Mom's Special Picture Monday

I would like to take this time to share some of the cute photos I have taken this week of the children.  As you might remember, I used to link up to Mamarazzi Monday over at Anne Marie's blog Household 6 Diva.  I found out that she no longer will be doing this, though she has a new linky starting up called "Foto Friday."  Head on over to check it out.
I still consider myself one of the Mamarazzi, though this is her term.  I love picking up my camera and taking pictures of the children doing something special, getting into something, etc.
Here are some pictures I would love to share this week:

Hannah didn't quite like her new food

And what caused this reaction?

Avocado

(I think the baby food grinder didn't get it fine enough)

She gets very distracted while eating by things sitting next to her Bumbo.

And she has gotten very good at shredding/tearing paper

We found some really big (okay, huge) leaves on our walk around town. I can't believe I never realized how big these leaves grew.  Does anyone have any idea what they are?

Tabitha looks up to her big sister and likes to do things like her and with her.

playing music together (okay, Tabitha is using a dowel rod)

Mamarazzi Monday: October 18th, 2010

My baby turned 6 months old this past week!

The girls like to put bowls on their feet and walk

Guess they decided to be babies.

Tabitha is in Hannah's carseat and Amelia is in the stroller Hannah usually uses.

Time for Kidarazzi

Tabitha has been loving taking pictures lately

Realized the red tinge comes from her keeping her finger over the flash

Mamarazzi Monday: October 11th

I've actually been taking so many pictures of specific theme items for other challenges and pictures of our lesson time that I realized I haven't been taking as many pictures "just because", just because I see something cute that my little darlings have been up to.  So what that really means for you is a shorter post. Maybe.

Sunday we went to another Buffalo Bills game.

First they got their faces painted:

Then we watched...

Daddy play the trivia game

unfortunately he didn't win, though he had advanced to the last round.  His opponent was just quicker on the buzzer for the last question.

Then we went to the exotic animals exhibit.  They have been at the field house every week with different animals.

Tabitha had a good old time sticking her tongue out like a snake.

wish I could remember what kind of big feline that is.

This one's been here before.  I believe it is a python.

A photo of Billy Buffalo on a display of team spirit.

Tabitha won't let the real one near her.

Time for close up/whole picture

My little sweetie is becoming more mobile.  Not only does she roll, but she scootches backwards.

She found herself here:

Head on over to Household 6 Diva where Ann Marie hosts Mamarazzi Monday.

A bunch of photography

Time to share some of my obviously-not-professional photos taken recently.  This first group were taken for Scavenger Hunt Sunday.

 Water Droplet

Drip, drip, drip

Rain drops on leaves

 Bedhead

Good morning Amelia

Must I get up?

Daddy and his tie dyed shirt

 Eyes

She is always complimented on her long lashes.

Now for some photos I didn't go looking for, but the photo opportunities found me.

She said she was stuck.  I was holding the baby and couldn't get her unstuck.  I called her brother down from his room.  By the time he got there she had effortlessly gotten herself free.  Stinker!

After the week of posting a sign for the You Capture challenge, I realized I had plenty of signs to choose from.  So I went to the park and took a few.  I really liked this one.

Poor Grandpa.  Will they ever visit again?

Trying to get a good picture of Hannah's feet for the Feet challenge for Perceptive Perspective.  Then I realized I was too late.  But wanted to share anyway.

Tabitha's toes after her first sleepover.

Tabitha found this butterfly in the yard and caught it.  This is Amelia holding it.

Thought this was adorable!

This week's theme for You Capture, hosted by Beth over at I Should Be Folding Laundry, is FLOWERS:

We noticed a bunch of pretty flowers over by the park fence at the back of our yard.  This is where Tabitha left the butterfly we took pictures of and I shared above.  I thought they would be pretty for the challenge.

Loved her flower dress being added to the background
