I got the camera out and tried to get some pictures of Ira in the beautiful sunlight this weekend. I need to brush up on getting the settings right to capture the light, most of them ended up a little overexposed. I decided to see what I could do with Picasa's online photo editing software, picnik. I was impressed with the range and flexibility they give you for editing with their free version. I'm too cheap right now to pay for their premier offering. Here is what I ended up with, you can see the originals in our
2011 album.
The number one comment we get on Ira is along the lines of, 'His eyes are so beautiful and blue'.
I love the apple juice drool rolling off the bottom of his chin.
New things Ira has been doing:
- Babbling long strings of sounds that are almost sound like words.
- Relaxing in his high chair when we feed him with one leg up.
- Walking whenever he can, he's really getting the hang of it.
- Putting food in containers, like bowls, then holding a fork or spoon and smashing the food in the bowl.
- Getting more teeth
