We went to a wonderful little splash pad in Richardson the other day.
It was FREE, and such a nice reprieve from the usual hot outdoor activities here.
There were 3 other babies and their mommies from our playgroup, and it was fun to photograph all of them.
I've been trying to shoot in manual mode lately, but for these I just put my camera on the "sport" mode - which basically equates to a really fast shutter (1/1200), aperture of f/5.6, and fairly low ISO (400). It was a nice, overcast day - so most of the lighting was indirect, but it was still nice and bright.
Lucy has begun signing in the last couple weeks! She signs "milk" and "bath" and "diaper" and "more" with some consistency. She's also added the words "uh-oh" and "up" to her vocabulary. She still doesn't say "mama," but she says "dada" whenever Daniel comes home in the evenings.
She's also begun making humming noises whenever she plays with a car or truck on the floor - it is super cute! She also makes the humming noise when we go for a ride in the wagon (Vrum--mmm--mmm).
One of my favorite things to see her do is to walk up close to the laptop and stand about a foot away from it - and then she starts shaking her head (she knows "no touch" for the computer). She also shakes her head no when she is obviously considering throwing food from her seat. Sometimes she throws the food anyways (and then vehemently shakes her head no when we say, "no throw").
I was so excited to buy her shoes for the first time the other day - but I'll post on that soon.
I especially love the one where she looks all serious, like she's surfing or something!
