Our Little Monkey!

Notice the face!

Before we rearranged Charlie's room, I had to fold down the bumper becuase of this very habit of our little one. For some strange reason, I thought I could leave it as is this time around. During nap time yesterday, Charlie spent an hour talking to himself, tickling his toes, rolling around and saying "whooooaaaa" several times. I looked in frequently to check on him. The above is evidence of how I found him! He would strattle the rail and say, "whoooaaaa!" Needless to say, the bumper got folder back down!

The 1st Haircut!

Cutting the 1st curl.

Aunt Melissa handy with the bag.

Finding comfort in Daddy.

Checking himself out.

Cartoons were on the flat screen to keep him occupied. It worked...sorta.

A little aggrevated.

Totally done with this!

Still not happy, but found the strength to keep going.

All done! Doesn't he look so handsome?

P.S. His hair still curls up at the top, it was just combed down here.

The family came for a visit this past week and I decided to share this 1st with them. I didn't cry. This was a rather exciting event for us. Charlie didn't do as bad as he could have. Patience is not his thing, just as it is not mine. Daddy was a hero, once again.

Another heirloom!

I have been toy box shopping for a couple of weeks. I showed hubby the type of toy box I was leaning toward and he says to me, "I have one just like that." Now, usually this is followed by, "I don't know where it is." Sunday hubby and Charlie visited Grandpa and found his toy box! We had so much fun sitting in the floor exploring his old toys. The train is definitely my fav! I realize now that I didn't get a single pic of the toy box! LOL. I will have to follow up on that! We also gathered so much energy from the nostalgic toys that we decided to rearrange Charlie's room at 10:00 that night! So glad my boy has his own toy box!

Just for Fun!

Not happy! Don't worry, candy was on its way!

I thought about removing the drool here, but then it would take away his personality.

I love his face here. He is as pure as he looks!

Portrait.

Our latest assignment was to take a portrait of someone doing something that describes them. Our praise and worship team was so kind to let me come and take pics during a practice. My favorite however were these of my happily ever afters. I love the 1st one. I love their hands. Charlie is focused on the leadership Seth is giving as to say to him, "This is way to life my son."

I just can't get enough!

I love these footed pjs and the way Charlie loves to look at himself in the mirror.

One of the funniest things in our lives is the way Charlie zones out when watching tv. I think a tornado could come through and he wouldn't even know.
P.S. The same has been said about me! HeHe!!

Diffuse Glow

We touched on the subject of lighting in my class just before Spring Break. We learend about diffuse light vs specular light. Specular light has harsh shadows and occurs more in sun light or direct light. Diffuse light produces softer shadows and a nice glow, if you will. I finally discovered the difuse filter in PSE 8. All these things seem to come to me just before I give up. In these pics, I wanted to give a soft, tender glow. I am curious to see what you think. In the last pic, I saturated it a bit as I found the diffuse filter also washes out the color, so it is a bit more choppy than the other two.
