Eureka! A Nikon D40

Posted on December 30, 2007

Lookie what Santa left under the tree!! 

After care­ful con­sid­er­a­tion and much much much hand wring­ing.  I finally decided on the Nikon D40.  Decid­ing to pur­chase this cam­era was a very tough deci­sion espe­cially for some­one who is usu­ally pretty darn deci­sive.  I fought long and hard against my nat­ural ten­dency to go for a cam­era w/ more megapix­els.  I chose this one because all of the reviews said it was a great easy to use cam­era.  I toyed w/the D40x but again every review said it was a waste of money, not worth $$ for the extra megapix­als.  I think I made the right deci­sion.  I’ve used it loads and it’s a really great cam­era.  I’ve only ever used it on auto as I don’t have a han­dle on how it works and have been too busy tak­ing care of Squidge to prop­erly read the manual. 

Squidge is still  not 100% but is show­ing signs of improve­ment.  She’s very pale and tires easily.  We’re strug­gling try­ing to decide what is wrong with her.  We think she’s teething.  We think she still has a bit of a cold.  We think that she has been hav­ing ter­ri­ble headaches.  We don’t know what to think.   We went to Eureka today and she had a fantab­u­lous time.

You can see  more pho­tos here

Then she got home and had a melt down.  She had a bath but did not enjoy it.  Now if you had ever seen Squidge in a tub you’d know that is a sure sign to worry.  The girl loves her bath.  Tonight she was ten­ta­tive, whiny, cry­ing and wanted lots of hugs.  I’ve been giv­ing her Calpofen but I don’t think it really does much.  I have a lit­tle bit of baby Motrin from the US I’ve been hoard­ing and I gave her some tonight– like a magic elixir!  She was back to her­self 10 min­utes after tak­ing it.

    Nice cam­era!!

    When­ever our kids were sick we would alwwwaaaays blame it on teething. Because some­times there just aren’t any answers…

    Hope she is 100% soon!

    Cool new toy you have there!!
    Have you taken her to the doc­tor? Maybe it’s her ears? Hope you find the cause soon and she can get better.

    Glad you’re feel­ing bet­ter — I was sick as a dog for Christ­mas and we’ve got no pic­tures of the boys either, but at least every­one is happy, so that’s good. I’m inter­ested in that cam­era — I’m think­ing of get­ting some­thing bet­ter than what I have, but I’m at the very begin­ning of think­ing about it, so I have much research to do…

    Happy New Year to everyone!
