quiet moments at home with Sienna...
the purpose of this project was to play with the harsh shadows created by the early afternoon sunshine. It was hard manipulating the blown out effect this time of day creates (plus the house next to us is white which reflects even brighter light) and balancing it with the dark appliances in my home. I also am working on my post processing of black and white conversions... they're so much more intricate than color.
Sienna at 18 months:
she is so curious and smart... she has been doing great at talking, it's almost like a parrot next to me some days. She is also going through her "little ripper" stage... the time when temper tantrums are perfected and climbing {and falling} off things is in... It's a challenging time but it's keeping me on my toes {and in shape!}
the girl loves water... we don't have room or do I care to spend money on a "water table"... we revert to the "good ole days" for this one and put a pot of cold soapy water in the sink with a few utensils...
she is starting to help mama around the house a lot and I've been training her to throw her dirty diapers in the garbage. We are also discovering what going to the bathroom on the potty means {she even gets to flush}. She hates wearing clothes when it's hot out {as you can see} and her mullet is finally starting to grow out!
she's teething which means there have been A LOT of long long nights (in long long stretches)... we don't get much sleep those nights so we nap hard when we can! Only a few more teeth to go!
