DGN Photography in Columbus, Ohio

On Memorial day, we had a family cookout thing to celebrate my husband’s birthday (which was actually today, May 29).  And on that day I took a bunch of pictures… at some point, I was very intrigued by the light coming through the bay window and hitting Vivi on one side of her face.

So I took a series that I call “side view baby in high chair” or maybe “baby smearing watermelon juice”.  Well this first one, I was playing with a shallow depth-of-field (that which makes the background go blurry).  I don’t remember what she was intrigued by…

And then, fun watermelon juice!  She was a watermelon fiend.  I have to chop the watermelon (and everything else) in bite size little bits, because she can bite huge hunks of things off with her 8 teeth, but has no molars to chew it once it’s in her mouth.  Here’s an interesting tidbit: she doesn’t like blueberries.  She’ll start to eat one, then spit the whole thing out.  We find that strange because the other 2 kids can eat a whole pint in one sitting between the two of them.

Oh and in honor of Daddy’s birthday, Vivi learned a lot of things today (she’s 10 months old).  She climbed up 3 stairs on her own (I have NOT been encouraging her to learn to climb stairs), she learned the sign for ‘milk’ (she also knows ‘all done’… I taught Maylie and Greg to do baby sign language when they were this age and older, it’s fun!).  She’s standing on her feet and one of these days is going to start walking, eep!!
