211 of 365: Those wisps of over-the-ear hair are killing me with their cuteness!

212 of 365: I know...I take a lot of babywearing photos!  But that's my life now (and I totally love it), but I occasionally miss using phrases like "affective dysregulation" and talking about the "eigenvalues of a matrix" as a part of my daily conversation.

213 of 365: I made this portrait for the profile page of Susan, an event coordinator extraordinaire.  You can become a fan her via her Facebook page or you can visit her site directly.

214 of 365: Jelly beans and my itty bitty little finger.

215 of 365: These were so delicate, a soft and faded treatment seemed fitting.  I'm not loving my floral shots these days.

216 of 365: The rainbow fringe around the lavender leaves and the sunburst and flare were created by shooting at f/22 directly into the setting sun.

217 of 365: I wanted to continue the botanical theme by capturing the newly planted flowerbed...mostly because by morning, it will have become an open salad bar for the wild rabbits.  But I had a little visitor who popped into the frame.

 204 of 365: With eyes this pretty, who needs the rest of the face?  I cropped this intentionally to highlight the highlights, of her hair, that is.

205 of 365: Cute little monkey!

206 of 365: Something dark and moody to break up the monotony of all those child photos I so dearly love:

207 of 365: I totally dig the way mama and son are looking at each other, but that extra head blob from the errant child between them draws my eye way too much.  Still, I'm keeping it for the 365 because of the aforementioned mama-son gaze.  Plus, I find it odd that all these digital advancements are made to cameras and I spend all my time vintage-izing the result with fake noise and faded color.

208 of 365: My rampant vintage-ing strikes again!  I love his cowlick and the way he's sucking in his cheeks in total concentration.

209 of 365: Booooooring!

210 of 365: I wonder if having babies BEHIND their mamas looks odd to non-babywearers.

197 of 365: My boys went exploring in the mud with their galoshes.

198 of 365: Who doesn't love water play (even on a rainy day)?

199 of 365: I have a bunch of photos of this gal smiling at the camera and better composed so that she's not dead center in the frame.  And yet, the quietness of this one is my fave of the day.

200 of 365:  Meh.  I don't love this one.  But it's hard for me to love any images without at least one child somewhere in the frame.

201 of 365: Tulle and tootsies!  These belong to a girl who's less than 2 weeks old!

202 of 365: There's some quote about the best camera being the one that's with you.  Still, I can't believe I'm including this iPhone double rainbow snapshot.  But when I pulled over to the side of the road with both kids in the back, I only had my celly with me.  And in the end, I've still preserved the moment--so I guess that's a good thing.

203 of 365: I have got to stop reaching the end of the day and realizing that I have no 365 image yet.  I get desperate and randomly snap pics without much consideration.
