Mama, Take a Picture!

May 19, 2014 44 Comments

Something I’ve been hearing a lot lately is, “Mama! Take a Picture!”  Which, in toddler, sounds more like “peekture.”  With Red’s newfound fascination with the camera, I want to oblige his small requests.  What I end up with is a smattering of photos that make up his world; things that he focuses on, that he sees and that matter to him.  When put into a collection, it’s quite nice! 
Red’s Blankie makes a regular appearance in his photos:
 As do his Cars, Octonauts and any balloons that make their way into the house.  This particular car was bought for Red by up and coming Racecar Driver Chris Buescher!

 His Uncle Preston bought him a Hulk costume for his birthday, and Red demanded that I “take a picture, Mama” of him “Hulk smashing…“

 Another important element in Red’s life? His “big boy cup.”  We’ve been pleading with him to try a straw that wasn’t a sippy cup for what seems like forever.  I suppose that he is very proud of this, as yesterday he asked me to help him take a picture of “my drink“:
Sometimes, Red wants a picture of himself, and when we were at Aunt Sally’s college graduation on Sunday, Red wanted just that.  In the shade by the Magnolia tree, which was too perfect.  I snapped a few quick shots, and this was one of them. Photo for the win!
 And, of course, a few silly selfies never hurt, either!
My most favorite part was when I caught the entire ordeal on film instead of a still shot.  I tricked Red a little bit into asking for a picture and “shooting” what he wanted… I find it so sweet and a perfect example of one of our photo sessions: (Click here if you can’t see the video)
What have you captured on camera lately?

    What a sweet post! My son already knows how to take selfies. He puts the phone out as far as it can go and smiles. He just needs to learn how to hit the button to take the picture. πŸ˜‰

    Ah, he’s so cute! My little guy (age 2.5) has recently wanted me to take more pictures of him. And he loves the forward-facing camera on my phone.

    So cute! I love fun and candid photos with my boys, too. The posed ones seemed super boring compared to the spontaneous ones. Red is totally adorable, by the way!

    When my daughter was a toddler, I constantly had the video camera on. I used to get so frustrated when she would stop doing what she was doing (and what I was trying to video tape) so she could insist on “upsi-down” – meaning she wanted me to flip the viewing screen over so she could see it. I kick myself now every time I hear the frustration in my voice on those videos.

    How cool. I’d love to be an ambassador. I’m already the “Major” lol, on foursquare, but I know that doesn’t count. I love our local Chick-fil-a, everyone is always so nice and the food speaks for itself. Congrats on your ambassadorship.

    My kids are obsessed with pictures these days too. They want to see every single picture before I even have a chance to take it. Most of them are blurs because they’re running to me to see the picture as I’m taking it! LOL!

    Chick-fil-a lemonade is my favorite drink! I haven’t tried the new grilled chicken sandwich yet, but I’ve had some of the salads and the buffalo chicken.

    My children like posing for photos making crazy faces that I am sure they will be embarrassed about people seeing a few years from now.
