oh dear

Ellie was showing signs of being under the weather yesterday and having only had an hour sleep yesterday afternoon, (very unusual) i popped her on my bed.

Instantly, the way she was sat, i saw that the light from our window was fantastic over Ellie.

Sensing that i could make a quick buck by exploiting my daughter to my family i grabbed my camera.

So off i went, 



Click, ClickChange Position for a funky arty farty shot!  This went on for  while, 35 or so shots, (with varying degrees of success).
Then i took this shot.
Little did i know this would be the last of the shoot... as you can see (i didn't)  there isn't much in the way of bed, (Ellie can push herself backwards), and already here you can see her feet are off the bed, 

I sat back down on the floor to look at my results, i look up in time to see Ellie push herself backwards....

Over she went, almost like a slide with a drop in it, she was clinging to the quilt, which clearly and thankfully slowed her fall, "OH SHIT!" i exclaimed, (i noticed after that  i had put my camera down first!) and promptly went around the bed, 

Vick had dumped a pillow on the floor (a good few weeks ago now - see mum it pays to be lazy!) and that had saved Ellie's Head from hitting the floor hard, Naturally she was starting to scream as i go to her scooping her up and giving her a big hug, 

My first reaction was to phone Vicky, the sight of the phone calmed Ellie down somewhat, though she was rather clingy, she the drunk 8oz milk, (not normal for that time of day), after a while of cuddling, and cheap jokes, i put her back down to sleep...

I went back to claim my camera from the bed, and still noticing the good light i took some shots of me... (if you saw the light you would have too!)





Quite a few lessons for one day huh!

I'm sure that will not be the last fall or bump Ellie will have, you will get used to not panicking, it doesn't help to calm them quickly.
Photos are amazing I will definately be getting some of them, including the one of you if I can.

What a clever daddy and gorgeous grand daughter!!!!!
