Day 12 of 365

I wasn't able to post my photo last night because... well, the subject of my photo refused to let mommy have any time to herself.  So, finally, late in the evening, as she struggled to eat yet another bottle in an attempt to fall asleep, I snapped this shot.

She doesn't look to tired, does she?

Day 11 of 365

Today was a busy day spent getting possession of the new cottage, navigating the snow, and watching the work men start to rip apart the new cottage.  So I wandered about outside for a few moments looking for the right subject for today's photo.  The whole time I was being shadowed by our contractor's dog, Tyson.  I turned around to talk to him and ... presto... there was my photo!

Then, since it was starting to snow, we ended up tucking back into our hotel room, where I did a little photo shoot with the baby.  This shot was captured while she and grandma were hanging out. 

Day 10 of 365

I'm on the road today, and even though I did find some time to take a few shots none of them are really blog worthy. Here's the best of the bunch.  I was trying to catch snapshot of a bald eagle fishing, when along came a dog who started chasing the poor eagle!

Day 9 of 365

Jamie got a belated present from her cousin, Nathan, this past weekend, and today I installed the mobile in her crib... and boy oh boy it was an instant hit.  After fits of giggles - both from Jamie and myself - I grabbed my camera and caught a few shots. 

 

Day 8 of 365

Today the sun decided to peek through the clouds, and I decided to play with my camera's manual settings while out and about.  I managed to take about 100 photos today, but have managed to whittle is down to just a few to share. 

Our youngest cat, Todd, decided to take in the warmth of the winter sun perked at our window.

Jamie relaxed in her bed watching the sunlight cause shadows to dance on her walls... luckily her buddy the doggy-rattle was close at hand to assure her all was right with the world. 

Then we decided to get out for a walk.  Our house is located just off the Galloping Goose regional trail.  It links downtown Victoria all the way out to Sooke.  For us, it provides an easy walk to Thetis Lake, so we took advantage of this, bundled up the baby and headed out. 

 

Lots of other people had the same idea, and the beach at the lake was full of people running their dogs off leash.  I thought this photo was cool because of how the foreground is in shadows and the dogs are in motion.  Usually you'll find dogs out swimming in the water, but the lake was starting to freeze over. 

Day 7 of 365 - Grandma's Here!

Mom showed up today, so I snapped some shot when we went over to her apartment for dinner! 

 

Day 6 of 365

Today I decided to capture some photos of a few of Jamie's favorite things. 

The first... she LOVES to play with the "other baby in the mirror"

Though she's a smart cookie and is starting to figure out that mommy and daddy are in the mirror too!!  Every time the camera would make a sound, she'd look at me, but via the mirror, rather than turning around.

And of course, what would life be like without her daily romp in her jumper.  Though she'd like everyone to know she's awefully fond of the rattle toy that she got for Christmas (that's in the foreground) and even was kind enough to share it with another baby at BabyTalk today.
