From Eliana's Point of View

She likes to take pictures on my camera. Her recent art:

Little Piggy

I have a million other posts waiting to be written. I still need to blog Christmas, the fun we had with the Elf, and I have a post saved but not published with a list of funny things the kids have recently done/said. And I never even blogged Celo's birthday. Did I blog Halloween? I don't even know. I have slacked off.

So this year I'm not going to do what I did last year and make a giant list of resolutions that I probably won't keep. But I am a goal helper. I can't help it. So I do have some goals. Marcelo and I made a list on our own and also a list of "family goals" with the kids. The best one on the list was Celo's: "Have lots of Love." Too cute. And then he was a holy terror the next day. Such is life.

One of my personal goals is to do more photography just for me. I love love love taking pictures for other people, but in the busy photography months, I barely take pictures of my own kids. I also want to push myself to try different techniques and just all around have fun with photography. So I'm participating in a Project 52, where I have to take one picture per week. This week's theme was silhouette. I'm in love with the shot I took for it. I put Camila in her first ever pigtails and sat Eliana next to her (in pigtails, too). I probably took 40 shots of them like this, but this one was the winner because both pigtails were visible and as a bonus, Camila was pulling Eliana's hair like she always does. I can't get enough of looking at those tiny little piggy tails!!

Do you need to see them from the front? Ok. Here you go. She has enough hair on top for pigtails and then underneath it's pretty much bald, haha! How is she already 5 months old?? She's growing so fast. It's wonderful and heartbreaking at the same time.
