Tree.Sik.Fye.
Three Hundred Sixty Five pictures in 365 days.
I have no clue whether I will make it until next winter, but I am going to give it my darnedest.
Here are the rules:
1) Take and post one (1) new picture every day for one (1) year.
2) All pictures must be posted SOOC (straight out of camera).
3) IF an edited picture is to be posted, the SOOC picture must be posted as well.
The Goal: At the end of 2010 I am going to print the blog off into a photobook and be able to track the (hopeful) improvement of my photography skills, as well as have a picture of the baby every day. No, the picture will not be of the baby EVERY day, but most days I am sure it will be.
Feel free to join in on the fun and post your URL into the Comments section under this post, or email me...ugh, oh great now my computer is in French mode.... and I will follow your 365 as well.
HAPPY PICTURE TAKING.

...Better late than never...right?
Yes, I know that it has been almost 3 months since our daughter was born - does everyone even know that Barry turned out to be a 9lb 10oz sweet little girl?
September 20th, 2009 at 11:45pm we were very surprised to meet a little girl (I SWORE we were having a boy), who was not 7.5lbs like the nurse had suspected, but rather almost 10lbs and dark.dark.dark!
I had fallen in love with names for a boy, and Ty had agreed to them had we had a son, so it was only fitting that if we had a girl he chose the name. He wrestled with a few ideas for most of the day, and finally chose Abigail Sophia.
It has been almost 3 months since her arrival - and it`s odd - it feels like she is brand new, yet also feels like she has been here forever. Since her arrival we have been waiting for the sleepless nights, hours of endless crying, and mounds of dirty diapers. Well, the diapers turned out to be exactly what we anticipated, yet, we have yet to see any sleepless nights and no hours of endless crying. She is truly a little sweetheart, and possibly the easiest baby I have ever met (and no, its not just because she is mine that I say that).
She takes after her dad and loves to sleep in - yesterday she slept till noon, and today till almost 1pm! She has found her hands and enjoys to shove them (quite literally) into her mouth - she can almost fit her whole fist in her mouth. She can roll from her stomach to her back, but has not quite figured out how to flip from her back to her stomach yet. She loves to be talked to, and she loves to smile, and has a pretty cute giggle - though you have to work pretty hard for them.
A few weeks ago we took advantage of a couple of our friends hospitality - and we joined them for 8 days at their holiday home in Palm Springs....and apparently Abby could totally be a California Baby - she loved the warm weather and really loved their pool. Swimming every day equaled one tired baby at the end of the day, I never thought that she would spend an hour in the pool at just a couple months old!
Well, its 1:32am, and this is not the most interesting, nor indepth update - but it is better than nothing. So I will try to leave you with a couple pictures of her from the other day.

Weeeeeeeek 19 is almost done!
...So I might not QUITE be as good at updating as I promised I could be. Sigh... BUT the good news is that I am updating right now! It's Week 19...actually pretty much Week 20 which means, this time next week I'll be slipping down the slope to the end already. I can't believe how fast this is going, and in true Tyler and Nicole fashion if we are ready for this arrival it will be shocking! Ha ha....
There's the only picture we have...it's not the best quality, but it's proof! :) We probably had the shortest ultrasound of all times, but it was pretty neat to see it's feet kicking and its toes flexing and such. It was a fairly early ultrasound, 16 weeks, but we got a sneak peek and now we only have another 20 or so weeks and we'll meet the little gaffer.
Still no decisions on names yet... (OH WAIT...what do you all think of Silas _____________ Griffith???) we still have awhile, but who knows maybe when sitting on the beach in a couple weeks we'll be inspired. Or...maybe the spending a few weeks of quality time together will actually allow us to spend some time trying to actually come up with a serious name. SUGGESTIONS ARE BEING TAKEN. If you look at the bottom of THIS post - under the description underneath the MANGO you'll see where it says comments, and you can click on there and leave your suggestions.
Ty's been very busy the last few weeks working on the house - it looks amazing!!! I have some pictures on the home computer, I'll post them today or tomorrow for you guy's to see how far its come. I have NO CLUE how I will leave it when we move.
Ty picked up his new recruit from the airport on Friday. She's really nice so far, and seems she will be a nice addition to the detachment, and Todd's recruit arrives this week sometime - I think maybe tomorrow! Crazy! It'll be a little nuts the next 3 months while the training is going on, but we really need the man-power as we've been short a member the last few months, and it's starting to take it's toll.
I'm fine with Ty's amount of overtime etc... we have Barry Manelow on the way, and a holiday next month - bring on the moooolah! Ha ha. OOOOOOOOOOH, and one of my favorite uncles sent Ty and I a DVD of the wedding, I'm hoping Ty can show me how to post it on here - its hilarious and we loved it! AWESOME! I hope we can share it with all of you.
Work is insane for me at the moment, we are currently developing a program we will be using across the board - internationally in our company, as well as doing our spring inventories, and I have been LOVING/HATING/COUNTING THE DAYS TILL I'M DONE WORK... Ha ha... thank goodness I have Christine now who is training to take over for me - she is truly a life-saver and hilarious like me - so we keep eachother sane :)
Well, until next time.
Barry Manelow is the size of.................
This week your baby starts bulking up and packing on the grossly named "brown fat" he'll need to keep warm when he gets evicted from his comfortable uterine home. Other highlights this week:Vernix, a milky white coating that protects your baby's skin, appears all over your baby's body to keep his skin from getting pickled in the amniotic fluid. Think of it as if your baby has been dipped in yogurt, like those delicious but fake-healthy yogurt-covered raisins and pretzels. Ooh, we feel another craving comin' on. ... Under the vernix, a fuzzy layer of hair called lanugo now covers baby's body. Don't worry, your Mini won't look like Cousin It when he's born. Most of the fuzz will fall off before baby makes his grand entrance.Good news: Your baby's kidneys are fully functioning and producing urine this week. Bad news: That means there will be lots of diapers in your future. But so far you're safe—at the moment the pee just passes into the amniotic fluid.
