Week 12 - Angles/Multicolored

I need to be upfront and honest... I waited until the last minute again this week. This is totally something I need to change. Sunday rolls around and .. "OH SHIT!!! I haven't done my challenge this week yet!!" Then I proceed to bring up my blog and look to see what my theme is for the week. Awesome.. I don't even know the theme. I try to always look at the theme the week before as I am posting and start thinking of ideas. When I did this last week, let's just say I started thinking of ideas that included Angels.. because... well.. my brain isn't that sharp on Sunday nights. Let me tell you, those images in my head were going to be pretty difficult to pull off. Luckily, the theme was Angles, totally different. Not sure why I say 'Luckily' because I still couldn't think of anything. Therefore, the multicolored theme dominates my image for the week! Didn't pay any attention to it last Sunday, but when I revisited today, it clicked: Our new playroom floor!!!

We recently decided to turn our formal dining room into a playroom for Avery. It was such a hard decision seeing as we have had one meal in that room in the last.. 2.5 years! So we bought a floor for it and started the transformation. Avery loves the floor and loves to sit there and scratch at it. Apparently the texture is just the coolest thing in the world. The floor is also, you guessed it, multicolored!! To keep in tune with my trying to fit both themes into one week, I took a shot of Avery from two different angles (not angels.) Kind of boring but, it works.

In this process, I have also decided that I am no longer going to try to edit out Avery's slobber. I don't call it 'drool' because it's equivalent to the amount a St. Bernard may mess your clothes up with. It's the phase she is at in her life right now, so, why edit it out? Plus, it's in every picture and I just don't have that kind of time!! So, here she is, slobber and all!!

Avery and I also did our 7 month photo shoot this week. I can NOT believe this tiny person is already 7 months. I also can't believe how much easier it was to shoot her and get great faces with her being able to sit up on her own. I just had to post this because I love this face, it makes me laugh! And, of course, I love those little feet and the fact that she is so in love with them, too!
