Sunday's photo. January week 1.

I have decided to make a little photography goal for me this year.
Last year, I really tried to do the 365 photos project
but my gosh, it was a lot of work and I just quit.

I really want to document Lydia consistently.
I hear that they change the most during their 2nd year as children
so wouldn't it be cool to have a weekly update to look back on during this year?

I chose every Sunday because that is a day I know
I will consistently have time to photograph her.

Not every Sunday is going to have a perfect picture
and she most likely won't want to cooperate some days
during these toddler years.
I will just have to expand my creativity those days to document her!

She did give me a great first week of pictures though.
Watch out for a full range of expressions.






 I gave her hair a little cut myself on Saturday night.
It was looking way too mullet-ish for me.
Very long in the back and not enough bangs in front.
I looked at her hair in the bath and decided to snip it myself.
A little voice inside me tried telling me to stop and let a professional do it
but I just kept trimming away.
Now she has a little bob cut.
Of course it isn't perfect.
But I don't think I did half bad!
Let's hope she has my crazy fast hair growing genes now
and it grows back evenly before I know it.

I love this idea! It's so fun to see how children grow and change and the 2nd year truly is a big changing year. I fully hope to see some uncooperative pictures along the way though! Those independent little ones sure call the shots from now on but it definitely makes for some hilarious stories.

(Maybe they're most hilarious to me because I'm just an aunt - perhaps being the mom might make the rebellion a little less adorable but all the same - I can't wait to see how this project turns out!)

Love the pictures. You are very brave to cut her hair. I tried cutting Carter's hair once and I gave him steps that made him look like he was straight out of the
80's. Good job on the cut!!!

I think you did a great job cutting her hair! And what a cute idea for the pictures! You will love that you did it later. I wondered about last years project ;) At least you tried! I am getting so behind in blogging! Augh! I hate that!

I love that you cut her hair yourself! Good luck with her having your genes!! I have been praying that Brynlee has mine too but she doesn't!! She has some random person's hair. Who knows?? Lydia sure is a cutie though.
