How KDiggy Rolls: Shutterbug

Before I update you all on the hap-hap at Casa Jackson, I must tell you about my newest talent that I am focusing on quite regularly these days.

Photography.

(self-portrait)

Below is just a smattering of the hundreds (truly - hundreds) of photos I have taken.

Sidenote - any blur you may perceive is likely due to the condition of your own eyes. The cause is definitely not due to any error on the part of the photographer. You might want to get your eyes checked actually... Just sayin'.

To ensure quality staging and light, I enlisted an assistant. And then quickly documented him working. Here, he is setting up our subjects.

Group shot of my beloved stuffed dogs. Take notice of Puppies (proper name) in the back. He was being quite uncooperative during this session, so he was banished from being part of the group.

Is it lonely back there? Bet you're sorry now, eh, Puppies??

And the money shot. Mr. Lemur.

Before I put too many of my wares on display lest someone take them as their own, I'll move on...

I trust that everyone had a wonderful time celebrating the birth of America. We certainly did by running around a lush backyard with lots of overhanging branches, leaves, and tall grasses and wielding the longest sparklers I have ever seen.

Also got some quality time on the ol' slip-n-slide.

Daddy threw Sully down it too, but he was not exactly overjoyed as his rapidly moving - and protesting - body flew down the wet plastic. Here he is regaining composure. And also showing us his one tiny tooth as he is very proud of it.

After Daddy worked to calm his frazzled (and rather sissified) nerves, Sully eventually recovered.

In other news, the landscape of our house has been dramatically altered over the past few months. How, you ask?

First of all, Sully and I have found a couple of mutually beneficial ways of playing together.

Not bad, right?

It's right about here that I think Sully began to develop a baby hernia... But you'll notice that I am still having a fabulous time!

He also has gotten into pushing cars around which is awesome. I lead, he follows. Never fails. I can even lead him into the pantry or a closet where I can then close the door on him and declare him captured in "baby jail." I think that this game is wonderful, whereas Mom and Sully tend to disagree.

Oh - this is a slightly ironic picture since Sully has about 100 hairs total on his head. Except for the back where he had a luscious mullet growing that was nails! Until Mom chopped it off. Now he just looks like a normal, non-rednecky, little boy.
