 Selfie taken with my camera in one hand while I held my daughter with my other arm. My original idea had been to get a sleeping baby shot, but apparently sleep no longer fits into her busy baby routine.

I know that photos that have personal sentimental value often don't do well in these challenges so I'm bracing for that.
