Camera toss (Take 2)

This time it went a little better. Christina over at Momology told me to change the +2 to a 0 or negative number. I did that and used a different light source...the computer button light. This time it went alot better. Next time I will try the TV like Kimberly suggested at Altering life.

Camera Toss

I was reading on some blogs about "Camera tossing". I decided to try it this evening since Ryleigh went to bed early and I was board out of my mind. I must be doing something wrong though. Who knew throwing the camera up will be so difficult. My pictures look nothing like what they are supposed to look like. Can someone who know what they are doing give me some pointers? I have a Kodak Camera I had the dial on ASM and the numbers and letters on the screen were S, f 2.8, 1 (sec shutter speed), +2.0, Iso 80. The only thing I know about is the shutter speed and that was set at 1-8 seconds. I tryed different ones. I did find that 1 sec was better than 8 sec. The picture was too light with the 8 seconds. Here are 2 of the better ones if you would even call them that...lol.

Evaluation

The evaluation was mainly for me to fill out paperwork and talk to her about my concerns. She asked a ton of questions. I chose 2 specialist to come and evaluate Ryleigh. (You have to pick 2). The first lady is for her physical development. Maily gross motor. The second lady is for overal development. She will check Ryleigh in all areas to see if shes lacking anywhere else. (I dont think she is at all) After that appt. I will meet with the lady I met with today. We will discuss the findings and decide if I want 1 or both women to come back if thats necessary, and we will decide how often. With in the next 2 weeks the specialist will be calling to set up appts. So I will update everyone after that.

Picture

Well, I forgot about BSM yesterday, so I will just post the picture today since I really wanted to share it.

Update on Life

Well, after calling Dr. Tellers (neurologist) office 4 times in the past 7 WEEKS, he finally called me back. I was so mad that if he didnt call today I was going to camp out in his office untill he did talk to me tomorrow! That is just insane. Anyway, after reviewing me MRI from last year again, he couldnt really find a reason why I was having so much pain. So at 9:55pm on Saturday night I go for another MRI. Bobby is going with me, and since Ryleigh will be in bed my mom will be coming over to the house to sit her while she sleeps and catch up on her computer time since hers is broken.
Tomorrow is Ryleighs evaluation with B-3, I hope all goes well. Im not that worried now, because shes making an effort to crawl. Hasnt quite got it yet, but shes on all 4's rocking. When she goes to move her knee her legs slide apart and she falls...lol. Its a start though.
Bobby is doing good. Not really much to report with him. Hes off with us today, so we are going to go outside for a little bit and hang out.
The Boys are doing good. Rotten as ever though. At night we have been putting them in the basement because its to hot with them laying on us. When its time for them to go downstairs Chopper gets this sad look on his face and starts walking in the opposite direction. Then when he descides that im going to get him he sits down, then flops on his side and rolls on his back to get some belly scratches. LOL. Hes so funny! I will have to get that on video and share it.

Hmm

Seems as though my site gets a lot more traffic than I thought! Kind of scary really. Seems as though I also have a great deal of lurkers. My page got 140 hits this weekend. Most of the hits were from the US and Canada, but I did have some from the UK, Australia, Greece, The Philippines and New Zealand. The average time spent on my site is 6 min. Most people found me from a search engine most likely by googling Kalebs name. I get a lot of hate mail from that one. Only 25% were from direct traffic, and 13% were from referring sites. So thanks to those who have me on their blog rolls. 1 Person went through my entire blog which is somewhat disturbing! A couple of others read quite a few pages of it. Every heard of a comment button? Anyway I will continue to check the stats. This has definitly opened up my eyes. I will have to be more careful as to what I post, expecially pictures.
