Almost
It's almost in focus.
She's constantly in motion.
In this instant she was in-between jumping up & coming back down in her crib.
Up & down. Up & down. Laughing. Jumping. Smiling. And then diving (seriously) down onto her mattress.
All this upon waking up from a mid-morning nap.
I'll take almost.
Almost is pretty darn cute.

I can so relate this post :)
I have so many out of focus photos.
And they're just as precious - or maybe even more - than one that is in focus.
I'm just jealous that she still naps in the morning and Morrison and Anna are just a few days apart. He only naps between 1 and 3pm, 2 hours if I'm lucky, just 1 if I'm not :)
She seems to be moving towards one nap - just in the mid-morning. Yesterday she took just this one.

Toothy grin and eyes that sparkle. What more could a mommy ask for in her favorite girl?

Thanks for the post. It is nice to know that even the pro's have a hard time getting their kids to sit still for pic's. I love the idea of this quote. I think I will use my stack of almost pics to make a mini book! Thanks for sharing the inspiration.

She is precious, just as the moments she is growing up are too. Your children are so expressive and happy! That is a sure sign of good parents :) !

I have tons of out of focus shots. That's life. Still totally adorable.

If she starts singing a little song at the top of her lungs while jumping up and down and mattress diving....you have my third born! (it's just to let you know that she's awake now!)

I think every picture I take is out of focus! But I scrap them anyway, they still give me the memory and the feeling of that moment.

Anna is so adorable, Ali. There isn't anything better than watching children having fun. Well, there is one thing better than that, having the fun with them.
Thank you for sharing this cutest photo of Anna with us.

Ali,
She is so cute! I noticed that her crib is against the wall, I think it was in the middle of the room in the old house...cannot wait to see what the kids rooms look like now.
Yep. Changing things up. I took some shots of her room and hope to share later this week or next. Simon's is going to take a bit longer.

Wow! This post completely reminds me of my 15-month old son. He, like Anna, is in constant motion. And he, like Anna, loves to jump in his crib and dive into the mattress. I put him down for a nap the other day and about ten minutes later I heard a big crack... silence... then a big wail. He had dived right into the railings and given himself a huge red welt on his forehead. Guess what we were doing that very night? Family pictures. *sigh*
They sure are full of energy and keep joy in the home.
I always love hearing about your family as well as all the crafty things you do!
Oh that sounds familiar here too. If you look closely she's got a bump on her forehead too. Full of life that's for sure.

I have had a lot of those almost in focus pictures lately, but I think that is what life with kids is like. I don't think I am ever completely in focus myself trying to keep up with my 2.
