This challenge comes from MCP Actions. You can follow her on Instagram and participate each month. There is a theme she posts each month for the challenge.
During my ClickADay challenge, I used my iPhone. This time, I'll be using my Nikon D7100.
UPDATE: I unexpectedly gave birth on 8/5 & my older son was admitted to the hospital for fevers of unknown origin. So.. I wasn't as focused on this project. I stopped after the 4th. But then I decided to try and finish it after the month was over... so i'm looking for photos I took on the corresponding dates since I had my camera with me.... This will be interesting!
Day 1 - Something that Grows: You guessed it! A pregnant belly! :)
Day 2 - Something that Shrinks: My savings account. This is a piggy bank my hubby made as a child.
Day 3 - Something that Jumps: I took a chance and used a "Jumper Cable" held by my son
Day 4 - Something that Flies: A Nerf Dart. It took me several times to catch this shot. Those things shoot out fast!
Day 5 - Something Huge: I had to have an emergency C-Section @ 34 weeks. So that was something "Huge" & unexpected!
Day 6 - Something Small: My husband holding our little (small) 5 lb baby.
Day 7 - Something Quiet: The hallway in the hospital at night. I spent a lot of my time walking (or wheeled) through these hospital halls from the recovery room to see my baby in the NICU & my 4 year old in Pediatrics (yes, my other baby was in the hospital too) :(
Day 8 - Something Loud: This machine beeped really loudly if the wires get disconnect from the baby in the NICU. It was annoyingly loud.
Day 9 - Something Far Away: My kids (all 3 of them) seemed so far away from me :( My oldest & youngest was in the hospital with me but we were all on different floors. My middle son was with my in laws. I don't know if this counts since I handed the camera to my hubby. We were strolling around the pediatrics floor while with my oldest and 2nd who came to visit with my in laws.
Day 10 - Something Closeup: Little brother visited and wanted to hug big brother. I guess they always got a "closeup" view of each other. I was very limited this month with photos. :P
Day 11 - Colorful: The swaddle blankets in the hospital has colorful edges. I actually like the blue and red or ?pink? combo :) it was super faded.
Day 12 - Playful: Playful baby talk with his baby (daddy barely got to see him because he spent all his time with big brother in Pediatrics).
Day 13 - Artistic: Okay - this one is tough. Let's just say playing with props is artistic lol. Give me a break!
Day 15 - Simple: Crocheting this preemie hat. None of the ones I made fit him since he was early. This was so simple, I finished it while I nursed him.
Day 16 - Sticky: Dry newborn lips. They stuck together between feedings.
Day 17 - Sweet & Salty: I really have nothing this day :(
Day 18 - Fuzzy: Seeing all the love with my boys make me warm and fuzzy.
Day 19 - Fluffy: My new comforter is soft & fluffy :) Being silly with our son who is still ill :(
Day 20 - Silky: My hair looks so silky. HAHA Okay, now I'm just making stuff up. Why not?
Day 21 - This Makes Me Happy: I can't believe I didn't take any photos with my Nikon this day :(
Day 22 - Can't Live Without: My baby (I completely forgot about these monthly stickers!). I don't have one of all my babies... but I can't live without my boys (including hubby).
Day 23 - My Hobby is... : Obviously it's photography. But I also love to crochet, scrapbook, sew, DIY projects... too many!
Day 24 - A Place I Love: Home. It's where memories are made such as the first bath for my newborn. The whole family was there (even though they are not in the photo). Big brothers were gathered around watching :)
Day 25 - A View I Cherish: No photos this day either :(
Day 26 - A Taste I Like: I LOVE my husband's burgers! I had to dig into my iPhone Photos for this one which I wasn't supposed to do...
Day 27 - A Favorite Object: I have nothing :( But I will complete this!
Day 28 - This Makes Me Smile...: He's looking straight at me so alert...
Day 29 - This Makes Me Laugh..: I really did laugh out loud.. each time I stroked his cheeks, he smiled.
Day 31 - This Motivates Me...: This kid motivates me. He is always so determined. He can't reach the pedals & can barely reach the floor but he's always so determined.. he can get around by pushing & "walking" on his tippy toes. You should see him get into his own high chair lol
Whew! It's not how I wanted to finish this month's challenge but I really didn't want to abandon it... so what if I didn't have a photo for every day but that's okay with me. I may not have done the challenge everyday but I didn't give up taking photos.
