She lost her first tooth today. Seriously. She lost it.

She pulled it. She gave it to mommy. She asked for it back. She lost it. It’s somewhere between the living room and her bedroom.

Week 32 Aug 6 – Aug 12

I think the moment was lost on her:

Emma: I keep swinging it in circles and when I stop it keeps going in circles.
John: Emma, I believe you’ve discovered Newton’s Third Law of Motion!
Emma: Can you cut this ribbon off of this for me?

Late Update: I think maybe she knew I was wrong. I think it should have been Newton’s First Law of Motion. Although if she knew I was wrong, she would have told me so.

Emma’s Birthday at the Austin Children’s Museum: Emma got all shy when the kids started singing happy birthday. It was very very cute, and very very sweet. What I especially appreciated was asking her when we got home how she felt when everyone sang happy birthday, and having her say she felt shy. I think “self conscious” is actually what she was feeling, but let’s not quibble over a word, eh?

Take one part cupcake batter, two parts 5 y/o assiting mommy in the kitchen, mix in some beater licking and a dash of can’t stand still-itis with a shallow depth of field, and you get photos that are not quite in focus…so they need to be given the old B&W treatment. And then a little iPhoto Antique treatment on top of that.

Project 365: Aftermath of Baking

Emma at the Austin Children’s Museum: This was for a classmate’s party at the museum. All the kids really seemed to love it. Emma too!

Father & Daughter:  I took this photo with a white backdrop behind the couch in the living room, but which photographed sort of a dingy gray. So I over-processed the ever living stuffin’ out of the shot to turn it into a high key photo.
