I took 85 pictures last night

I took little guy to the park last night after I got off work. Weather was perfect. Sun was still out. He loved it. I'm happy I had my camera with me. I got to capture that smile of his. That smile that I think about 24/7.

Have a Happy 4th & Stay Cool!! It's supposed to be close to the 100's in the DC area so I'm thinking POOL!!!

it starts early

Have I mentioned my husband has a shoe obsession, yeah I came home and he putting his shoes next to aaron's. Aaron already has a nice little collection that will hopefully be passed on to baby #2. :)

My mornings

Cute gap outfit, that is still too big on my skinny guy.

and my weekend was perfect. I had a couple hours to myself on Sunday and I kept it simple. I went to Trader Joes for pretty flowers and soap! :)

Am I ready for baby #2?

When I see things like this? I think YES I AM!!!! I can't wait until we have a baby girl. There are so many cute things out there for little girls, unfortunately that isn't the case for boys grrr.

In all honesty, we're not quite ready for baby #2 yet but I can at least start my must have list for when Leah comes (yes, I already know my future baby girl's name, hehe)

MY best shot

I bought a canon rebel last summer because I wanted to take great photos of my child growing up, I am lucky that my friend Mary Kate, has been teaching me a lot and it is a really fun hobby to have.

I love Paper Mama's site, great inspiration to get you going if you are new to the photography world. Since I have been noticing that I am getting better & better, I thought I would enter one of her competitions, I thought eh why not?!

Here is my best shot of Aaron at his first birthday party! I love this shot, Aaron was trying to take his mask off & I took about 20 pictures of him in a 2-3 minute span trying to get just one good shot of his mask. I also unknowingly followed the rule of thirds. Great shot, huh?

Hope we win!
