Walking Continued... and School!

Cailin has officially scared herself off walking without help. She won't walk by herself anymore except for a few short steps between furniture or to me from her walker toy. The walker seemed like a bad idea when I bought it, but it's become Cailin's freedom in house. She walks everywhere with it and can maneuver it around corners, toys and other obstacles. She chases Bailey with it and laughs and shrieks when cruising around. Poor Cailin has a bit of a cold so it was declared a pajama day and we don't plan on going anywhere today, except maybe the movie store.

Exciting news! I got accepted into the Black and White Film Photography course. I've been to two classes so far and I love it. Yesterday found me outside quickly shooting my first roll of film in the park and other places around the city. Next week we get to process film in the dark room and I'm both excited and nervous to get started.

Today I got out the digital camera (instant gratification!) and tried to apply what I've learned in class to photos I took around the house. I decorated these letters to spell Cailin's name for her room.
I love Cailin's room. I worked hard on it in March and can't wait to put out her big girl bedding (Hello Kitty) because it matches perfectly with the paint colors I chose. Cailin loves to play in her room. It's right off the kitchen so I can keep an eye on her.
I took over 50 pictures this morning trying to apply the rules. That's easy enough to do with landscapes because your subject doesn't move, but Cailin is sure wiggly. Wonder if they have any advice on how to keep your 14 month old to stay still?
I hope she starts feeling better really soon. Also? I gave her bangs a trim. They are pretty straight-ish. It grows back right?
