More Closeups

Eating together:

I like how the sky adds a little hint of drama to the picture but wish I knew how to get rid of the power lines in the background

JB_20090512_0511

Just to mix it up a little bit a, *shock*, non-baby or family photo.  Pretty cool artichoke thing.

Back to de rigeur with Calla starting to show a little boredom with me taking photos.

One of my favorite photos of the little girl:

A little different but still quite cute:

Baby Series

Come on you think I am going to take photos of anything else for a while?

The forbidden fruit, aka tv:

Dad realizing that he is being watched:

Reading to the little girl as she falls asleep:

I still think watching her eat is my favorite.

Not sure if this is good or not:

Starting to dig it:

Moving Day

The truck rolled in and needed to be emptied so I became designated photographer for the day to avoid any sort of labor.  DA drove out with Kip and helped unload the truck which astounds me.  I can’t think of many friends I would do that for.

I managed to catch a few good shots while avoiding work.

DA showing Calla the sights in the morning:

Having a beer to celebrate the empty truck:

Mom and child:

Very happy to have finished with the truck:

JB_20090510_0034

Just mom:

JB_20090510_0039

Thinking about actually unpacking the boxes now that the truck is empty:

Aunt and child:

DA thinking about getting roped in to unpacking the boxes:

Me happy to have avoided so much work:

Walking Around With The Little Girl

She was strapped to my back the majority of the time so not a lot of shots of her but the one I was able to get it one of my favorites so far:

JB_20090509_0092

Later in the day reading on the floor:

JB_20090509_0173

I also caught Eileen licking her lips in preparation for the food.  Obviously we starve them as shown by the flipped over bowls:

JB_20090509_0049

While walking around for three hours with the little one passed out on my back I did get some cool city shots.

Straight out of the dust bowl:

A left over apple:

JB_20090509_0133

Blue sky and wires.  I like the random devices on the bottom of the pole:

Red mill wall hangings:

Doing her best Bill Murray impression:

A slightly more traditional show of her looking out:

JB_20090508_0016

And down:

JB_20090508_0020

Smiling girl:

JB_20090508_0073

And a close up:

JB_20090508_0079

I do like the shots of a single eye:

JB_20090508_0007

Looking happy:

JB_20090508_0106

And looking tired:

JB_20090508_0114

Finally a eating series as she is very cute when eating:

JB_20090508_0182

Not sure about the banana:

JB_20090508_0185

Looking for some assurance:

JB_20090508_0186

Taking a monster bite:

JB_20090508_0188

And really not thrilled with the taste:

Watching The Baby For A Day

And taking lots of shots of the other babysitter.  These are a little less processed than the last batch as I think I might have gone a little overboard on the developing.  Let me know what you think.

This is a pretty sweet sequence (using the multiple meanings).  Calla giving a little sugar (read, face lick) to her Grandfather.

Addressing the situation:

Going in for the lick:

JB_20090506_0153

Establishing contact and kind of grossing out Grandpa:

JB_20090506_0156

And in close up:

JB_20090506_0159

Still a happy Grandfather:

JB_20090506_0178

We finally got a little help from Yachi who was dealing with a slightly spazzy niece:

JB_20090506_0322

And hanging out next to her:

JB_20090506_0329

Trying to feed little miss can sometimes be a little bit of a struggle but at least it is always fun.

Hiding her face to avoid the food:

JB_20090506_0517

Looking a little less than enthused with the food options:

JB_20090506_0473

Really not liking being cleaned:

JB_20090506_0012

Looking a little pensive:

JB_20090506_0451

Finally deciding to eat a little:

JB_20090506_0460

And really getting into it:

JB_20090506_0529

Especially now that she knows she has an audience:

JB_20090506_0524

Giving a little baseball signal:

JB_20090506_0009

And eating the rest of her food:

JB_20090506_0532

To keep her busy Grandpa came up with a slide sort of system.

Her is the girl getting ready to ride:

JB_20090506_0053

And Grandpa pulling her:

JB_20090506_0061

A close up of him:

JB_20090506_0076

Back to the single shots (for the most part).  I like this backlight shot quite a bit:

JB_20090506_0283

And little girl sharing her shoe:

JB_20090506_0099

Looking a little petulant in her profile:

JB_20090506_0128

Playing in the mirror:

JB_20090506_0137

Looking out the window:

JB_20090506_0208

Little girl with quite a stare:

JB_20090506_0228

And drinking a little water:

JB_20090506_0186

Ok one last little series with Grandpa:

JB_20090506_0293

Hanging out:

JB_20090506_0299

Early in the morning before work where she fell asleep a little on her Uncle’s lap:

JB_20090506_0446  

And a parting shot of Grandpa feeding her:
