Pushing my Buttons!

So, an annoying thing happened the other day, and it is messing around with my photo organization! And if you know me, you know that although I am a slob compared to my family, I really like certain things to be organized… pretty much anything that has to do with my creativity needs to be exactly where I put it and in the order I want it to go. Not normal by any stretch of the imagination for an artist, I know, but everything else can pretty much be organized in a less strict manner.

Back to the point, a little over a week ago, on our vacation with Kim and Ryan to the Bergman Family’s amazing lake house, my camera had reached photo # DSCN9999. And a few things happened:

1 – It rolled over and started counting photos at 0001 again.

2 – I was a little shocked that I had actually reached over 10,000 (THOUSAND!) photos! SERIOUSLY!?!? Woah! I must take a lot of photos! *grin*

3 – It totally messed up my organization of my photos, since I ‘Sort’ all my photos by name. It was putting mid August photos in front of early August photos! How dare it! RAR :/

4 – This fluke in number change has now forced me to organize my file folder (Pictures> Baby Photos of Chase> 2009> 08-August) by ‘Date Taken.’ It feels SO WEIRD!

5 – All my videos have organized themselves at the ‘top’ of my folder since they do not capture a ‘Date Taken’ in their Properties.

It totally throws me for a loop every time I want to download more photos of Chase into 2009 August. Seriously, I can’t wait until September! And that is not JUST for Chase’s 1^st birthday, but because my photo folder can be organized correctly again! YAY!

Am I a nut case or what?!? If you think yes, I totally blame my labelmaker wielding mother ;)

Ok, I think I am done with my needless ranting now :)

Next up: A blog about our Vacation with Kim and Ryan, these photos were just a teaser! *grin*

Lovin' The Bulky Cloth Diapered Bum!

So I just realized the other day (when Chase was wearing a disposable), how much I LOVE his bulky, fluffy, cloth diapered bottom! I just had to get more photos of his cute bum! ... and, as always, he is a willing subject ;)

Also featured: the cutest little toes that have ever come into existence! I just can't stand his cuteness!

'Hey mama, watch me!'

Standing all by himself! He was so proud!

I guess he got exhausted... he just layed and stared at the ceiling for a while... silly, cute boy!

Love that baby of mine!

Chase Is Growing Up *sniff*

So the other day I realize just how big and how grown up Chase is getting lately.

Compare: Chase in October 2008

To: Chase in August 2009

I also sat down one day after Chase was born, and typed into Google Calendar Chase's age every 2 weeks (when he was little) then every 4 weeks. Chase is 45 weeks old now (from birth!).

It is strange to think that an average baby is born at 40 weeks (Chase was born at 39 weeks), and that Chase has now lived 45 weeks outside of me. He is a total of 84 weeks old now, since conseption. Weird to think he has just 'doubled' his age last month.

Last year I was 32 weeks pregnant, and I only had a week left of work. Strange to think it was ONLY last year, but it seems so far back sometimes.
