First Day With My New Camera!

I have been having problems with my old point and click camera, because Kaiya is a pretty fast moving kid, and all my pictures seemed to turn out blurry. So for my birthday, I asked for an SLR camera. My dad, a photography buff from back in the day, and I narrowed it down and picked a great new Nikon, and I was so excited about it, that after the battery charged, I spent the whole next day taking pictures. Here are some of the highlights, and it probably represents a pretty average day for us!

So, I have had trouble getting Kaiya to pose for pictures lately, and someone suggested that I ask her if I can take a picture of her favorite stuffed animal, and boy did that help! I started out by just taking a picture of C.C.

I love this picture, because you can see her sweet little hand fixing C.C.'s flipper. She noticed it was tucked up under her, and wanted to fix it before I took her friend's picture.


Then I asked if I could take a picture of her and C.C. together, and she ran across the room and threw herself on the blue chair.


Of course Kaiya and Daddy had to do a little rough housing, Kaiya says "I wanna go upside-down!" and then she laughs almost manically.


Did I mention that C.C. is our favorite friend? She likes to keep her close by.

Of course, no day would be complete without harassing Pepper until she bears her teeth and growls menacingly.

Then it is time for a bath! Here is my little duck, cheesing it up for the camera!
Don't you think she looks like Jamie in this picture?

Last of all, it is time for stories before bed. Getting ready for bed is Daddy's special time to spend with Kaiya, and I think he enjoys reading stories with her as much as she does.
By the way, thanks to Megan for the tip on the "Baby Jaguar" jammies, they are her favorite, and I wish I would have followed her advice and bought a pair in the next size too. We both love them.

So there you are! A typical Sunday afternoon with our family! I am so excited to learn how to use my new camera really well, thanks Mom & Dad!
