Favorite part of summer

My favorite part of my summer days is when I can lay down with Si for a nap. His face is so calm and sweet :) when Janie (rarely) comes and lays down with us, it becomes even better!

Today is packing day for camp! We went and bought everything Janie will need for her trip :) I ended up spending about $170 on it all.

I went through her hair yesterday while Nana and Pop were here with us. Nana watched Si so I could concentrate on what I was doing... I will check her again this evening, I sure hope I don't find anything...

I took pictures at Jamie and Sam's wedding reception this past weekend. Maggie was the second shooter (or maybe I was... I dunno) so we got lots of good shots. I got Maggie's pictures so I can pick out some to edit and compile a photo book for Jamie and Sam. 

Every couple deserves a wedding album :)

Forward

Si turned six months old on monday! he has gotten so big... i honestly don't know how much he weighs but we will find out for sure next week when we take him to the doctor for his six-month checkup (which includes shots...)

he just started being able to sit up on his own! he's still a bit wobbly but he can stay up for extended periods of time without support. my sister says it will be no time before he's crawling...

it's been a busy past few weeks. janie's skating birthday party (which turned out fine even though i wanted to punch the owner of the rink in the throat to begin with) and the the womanless beauty pageant at the high school that i took pictures at (and then had to make them private because of the thousands of views they were getting on flickr... it was kinda freaking me out...) and the jwl mardi gras ball in town last weekend (again, more pictures).

i've got two weddings coming up that i'm going to photograph. they're small weddings (my favorite kind) so they won't stress me out too bad...

it's only wednesday and I am definitely looking forward to the weekend. actually, i'm looking forward to 3:05. thankfully that's only about 20 minutes away ;)

No D90

I went back to work last Monday and Si started daycare with Mrs D. It took me a few days to get back into routine and to get over the astounding tiredness I felt every day from getting up with Si every night for his feeding. But I think I'm getting the hang of it. He had a rough night the Sunday night before I went to work on that first Monday, getting up every 2 to 3 hours, but since then he has eased back into his routine of getting up once during the night. 

I think he knew something was up and that's why he kept getting up that night...

It is an awesome feeling to know that Si is absolutely taken care of while I'm at work. Mrs D is so good to my Si :)

Janie had her choral concert tonight and Chris was able to come to it. My parents also attended. I took a couple of pics of Janie with her daddy but I didn't even use my D90. That's probably the first school function I've attended that I haven't taken my camera to. It was as odd feeling. 

I'm rocking Si to sleep. He didn't take much of his last bottle (it took an hour just to get an ounce and a half in him) and he kept falling asleep. I hope he sleeps well tonight...

Si is 4 months old today!!

It's hard to believe he is already this old... he is such a beautiful baby. I can hold him and stare at his precious face for hours... 

:D
