Nice Job -- Theme Thursday

Since getting a new camera for my birthday, I've decided to start playing along with Theme Thursday. I might not be using a fancy-looking DSLR, but I've got a good point and shoot -- and frankly, I'm still in auto shooting mode anyway. ;-) (But of course, we're still working through the issue of my camera and computer not liking each other, so I'm having to route through my iPhone to post. Hence the cropping issues. Boo!)

I interpreted the theme a bit differently, mostly because I'm squealing, "Good job, Buddy!" 4396 times daily. There is something about my kids learning to crawls that gets me all worked up. I think because there are so many little steps they go through in the process. And I celebrate all of them. Also why I talk about it pretty incessantly. He'll eventually crawl and I'll start talking about something else.

None of which matters, since there are no rules for this. But there's a reason Wordless Wednesday doesn't work for me. ;)

Without further ado, I present "The Inchworm: A Photo Series." (As I've been typing, he's worked his way to the toddler toys. Waiting for Clare to freak out in 3...2..1...)

Visit Cari at Clan Donaldson for prettier, more artistic photos. ;-)

Theme Thursday, Vol. 1

I haven't been playing Theme Thursday at Clan Donaldson for lots of reasons, the first and foremost being that my photography these days is all via slow point-and-shoot or iDevice. Neither is known for it's great quality. The inner year of high school photography and dark rooming cringes

But I took this cute shot this morning while I drank coffee:

 

And when I saw the theme, well, I couldn't resist joining the fun.

I mean, everything is play to this little munchkin, and that's just how I like it. I know I can't protect her from the big, bad world forever but I want her to play her little heart out until then,. She has an exuberance for life that I find infectious.
