Harper's Bed!

Mid Sneeze :)

There are a RIDICULOUS amount of pictures in this post. 

I'm loving my new lens to say the least.

We were throwing pacis in the crib and yelling "Yipee!" and she was CRACKING UP. 

(I know! Pictures NOT of my kids! The perfume above is the scent I wore on my wedding day...)

The following two pictures were taken from the same spot. Loving the range on the zoom!

I managed to sneak into Harper's room to take a quick shot of her sleeping in her big girl bed for the first time :)

I meant to edit & upload yesterday's pics first but the excitement of the new lens took precedence so I'll add those later :)

Pics coming tomorrow! Both the keyboard and mouse batteries died on our desktop (where I do all my photo storage & editing) and are currently charging.

What else is coming tomorrow?! My new lens!!! I've been tracking it and it just went through Seattle. I hope we're on the earlier end of the delivery truck route :-D

Can't wait. Can't wait. Can't wait.

No pictures yet, I haven't taken any yet today :)

BUT...

I just ordered my new lens and I'm getting it on THURSDAY!!!!! (yes that required all caps and multiple exclamation points)

I was going to send it to Seattle since a) I have a bit more time on my Amazon Prime trial and could use free 2 day shipping, and b) we'll be there next week. However, upon check out I realized sending it to Seattle meant I needed to pay tax and it was a BIG chunk of money. So, I paid much less to just have it shipped 2 day to Anchorage :)

Can't wait to use it!

Come back later tonight for pictures.

Harper turned 21 months so we did her 1 3/4 photo today.

(to see how she's grown since 12 months, the collage is on our family blog)

I only got one smile, but it was a total "Harper show Mommy your smile!" smile.

And a couple of M. In a basket. With the most nommable cheeks ever.

These are pretty much all SOOC (straight out of camera) with very minimal tweaks in editing. I love natural light and can't wait until we get to Seattle because my parent's house has TONS. 

Marin rolled back to front for the first time today! Here are a couple pics of her attempting it before it actually happened.

We taught her how to do a gymnastics "ending" pose. I especially love how she has a paci in one hand and an animal cracker in the other.

2 months down...10 months to go!

With my P365 last year I made it to February 27th, but also posted one last pic on March 3rd so I've made it longer in consecutive days so far! Yay! After March 3rd I'll officially made it longer overall. Go me!

I took a lot of pictures today. 

Funny how on the days I wake up and think "maybe I'll just skip today", I end up taking TONS. So I have a lot to share.

These two were taken seconds apart:

Not fans of the chair. Duly noted. 

Though once given a paci and an Ugly Doll, Marin seemed a bit more content :)

A little sister time in the crib. I love this picture. 

Love her face. Hate that it's blurry. Love it anyway. 

Everyone loves a good bubble bath!

One of the (many) times I wish I had a video camera on my DSLR. She was singing to her baby doll and I just about melted into a puddle. 

Spit Bubbles!

I have no idea what to even call this face. Concern? Worry? Pooping? All of the above? Whatever it is, it's cute and I think I actually nailed focus on her eyes! Though I'm a horrible judge of this as I really need an eye exam and new glasses. 

Another "blurry but too cute not to share" picture. 

Whew. 

I bet you all can't wait until I get to Seattle and have NEW places to take pictures :-P
