Charlie's new found love

Maybe I am a little too trusting of our 700 dollar camera. But how can I resist his sweet smile. He extends his hand out and says, Pass me the camera please.....my heart melts and I pass him this huge black camera that he can hardly handle.

I think I have figured out what I want to get him for his birthday. Adam seems to think a bike bell will be enough to celebrate our baby boy turning 3, strange coming from a man who bought him this huge ass ATV when he turned 2, and then went out one day and came back with

a 200 dollar bike for xmas.

This is Charlie's first photo shoot and he loved every second of it. It reminded me of this wonderful documentary, can't remember the name of course, of very poor children becoming part of an amazing photography group in Iraq...

Charlie isn't able to use the tiny view finder, so just points and clicks and hopes for the best. By the end he got the hang out it.

He was very excited about this one, it popped up on the little screen and he said, WOW MOMMY THE FLOOR, my mom would be proud as her favorite thing in the world besides her grandchildren is her floor.

 MY MONKEY BLANKET!

AWW, LILY (this are direct quotes) (Lily was embarrassed to let her bad side be photographed)

 

He wanted to catch me saying his favorite thing to hear: Charlie, I Love you SOOOOO much! If this is what my face looks like everytime I say it, maybe it is not the words he loves to hear, but this incredibly ridiculous face

 This is a great shot. Good job Charlie, now you got the hang out it!

Now we may never be able to take out the camera, Charlie just woke up from his nap, ran in here grabbed the camera still connected to the computer and said, It works. It has batteries. See after we let him take a few shots we have to lie (gasp) and tell him the batteries are dead and need to be charged. Does that make me a bad mom?
