Embracing the camera June 2

I haven't participated in embrace the camera lately because well, I'm usually not too keen on embracing it :) I take a million pictures a day of my little man, but I still struggle to get in the picture. I'm working on it though.  Here's the proof.   

 

And in honor of someone's 10 (!!!) month birthday:

 Yea that lasted for about 2.8 seconds

 See?

 I love the shots where he isn't looking at the camera or cheesin' it up, although those are great too....

Ahhh my little slice of heaven :)

Embrace The Camera Thursday

I think I actually snapped this pic on Sunday before work. It's me and little man brushing our "teeth". 

Well I have teeth, he has "teeth", lest you think we're both sportin' the gummy look ;)

He gets so excited when I pull out his baby toothbrush. He loves to gnaw on that thing and loves when I brush his gums too. 

A not so flattering pic of myself, but sweet none the less.

Happy Thursday!

Embrace The Camera Thursday

I snapped a few pics of us just after little man had woken from a nap the other day.

He has a funny look on his face, but it's the only one I looked halfway decent in. I have my priorities straight ;)

He still looks cute though, regardless of the "duh" look on his face.

We are off to Chicago/Great Lakes today and for the night. Little man is staying with Grandpa and Grandma. Here's to safe travels and a good nights sleep ;)

Happy Thursday! Go ahead, embrace the camera.

Embrace The Camera Thursday

Emily over at the anderson crew started Embrace the Camera Thursdays to encourage mommas to come out from behind the camera and to get in front of it with their little ones.

The idea is that while your kids some day will love and appreciate all the (5 billion) pictures you have taken of them, they also will love to see pictures of YOU with them.

So that's what Embrace the Camera Thursdays are all about. Every Thursday you take a pic of you and your kid(s) so that someday you will have a wonderful collection for your little ones to enjoy.

So onto my picture captured for the occasion. Please ignore my lack of make-up and Morgan's fashion faux pas, wearing a Christmas shirt AFTER Christmas. *GASP* What can I say? The kid really digs Santa ;)

This was pure coincidence but so cool that I captured it. All day long Morgan has been sticking out his tongue so when I snapped this pic of us I said "Stick out your tongue" and stuck mine out too. And he did and I caught it! Baby genius I got here. I kid, I kid. No, but really... :)

You can find Emily's original post about how this all came to be here.
