day sixteen

Kids are hard to photograph. Given. Want to know what's impossible? Taking a picture of the tower an almost 1 year old builds from blocks before she smacks it to the ground. Here are all my feeble attempts.

First we have: Oops, the flash came on.


Next: Nice Tower, no baby in picture.


And: Baby, check! Blocks, check! Tower, check! Focus? hmmm


So: Baby, blocks... tower. Sorta, if you hold it, it could be a tower!


Then: *smack* Doooooown it goooooes.


Well: It *was* a tower, then the smacker came along.


Er: Again with the FOCUS.


Attempt 8?: Way too late. New strategy too. Crawl on it!


Um: In focus anyway. No blocks, tower OR baby!


Sigh: I am really glad Briar built like 40 towers right in front of me. And I finally sort of got one.
