Spencer’s 19th Month Day. In pictures.

Do you remember when I did the day in phone photos? It was super fun and I planned on doing it again. And then I was stumped as to what to do to celebrate Spencer surviving being 19 months. 19 is a big one! He is leaving his month-teens. Inspiration struck! I would document his 19 month day hour-by-hour. NO WAIT. I would document what he did during the hour, too. With 4 pictures for every hour in cute little quad collages. I would be a mom blogger supreme, with tomatoes AND sour cream. As it turns out, it’s a huge pain in the butt. So, enjoy my suffering. (The captioned hour is just the start of the pictured hour. Unless, I secretly conquered the space time continuum. Obviously.)

Week (Lucky 13) in Phone Photos

So… this week it kind of looks like a photo app threw up all over my blog. But, hey, I was testing things out. I love the new droid app I found, Vignette. As per usual, it isn’t day by day, but more like activity by activity. Spencer had a very busy and exciting week.

He had to wake up and rock some serious bedhead before the adventures could begin.

On a sunny day, we went to the park.

Rainy day adventures at the mall playground.

Day trip to the snow!

Followed by a trip to our favorite Mexican place.

I almost never park my car in the garage myself, but I was raining so I thought I would give it a shot. Nailed it. First try.

Amy at A Good Life Blog hosts the linky every week; head on over there to grab the code.

Project 365 Days 50-56

February 19-25th

Day 50

Spencer manages to find the tiniest specks of standing water. He will be handy if I am ever lost in the desert. We drained the fountain at the end of the summer when the water became to cold to play in, but forgot to empty it again after the last rain.

Day 51

This is one of those times where the awesome randomness of toddlerhood trumps photography. He shuffled across the room in these makeshift shoes of his own creation.

Day 52

This week was seriously all about the moments, not the shot. I looked over and there he was making a little tower. This is actually his second one; he had already knocked one down and was rebuilding by the time I grabbed my camera.

Day 53

Yes, Suzanne, we went looking for snow, however ridiculous you may think we are. It is an adventure. There were so many pictures from this, it was hard to pick. So I let hubs do it. I actually love the picture below, but he took it and I thought that knocked it out of contention for p365.

Day 54

Show me your button. SHOW ME YOUR BUTTON!

Day 55

I took a billion pictures at the park for the shapes post and this picture just cracks me up. He is trying so hard to climb this thing, but he just can not figure it out. He gets both feet on the bottom bar and then puts his foot through. Every.single.time.

Day 56

I think this the first time I used a phone picture for p365. I must say, it looked better on the phone. I am still figuring out the new apps on my phone and I was surprised to see how blurry this was once I saw it bigger. I jumped the gun, too, because I took the following picture later that night. (I can start switching after the fact or I would be endlessly swapping. I force myself to stick with my first choice.)

Spare a Click?

Because I am ridiculous and it seemed like a good idea at the time, I decided to list the blog on Picket Fence Blogs last night. It may bring out my annoyingly competitive side, but I promise not to beg for votes, all that often. But, out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on the most and least annoying way to ask for votes. I find the blog posts (like this one) to be the most annoying, followed by facebook, followed by tweeting the link. Using twitter doesn’t really bug me at all, in fact, I tend to click. Plus, Picket Fence has the added bonus of only needing one click unlike the super complicated Top Baby Blogs, which takes TWO clicks. Geez.

So, if you feel like helping a girl out, click the button below. There is a button over on the right sidebar, too. You can click everyday. And you should. Because I am awesome. And not at all annoying.
