Jacinda (Dita999)'s Photos : Popular Photos : Monday 17th November 2008 ~ I thought I'd do my do my big comeback with a Daniel shot (this one is especially for his Maimeo) So where to start when you have been AWOL for as long as me ... Well guess the safest is to stick with the photo subject (and you know me I'm a safety-first kinda girl -cough cough)So Daniel - My baby's not a baby anymore - particularly if you ask him He's a whirl wind of energy (a giggling whirl-wind) He is becoming fiercely independent and has absolutely no patience for my help because what would I know I am merely the fun police in his eyes He's amazing to watch he is exploring everything (which is a kind way of saying he's into ABSOLOUTLY everything and is driving me nothing short of crazy) I can put all his toys out on his play mat and he'll walk straight to the pots and pans cupboard and play in there I found him putting his alphabet fridge magnets in the grill the other day with an egg flip obviously he was cooking them - Luckily This time I knew about it before I turned on the grill and cooked them for real - We no longer cry when we wake up from our nap we just stand and yell - Hey ...HEY!!!and if that doesn't work MUMMY which is said like two words -Mum ME and he likes to play chasey for EVERYTHING nappy changes getting dressed getting undressed having a bath coming inside absolutely EVERYTHING he could probably run a lot faster if he didn't giggle so much when he was running away same for hiding (yes he has also discovered the joy of hiding from Mum) Cept he's not to hard to find u just follow the giggles Anyway speak of the devil He's just woken up (I can hear HEY!) and I can't use the computer when he's up these days he climbs into my lap under the pretence of cuddles but what he really wants is to press the flashing light button - That also happens to be the POWER button - Don't even get me started on how many emails - assignments etc I have lost to that little exercise so I shall go and see you all tomorrow no doubt I will be a little less sane but I guess thems the breaks of having a toddler (Gotta Love the little bugger) Til then HUGS *((((((((((((((__

Jacinda (Dita999) > 3rd May 2008 ~ I have been up since 3am with Daniel teething so I have brainmush But I'll Live thank you All for being so patient with me and letting me catch up on my posts etc I REALLY DO appreciate it Thank you ALL ... Mum and I have been admiring this flower Farm 6 mins from home for ages but we NEVER go and photograph it til today OBVIOUSLY Mum let me use her old camera which she said I could buy of her for a ridiculously LOW price considering it is only 16months old BUT she does have a very flash new one ANYWAY so I thought I would try it out today see how I like it before I commit to buying it cos (single Mum you all know whats its like and we all love a rather expensive hobby) although at the same time as expensive as the equiptment is once you have it and if you look after it you really don't need to buy it again except by choice (thats how I justify spending the money anyway LOL) anyway I better not carry on its not safe writting captions when I have brain mush

Jacinda (Dita999) > 27th March 2008 ~ I cheated today I took this a month or so ago But my good friend got 4 new foster kids today 3 of which are in nappies needless to say she needed a little help so I am putting in an oldie This is a water dragon they are everywhere around here they like the rocks around water features in parks when they aren't in there own habitat and they are unusually bold as far as lizards go they will sit and let you take photos or what ever you are doing as opposed to the usual scurrying of you get from lizards although these guys are a lot bigger than your averavge lizard at around the 40cm (body length - not tail)mark

Jacinda (Dita999) > Thursday June 5th 2008 ~ Ok I have a good excuse besides the fact I am cameraless see this sad face :( that is a self portrait of me without a camera My excuse is we got 100ml of rain in 4 days 50 something of those ml we got in one day so since Friday last week this photo and the last one I posted have been the only photos I have had a chance to take and they were taken on the same day on a break in the rain if you can picture this Mumsy and me pull up at the canal decide we don't have the time in the rain break to pull out the pram so Mum carries camera and I carry Daniel thru what I thought was some wet grass I was WRONG It was more MUD than grass I nearly ended up on my BUTT more than once because it was the slippery variety anyway we get to here and I think I got to take 4 photos in rather quick succession while Daniel was wriggling Furiously in Grandma's arms trying with ALL his might to get on the ground and the before mentioned MUD (not gunna happen kid LOL)and it starts to rain again rather suddenly so Mum and I and the camera and the wriggly child have to get across all the slippery to the mud in this rather cold rain I am wearing rather soggy not to mention inappropriate shoes fpr the task and again nearly went over every step I took (hence the fact Mum gave me the baby back and she carried the camera she wasn't risking the camera to me lol) anyway I don't know how but I made it to the car in one piece and if that wasn't enuf of an effort when we got there Mum turns to me and say we have to go get her a daily now - WHAT!!!!! so now that you know how hard I have tried to get a daily - You know I have not given up - But you will have to excuse me if I post a few oldies over the next few days and excuse the crookered (is that how you spell it?) photo but it didn't matter which way we straightened it it looked queer so we left it as it was After all I went thru to get this pic and its UNSTRAIGHTENABLE oh well such is life HUGS

Jacinda (Dita999) > 14th June 2008 ~ It was Daniels 1st Birthday yesterday BUT he had a playdate/party today he also ate his first piece of watermelon today he was as pleased with that as he was with the whole party he liked it so much he wouldn't give it back when he ran out of the pink stuff and wanted to eat the green as well and there was no convincing him other wise even when I got him another piece he stuill hung on to the old piece for dear life - Well I had to borrow my old camera to take these photos BUT Guess what!?! Betcha Can't ???? My NEW Camera will be back THIS week and I can rejoin the Dailies and return to giving you all a daily caption headache Betcha Can't wait.... Well I know I can't - I might post a few more pics from his party for you all well just as much for me cos I really enjoy the whole DP deal and let me tell you I didn't realise just how much til I was cameraless (thank you Canon- said dripping with sarcasm) and couldn't do it So anyway this week I will be BACK ....YAY 4 ME (insert little victory dance here) anyway since I party photos to post I might be able to get thru til it arrives I know I will try Anyways It is SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD to be back HUGS ((((((())))))

Jacinda (Dita999) > Wednesday 8th October 2008 ~ Okay I am not on a bug Craze I swear todays shot just panned out that way I was doing some babysitting for a friend and I did some dishes while I was there and took the rubbish out anyway as I was coming out the door I found this little extra terrestrial and I thought "cool" but for sure it still won't be there when I get back from the bin and it was then I think "There is no way that it will be there by the time I go get my camera and come back since I've had a broken foot I can't exactly HURRY any where even when I want to in fact when I try to go fast it slows me down cos it hurts :-( anyway of track .... So I hobbled to the other end of my friends house where I had my camera out of reach of little fingers and hobbled back and while I was on the walk/limp I decided that if he was stll there when I go back and didn't hop of the second I tried to take his picture he would be my daily photo and lo and behold I get back (and the whole trip took me a few minutes)and he's right where I left him and not only that he was a very co-operative little subject he let me shoot him at all different angles even a few camera in the face shots in fact he was so good I had trouble choosing which one to share with you guys cos he had such an excellent little face but his full length shots where cool too so when you can't decide go to Mumma So this one was Mum's choice Hope you like him as much as I did see you all tomorrow (((((((((((HUGS)))))))))

Jacinda (Dita999) > August 6th 2008 ~ I haven't done a thing to this at all (obviously) but I really wanted to get back to posting - As you can see we aren't a top notch walker yet (notics the mark under his eyes - like you can miss it) When we went down the coast we stayed at my cousins the night anyway she has one of them yappy little rat sized dogs Daniel was terrified of it which makes no sense because he LOVES our dfog Maggie who is a GREAT BIG licking lovaeable husky (whi tries to love him to death MOST days) and steals his biccies on a regular basis (he still hasn't learnt when we go outside not to visit with Maggie til he's finished eating) ANYWAY Ralph(rat-sized dog) has the run of the house there everytime he went to close to Daniel Daniel would let out a horrified cry and run (did I mention we still haven't mastered running)anyway Daniel was exploring the pots and pans draw when Ralph ventured into the kitchen and he reacted so quick he jammed his fingers in the draw - feet got away from under him and face hit draw corner there was a split second of silence then he let us have it with both barrells poor little guy anyway needless to say I felt suffieciently helpless and maybe a little guilty for laughing at him earlier when he had been running from him it had just seemed silly that he was sop scared of teeny tiny Ralph and not biccy stealing Daniel knocking face licking Maggie - Go figure that one - Anyway I am posting again today playing a little catch up (YaY 4 me) til then ((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))) I am going to play catch up with your comments during Daniels sleep so if I haven't made it to you yet I am Coming

Jacinda (Dita999) > Thursday 20th November 2008 ~ I can't stay and write much because we are having yet another severe storm the forth in as many days in fact South East Queensland's in a state of emergency - But we here in this house are fine .... Tired ...But fine (Daniel gets scared of the thunder in the early hours of the morning - Lucky me) Oh I got the fright of my life yesterday I was bringing in the Wheelie bin and moved over the recycling bin to make room for it as I move it I hear a really LOUD hissing and look down to see what I thought was a really BIG brown snakes head just at that exact moment I hear Daniel going "OOOOOOOH" the noise he makes when he sees something he thinks will be fun and what I think is a BIG brown snake is between me and Daniel because he ducked between the bin when I moved them so he is outta my reach so I think how am I going to do this (while my heart is in my chest and I am effectively freaked) just as I am about to climb over the bins which are chest high and believe me when I say that it would have been a sight nobody needed burned into there retina I look at my GIANT BROWN SNAKE only to notice he has a great big fat blue tongue so I peep over the bin and get a view of the WHOLE body not just the head and it had legs my Giant Brown Snake was I big fat Blue tongue lizard that was hissing in fear....So after composing myself and having a bit of a giggle at myself I realise why am I standing here go get your camera Dufus of course by the time i did my new friend was gone hence the fact this is a sunset I took at Coochiemudlo Island on the weekend and not a blue tongue lizard incognito as a brown snake See Ya tomorrow (((((((((HUGS)))))))P.S Just call me Mumma Bird Pee Wee is still with us
