Sweet Boy

I have no idea how, but I got these two beautiful shots of my baby in contemplation today using my huge sports lens during Connor's football game.  Isn't he beautiful?   I wonder what he was thinking.

I Love My Tiny Tub

Words, I don't believe, are necessary.

Practicing

So, after Nikon School my motto is "No Auto". Easy to say. Hard to do. But I did get these two lovely shots today.

Shot Of The Day

Brother made me a tent!

The D90

Bob bought me a spectacular Christmas gift and gave it to me this weekend. A Nikon D90 digital SLR camera. I love it. I have to figure out how to use it, but that's beside the point. I took a ton of pictures this weekend with it. And this is one of my favorites. It qualifies as the Shot of The Day.

Le Cordon Bleu

13 Weeks

These are for Nana who hasn't seen her baby grandson in 6 weeks. How big he is getting!

On another note, he's wearing one of Connor's sleepers. When you have a baby 7 years after the first child, there is little likelihood there will be baby clothes to pass down. But two things happened:

1. We gave alot of Connor's things to one person who sends us back bags of baby stuff and once in while an item of Connor's shows up. His red, Ralph Lauren Polo onesie is back for an encore performance via this path.

2. Somewhere in the back of the basement I missed a bin. And its a bin filled with 3-12 month old clothes. Some of Connor's sweetest baby things are in there.

I don't know what it is--something about love and continuity, I guess. But I get such a warm, sweet feeling when Palmer gets to wear one of his brother's things. I almost feel like I'm in a time machine and I'm getting to see Connor as he once was one more time.

Shot Of The Day-Moby Wrapped

Wow. Does he love this thing. Slept for an hour curled up in there yesterday afternoon. But boy, did we have a rough night last night. I'm more convinced than ever that dairy is the culprit. I had cut back/almost totally eliminated it for a week and then consumed a normal amount yesterday (And for me, normal is alot. I'm a milk/yogurt/cheese whore.) which resulted in abdominal agony for Palmer all night long. So, today I got serious and dairy is gone all together. Not really sure what I'll eat, since I can't eat much meat either due to the Lap Band. Rice milk smoothies, I suppose. I guess you can call me the "accidental vegan".

Shot of The Day-Memorial Day Dinner

We had a great Memorial Day dinner out at Blue Ridge Grill in Brambleton. We had lovely seats on the patio and Palmer slept the whole time. And Connor watched a show on his iPod the whole time. Daddy and I had some adult conversation. Wow.

Shot Of The Day-Milky Way

This is what every breastfeeding mother loves to see! This morning, at 11:30am after a night of snacking, we actually dug in for a nice 30 minute breakfast. My cups runneth over--literally.

Shot Of The Day-Lips

The sweetest thing. And check out that creased little breastfeeding chin!

Shot Of The Day-First Red Sox Game

Okay. So its on TV--not actually going TO a game. But nevertheless, this is Palmer's first viewing of a Red Sox game with Daddy and the kiss-a-holic Connor.
