Playtime...

I was originally trying to take pics of Seth pointing to his belly button (a new milestone in this house). But he was more interested in playing, so I went with the moment. I adore how these turned out, they are the essence of my child. In the last one, he is LOL b/c my foot was on the front of the trike pushing him back. I am proud b/c I was able to cognitively control the settings... I knew to overexpose some, I was able to get these angles SOOC, I boosted my ISO to capture them quick! These images really remind me of Tara Whitney's style, but I wasn't consciously trying for that. TFL!

... and my favorite...

and please tell me when my baby went and got all growed up on me?

I have been needing some new jeans. Isn't it funny, that as women we own multiple pairs of denim... yet we only wear the same 2 or 3 pairs we love over and over? That's me anyways. Last fall I purchased some Gap Curvy jeans. Wow. Someone finally got the smarts to make some jeans that curve around the hips, and wait get this, smaller in the waist. Shock! I mean.. isn't that how most women are made? At least this cubanita is! Ok, off that tengent, I love those jeans! They are dark, with a crease down the front, so they make me look slimmer and taller, and b/c of the waist, I am not gaping in the back, nor hitching them up every few steps. (I hate belts b/c they make shirts pooch out in front... so not flattering.)

Anyways! I just ordered this pair of Gap curvy from gap.com They are a lighter color, and have just a tad distressing, which I love! I ordered them in an 8. The only thing is... I am not currently an 8, I am more of a fluffy 10, b/c of winter, and well, ice cream and chocolate! LOL! Don't worry though, or shake your head, b/c what you might not know about me yet, is that I am a runner. Its just too cold up here in Amish Country PA in the winter time to get outside. So in the next week I'll be back running 3 or 4 miles a day, 3 or 4 times a week. I'll be in those jeans, comfortably ('cuz you know I can still get in them tightly, now, LOL). I have also picked up some iof those Special K cereal bars, along with some Light Yoghert for my lunches.

Remember how I couldn't find dressy stuff for Seth? Well, I also picked up this sweater for him for next winter. I'tt be so cute with a white button down and some khaki's.
