traci's house. Pics to follow in next post- I promise

I have been very busy taking care of bitty baby. Here is her bottle

Putting her in the stroller

Off we go

A few of our neighbors have pools so that is where we spend most hot days

dive practice in case anyone drops goggles

For anyone wondering if Im losing any of my baby fat...ummm, no

You may be wondering why there are no cute close up pictures this time. I mentioned earlier these were the camera phone shots and that camera cannot keep up with me. I am fast and shifts any time my feet are on the ground. Just as soon as I hear the autofocus of any camera set, I run in a different direction- usually laughing. Think Top Gun when the fighter jets try to avoid missile lock from enemy planes in the sky chase. So it now takes a real camera and a photographer ready for action. 

At my last appointment, my metabolic/neurodevelopmental doctor was concerned that I was unusually hyperactive because I did not stop moving/running/jumping the entire time. Although he sees kids 0-3 years old all day long, mom thought he was crazy. Being true American parents, mom and dad like to consider me energetic and free spirited vs out of control.  In the past 3 weeks they have been around multiple kids my age and Dr. E may be on to something. But can you imagine how chubby I would be if I ever sat down??? 

cheers!
