Welcome back to #iPPP! Mama Mash and I want to see your funny, your yummy, your heartfelt, your favorite phone photos of the week. Link up below!
You all know that Ervin is my Boo Boo, my baby boy. As evidenced by my mother and little brother, he will always be my baby boy. But he’s already growing up way too fast!
So, of course, I want to take his picture. A Lot.
Much to my chagrin, however, my Boo Boo is almost 19 months old and does Not. Stop. Moving. Ever. Unless he’s asleep.
So, these are the pictures I end up with.
Unless I turn the forward facing camera on, he’s strapped in a highchair, or I let him loose and back way the heck up. Then magic happens. Or at least, a non-blurry picture.
What are your biggest photo taking challenges?

Remember all the cute, perfectly still baby pics? Sigh. Blurry times, sister. Blurry times.
Yup, mine won't stop moving. They are very close in age! Like is 23 months! My biggest problem is him trying to grab my phone!
I love the second one, it's awesome! My biggest challenge is that my family always makes funny faces – not a single normal picture in the house!
I have an idea…switch to the video setting and just take a bunch of video of him on the move. More video of my 3 year old baby is on my to do list. I especially want to capture her voice…I love what a little conversationalist she is.
I understand totally! It's so hard. It seems like I take about a million pictures, and they're all blurry. And I can tell they're cute, but blurry! I love Ervin's cute pictures. What's going on in that first one? It looks like someone just jumped out and scared him.
I so get this. Sometimes getting a decent pic of the kids is impossible because they never stand still long enough to get a good shot. Your Boo Boo is adorable… moving or not! 🙂
Your lil Boo Boo is just SO adorable! I end up with the same kinds of blurry pics so I just take a hundred to get one good one and then delete all the burry ones lol
Oh do I know this phenomenon! Especially taking pictures with my phone. Almost all the phone pictures of the boys are somewhat blurry. They're too quick for the camera 🙂
Blurry times are good! Those pictures hang onto the most memories as something VERY MEMORABLE is happening while they are snapped. That purple face one? um….did that stain? Just wondering because it looks really fun and I'm thinking maybe I need a night where I get to eat like that but I couldn't ever report to work at the jail with a purple face.
This so reminds me of my daughter Hannah Kate. She was the cutest thing – but every picture of her was a blur or with some strange look on her face. She was never still — and she still isn't. Though now she does stay still enough for some cute pictures. On Instagram, of course.
I can't get my daughter not to strike some borderline inappropriate pose. She's 4 and she's already on to this posing thing. I'm constantly telling her to out her shoulder down and straighten out her head. My son? He's 10. I can't even get in the same room as him. Pull out a camera and he's outta there.
You still get some pretty impressive shots in! I love to see them all on Instagram. The one where is asleep on your shoulder at the pharmacy today…swoon! I miss those cuddle days (even though they broke my arm sometimes from their dead weight).
Love him!!!! My challenges??? Well, besides the obvious that they're blurry or someone is moving- I actually start to question if I have enough pictures of everyone. As in fairly. I realize they'd never really know- but I think about it quite a bit.
I love the picture of him near the tractor! It's perfect!
My 2 year old never stops moving and most of my pictures of him are blurry.
I think these are a lot more real than some of the posed ones. Cute kiddos!
I like the Candids better anyway. I've given up on getting the boys to sit still.
