30 Days of You and Me: Day Nine

Today's theme is "a photo I took." Well I can't participate in that. I don't ever take pictures.

HA!!

I am (clearly) not trained in photography, but I do like to play around with it. And every now and then, I take one I like. It may not be technically perfect (or even good!) but I like it.

This is one of my most favorite ever pictures....and I can't believe I managed to take it myself!

That's Liam. He's from the family who let me come to all their childbirths. All four of them. So I met him literally at breath one. And while I love all the nieces and nephews that have adopted me into their lives, Liam and I have a pretty special bond. Can't explain it. It's just there.



I took that picture the first time I ever watched him all by himself. (He has an older sister, so normally I had both of them if I happened to be sitting for the family.) That day, his parents took his sister to a party, and I got Liam all to myself. Or is it he got me all to himself? We played and then he was ready for a snack, and then...zzzzzz. He was too precious to put down, so I just rocked him while he slept, and I captured that.


That picture was taken a few years ago. He's grown up now:

I took that one too. Not quite as impressive. But I love it. Still my buddy!
