Well, Day Care was closed on Friday/Monday for Labor day, so I took off Thursday - Monday to spend some quality time with my girl. It was a blast, but it will be very difficult to leave her and go to work tomorrow. As I've mentioned in the past, vacations are even more bitter sweet when you have to leave a darling baby at the other end.
I had the opportunity to rent a lens that I have been curious about. This thing is a monster - Canon's 24-70 USM. It is supposed to be great for portraits, weddings, etc. So, instead of spending an obnoxious amount of money on it, I decided to rent it to see how I like it. Well, it has produced some amazing shots, but it is really hit or miss. I have to take a ton of shots and my success rate isn't as high as my old standard 50mm. Probably just takes some getting used to.
So, Miss Cara had NUMEROUS photoshoots this weekend. I don't think she minds too much, but sometimes she wonders why I hide behind this huge black plastic thing. She would also like to get her grubby paws on it, but we try to avoid that!
As you can see we had some fun with newspapers. Cara loves ripping up paper - we just have to watch her close because she also like to eat it.
In addition to pictures, we had dinner with Aunt Sarah and Uncle Tim, had some play time with Grandma and Grandpa McDonnell and went for a photoshoot with the Freve kids. But mostly, Mom and Cara just hung out and laughed as much as possible! Dada was also able to join in on some jokes! I think Cara did say Daddy - it really sounded like it. II may have mentioned before that, she really tries to say Baby - but it comes out like Daydee. It's pretty cute. She loves her baby dolls! But not as much as the Winnie the Pooh stuffed animal that her Uncle Paul (Hooper) got her. I really need to get a good photo with them together. She always chooses Winnie above all other and tries to say "WInnie" - it is a stretch, but you can tell she is trying!
Today was a milestone for Cara - She finally sat up from a lying position all by herself. Now, with daddy traveling for work, I am a bit nervous to leave her in her crib because the mattress isn't quite low enough. So, she may be sleeping in the big bed for a couple nights.
Back to work/day care tomorrow....it was fun while it lasted!
