Day 58: Feeding the dog

Today was a special treat since I left the baby gate down and let them come in the office.  We weren’t feeling well enough to go to the park, but they get bored with the same old parts of the house.  I needed to do some cleaning anyhow, so this worked out well.

Whenever Cooper notices Scout’s bowl is empty, he insists on feeding her.  There is no room for me to take pictures at a good angle, but I’m glad I was able to get a few good ones.

And when she wouldn’t eat the food he put in her bowl, he picked up a handful of food.

Charlotte enjoyed some coloring

They both enjoyed some Handy Manny on the computer

Day 57: Like mommy, like daddy

Charlotte and I are both sick…we got lucky and got whatever Cooper had.  I don’t feel awful, but I’m definitely not 100%.  So far, my husband has been spared.

Charlotte didn’t eat dinner tonight and instead sat on watched all of us.

Then she zonked out.  I love how sweet they look when they’re sleeping.  I rarely can get photos when they’re like this because it wakes them up.

Cooper is back 100% (minus his runny nose and cough).  He thoroughly enjoyed dinner.  He ate all of his and then all of Charlotte’s dinner!

First he squished his hands all over in the spaghetti…

Then he thought it was hysterical to clap and spray the sauce all over daddy.

After cleaning up and while waiting for daddy to put Charlotte to bed, he got to enjoy some special time in the office with mommy.  We don’t usually let them in the office because they are bit destructive and it’s also not toddler-proofed.

Like Daddy.

Like Mommy

Day 56: Bye mommy (with hats)

They are loving daddy’s hats these days and now have to have a hat on to say bye to me.  This picture was a quick snapshot and I didn’t have time to get Charlotte to look at me.  Oh well!

 

 

 

And just for fun to give a different look to the photos:  Pioneer Woman Seventies action (modified).  I like the vintage look on this.

 

 

 

And Coffeeshop Vivid Urban.  I like the harder look to this…it makes the dirt on the baby gate look like it’s there on purpose.

Edit Challenge

Edited for another mother.  All she asked was to remove the foot.  Editing is so much easier with a really great photo to start with. 

Original

Edit 1 was just to remove the foot.

Edit 2 was how I would edit if it were my photo.  I got rid of the closet doors and door frame and made it all a white background.  Then I adjusted levels, curves, and color balance.  I added a light vignette and did a modified Coffeeshop Perfect Portrait action.  (The only thing I don’t like is that his face is now a little blown out)

Edit 3 was turning the photo black and white using a modified Coffeeshop Creamy Chocolate B&W.  I really love this version.
