Had to Share

I was playing with a editing program the other night and I figured out how to selectively single out a color.  I was so excited.  I love it when professional photographers do this and I figured it out!  Anyways that is all I have to say and here is the picture that I took.  I turned it into a black and white all except for Nona's eyes as you can see.  I just love the way it turned out.  I thought I wouldn't have time to play around with editing software.  But I have been using Aperture and it is so easy.  It has been really easy to figure out.  I have only trialed it for a month and I love it. 

Well that is all of the update for right now, not much of an update, but I just had to share!

A Trip to the Zoo and Easter

There's a what behind me?

Okay so I haven't updated this blog in a while.  So here is my attempt at an update.

We finally made it to The Birmingham Zoo.  I'm pretty sure that Nona had a good time.  She learned what a lion says and got to see them.  We also got to see an elephant fairly close up.  You can see in the picture to the right.

DO NOT PUT ME DOWN!!

We also went to the petting zoo while we were there.  Nona did not like that part of the zoo at all.  She did not want to touch the animals and she wouldn't let Daddy put her down.  So all in all I think the zoo was a success.  

Nona has now learned what a dog says... woof woof. I would download a video but blogger is being difficult today. And apparently almost all animals say woof woof, except for the cow and the lion.  Nona can also now point out her nose, mouth, and feet.  We are working on eyes.  She says MaMa and DaDa, sometimes.  Whenever she says a new word she usually just says it once, and then figures I proved I know how to say it, why do I have to say it again.  She is definitely keeping us on our toes, and laughing all the time.

So I tried to take some easter pics of her with my new camera.  And I got a few good ones. 

 

The picture in the middle was taken in my "studio."  Okay I don't have a studio, but I tried to make one.  I think it was okay for a first try.  The ones outside turned out much better!!  Thank goodness the Easter Bunny didn't go all out with the candy, Mommy and Daddy would have been in trouble if he had.  But the Easter Bunny did bring some Mega Blocks.  She has loved playing with them and they keep her entertained for about 15 minutes at a time.  This week at daycare she is having her picture taken on Wednesday, or tomorrow.  I am really hoping that we get a few good pictures this time.  We will see as soon as they come back in.

So that is all that is going on right now.  Life is going by way too fast and I really wish I could slow it down just a little bit!  But at least I'll always have the pictures to remember it by.  There are more pics of the Zoo and Easter.  Go check them out.
