~*365 Photo Challenge*~

I saw on another blog a challenge that someone had for themselves for the new year, which consisted of them doing a photo of their child every day for one year. After some thinking about it, and realizing that as much as I would love to do this, and as much as I know I would fail, I wanted to do it anyway. So I've started. The biggest issue I run into is that getting the photos from camera to computer to online is sometimes difficult, especially with our upload being as slow as it is here. But, I'm going to give it a shot, one day at a time (pun intended).

I feel that this would go right along with our family blog anyway, I can continue to post blogs on what I was thinking during that time that I took the photo. Another goal of mine this year is to get enough blogs on here to make it worth making it into a book like I did with Hunter's blog. So, in many ways, these goals go hand in hand.

January 1

 Hunter and Abby played out in the shed while dad was vacuuming the car. Obviously Hunter was driving the barbie Jeep fast enough to make Abigail laugh! I'm sure they were about to run into the front of the car here... if it is scary and fun, Abigail laughs!

 Abigail was a bit restless in bed overnight, she woke at 4am and laid out on the couch with me for 20 minutes before asking for some water. I got the water and put her to bed with the cup. She started crying and Jake got up and gave her some milk to have in bed. Well, sometime after that, she got herself out of bed, went to the living room and laid face down on the couch. We didn't know about it until Jake flipped the light on after his shower and saw her there laying on the couch. Neither one of us knew! It was awfully cute!

 Hunter likes to play with his lego sets, sometimes he thinks that they are guns. I have a strict rule that he cannot "shoot" mom with the guns, but this time, he was "shooting" the camera. Boys will be boys Jake tells me!

January 3

 Hunter can now play the Wii, Xbox, Nintendo 3DS, and the computer pretty well. He is on an xbox kick. He plays a game that I would prefer him not to play, (I won't mention the name for fear of judgement!) but I was figuring last night that we frequently tell him that the games are for pretend and we don't let him play them too much. Sometimes as a parent what you think was appropriate and not appropriate before you have kids gets changed based on who your kid is and what they are like. If he was difficult to control and not so stinkin sweet, maybe I would not let him play these games.

Abby was taking a bath last night and I noticed how long her hair is getting and I wanted to take a photo to remember my awe. I set up her (and Hunter's) annual doctor appointment yesterday and while stating what check up she is having I did say out loud "wow, I can't believe she is two" I still can't believe Hunter is 4, I still can't believe I've been married to my best friend for 5. Time flies. 5 more years and I will be in my mid-thirties, Hunter will be turning 9, Abby 7. I just cannot believe it.
