This week's entry at I Heart Faces is "Whimsical" I am entering a photo of my little Whimsical Fairy. She loves to smell flowers and 8 months ago she loved to tear them apart, now she knows to only smell them.

Motherhood-I Heart Faces

This weeks theme at I Heart Faces is Motherhood. After almost 20 years of marriage I finally became a mother. It is the job that I hold dearest. We got our daughter at 7 months old and became her legal parents this past November just before she turned 2. I did not have any photos of other mothers and their babies or even one of myself so I used a photo of my daughter being "Mommy" to her baby. My daughter is a super picky eater and we praise her when she tries something new. In this photo she is feeding her baby and telling her "good job eating, baby" When I watch my daughter play I see in her roll play where I have done a good job mothering or I see an area that needs improvement. She is a good little mommy to her babies. Click on the camera below to see other Motherhood photos.

I Heart Faces- Soft and Sweet

I absolutely love this photo. When we first adopted Katie our cat Miah wanted nothing to do with her. Slowly as the months past I guess she began to realize that Katie was a part of the family and she might as well get use to it. Not only did she get use to it she now loves Katie and will snuggle with her. This is one of a series that I snapped that night starting with Katie sharing her "dinky dink'(small blanket) with Miah to Katie taking her hat off and finally Katie sharing her hat with the cat. I am pretty sure that Miah does not like hats, but Katie thought it was fun. Click on the camera below to see other "Soft and Sweet" photos.

Sun Flare: I Heart Faces

This weeks challenge is "Sun Flare". This was one of those days that I wished I had my nice camera but I didn't so I used my cell phone to capture this shot. As much as I would love to recapture this moment with a nice camera it will not happen, I might can get something close but not this exact moment. She was having the time of her life. Of the photos I took this is not my favorite but it is the one that has her face showing or at least a part of her face. The others are of her walking up the hill to pick my flowers.

I Heart Faces-Anything But Faces

This weeks challenge is Anything but faces. I really like this idea because it is what I did when we first got out daughter but wasn't allowed to post photos of her yet. So I posted photos of body parts: hand, curl, foot, etc. The photo I chose is not from those but one of her now a year and a half later doing one of her favorite things, reading. She LOVES books so I thought this would be appropriate. Click on the camera below to see other great photos of Anything but faces.

Cell Phone Photo Contest at I Heart Faces

This weeks contest is Cell Phone photograpy. I struggled to figure out what photo I would use because I have taken so many over the past year. I finally decided on the one with my daughter putting on makeup. I was in the other room and realized that it suddenly got real quiet. So I went to find her and caught her in the bathroom standing on a stool and putting on make up. She had the funniest look on her face. I thought it was adorable. I took this with the Motorola Droid and edited in Photoshop express. Click on the camera below to see more cell photo photos.
