Photo Challenge

In May a few of my friends and I did a photo-a-day challenge on Instagram. It was so fun to see everyone's ideas and kids. Plus I have a blast coming up with silly hashtags. While these were not necessarily my most creative shots, they were some photos I wouldn't have taken otherwise and I guess that's the point. So, without further adieu... my month in photos: Day 1: Pajamas:

Day 2: Water:

Day 3: Lunch (this was taken on my lunch break- I was lucky enough to be able to come home EVERY day for lunch to see Elle after I went back to work)

Day 4: ball:

Day 5: shoes:

Day 6: Upside Down

Day 7: Bedroom (my favorite part of m kids rooms- the paintings we made for them)

Day 8: grumpy face:

Day 9: hairdo

Day 10: blankey (probably my favorite photo of the month) :

Day 11: Stuffed Animal:

Day 12: In a chair (seat of a car Gamma was pushing around)

Day 13: Mother's Day (I must add that it was Mother's Day 2012 that I heard this baby girl's heartbeat for the first time. We had a fetal monitor and was about 11 weeks pregnant at the time. I will never have a Mother's Day gift that tops that!) :

Day 23: Hat:

Day 24: Learning (to be on her belly):

Day 25: A friend (we were with our neighbor Taylor on this day and I FORGOT to take a photo! This was taken at the girl's first meeting. See how Elle grabbed Taylor's hand?):
