"BOKS!"
One of my favorite things to do with A is play BOKS! It can occupy his active toddler mind for at least 20minutes, which is music to my ears.
First...he dumps the bag so ALL the blocks are on the floor. Truthfully I think this is his favorite part.
There are 26 total-one for every letter.
P is for penguin (where daddy works.)
I am going to use these to help teach his letters, but for now...he likes to study his own way.
He likes to stack the blocks then knock them down, over and over and over again!
All that playing gets him tired.Oh, and just to stay on theme...here is a before and after shot of one of his semi-nutritional snacks. I bumped the curves and added a soft light layer at a low opacity.
All of these were taken with my macro 100mm lens. It was being neglected so I dusted it off. Thank you for all the comments about the texture, the biggest thing I've learned is to put the texture on a soft light layer, not overlay. It does not mess with the colors as much that way. I have Leah's texture action, but I've also gotten a bunch of free texture Jpegs off textureking.com

We have those! I love them. However, I do think I am more interested in them then they are. :P
These are so wonderful. I really need to take more pics of the girls playing.
We've got the peek-a-blocks, too, but several sets of them so my girls build these RIDICULOUS towers when we play. They're the cutest little things. . . as is your son! :)
I am SO partial to story-telling photographs of everyday things that are the things you really do want to remember when it's all said and done (got that?!)... And these are just GREAT!! Love them Heather!!
okay, first---LOVE the shots from yesterday---i was MIA...but these are stunning!!! little man looks so adorable peeking out like that and your texture is perfect!!! well done heather!
Heather, these turned out really cute. Would make an awesome scrapbook page. TOni
These are very nice! I love the cereal.
Great photos. Love those peek a blocks. I think I make my son play with them just because I think they are so stinkin cute.
I love the way you tell a story with your pictures!Also great colors!!
BOKS are one of my favorite games to play! I love this set- and they photogragh well :)
You really worked that 100. It's quickly becoming my fave lens.
I love the detail- texture, color, shape- of the snack.
Nice shots, Heather!
Heather - I love how colorful and fun your pictures always are! You always bring sunshine to the day! :)
These are perfect and the colors are nice.
Can I come play "boks" at your house, we didn't have awesome blocks like that when my kids were little. Oh and while I'm there maybe I could get some tips too. :D
I really like the one of him stacking. It tells a great story with chubby baby hands. Great job
love how this post tells a story of his playtime!
Oh I am so glad to see that his birthday present is still such a hit! CUZ Man & CUZ Jussie love you can't wait to see you all in March!
Ohhh I love these pictures! Those fruit loops look yummy!!
Love the chronicling of A's day, and those blocks are too cute!
My favorite image is the second to last where he's stacking the blocks. Great shot, but then again you always have some goo solid shots.
Nice photos! We love those kind of "boks" too!
These are all great shots and lots of fun!
you always have such fun, wonderful and meaningful images. i adore the one of his hand holding the block...so sweet. and his little yawn made me smile.
These are beautiful photos! I love how colorful and creative they are! I really appreciate your explaining more how you used the textures. And the "nutritious" snack, after, is a wonderful improvement over the "before."
love these! I love that yawn.... it's a bit contagious! :)
lol! 'boks'. it took me a second to actually figure it out! very cute! i really miss that age. :( my youngest baby is 6 now. enjoy it. they grow up fast!
Those blocks are the cutest I have ever seen. I love that yawning picture, he is getting so big.
Answer to comment on my blog-I'm not sure where she got that snoman suit but there are some on ebay :)
So cute! My guy is like that as well... loves building and his "race cars"!
These are wonderful captures! You do such a fantastic job of capturing the everyday moments.
Hurray for anything that can occupy a toddler! These "boks" look like fun and a toy that will be played with for several years. I like the full frame of cereal, nice color. Thanks for the tips on textures.
I haven't been on in a few days but wanted to comment on baby n peaking photo so cute. Blcoks are always fun and colorful.
Heather, the shot of his hand and the stacked blocks is absolutely wonderful!! Such an icon of childhood. Nice work.
Great pictures. The blocks look like a lot of fun. I really like the color in all those. I really wish I could get my picks to come out that sharp.
Those are some cute BOKS. I always liked piling up and smashing block towers with my kids, too. I never had to use my imagination :-) Love the cereal, too. Adding to my list of macro things to photograph.
So colorful. Love the blocks!
How fun, what a great story told with pictures. I love your everyday photos that look so amazing!! The one of him stacking the blocks!
those are the coolest blocks i have ever seen..those look so fun.
