This is my week in photos. Which is part of collecting my year in photos – yep, one photo a day for the whole of 2012!!! I am doing super at taking all the shots, so far… but I am very behind on the processing and uploading which is leaving me a little stressed :( But trying to remember that I am doing this for me, because it is fun… and it is! And I am learning so much, as this project continues to push me to see more, see deeper, see differently…
Here is week 17
Day 116
My lovely new duds, sent over from auntie Izzy who bought them especially in India :D
The beautiful baby-E making another guest appearance:
day 117
This photo so does not do justice to this lovely mother-daughter pair of fun friends:
day 118
taking out the trash. Finally mommy lets me do some big girl chores!
day 119
practicing my kung fu moves at the dojo. She doesn’t actually do martial arts but her daddy does so any chance she can she likes to play ninja, too!
day 120
flying:
‘… and then the teddy took a rocket and flew to the moon… or was it a really big crane?’
That rare thing, a mother-daughter portrait. So rare indeed that I am totally willing to overlook the fish -I’m-in-the-middle-of-talking face I’ve got going on here. It is still cute. This was at a lovely picnic with some lovely friends :)
Day 121
Through the leaves:
Day 122
Pooped and ready for a nap.
I’ve started keeping a record of some of my fave Nica quotes to add into these photo-posts. This day she said: “I want to go to Andy Z’s house and knock on his door and say ‘surprise’ ” [Andy Z is a local children's musician who Nica loves and has been 'chanelling'/prettending to be for several weeks now - since she stopped being Old MacDonald. The transition was seemless]. I calmly explained that we couldn’t do that. That is called ‘stalking’.

Your photos are just exquisite. Thank you so much for joining us. I hear you on the self-portraits! I’m hardly ever in photos!
Yep… to the point that I am beginning to wonder whether, since photos are such a big part of building/locking-in memories from this time-period, she will grow up to believe daddy was here more or more fun, simply because he is in so many more photos (taken by me, of course). I have even started saying, when we see photos of her ‘and remember, mommy was right there, taking the photo and smiling at you’ – sad, I know… ahahahaha!
