ezra and daddy June 25, 2007

Sometimes it’s hard to be married to a photographer. Here is the reason why: he takes WAY better pictures than me. I mean, how can I compare? He offers to teach me how to take a good picture, but I told him just this morning I better stick with what I do know- it’s about all I can handle. But I am committed to taking pictures of Corey and our son. How awful would it be if Ezra looks back and says, “mom where are all the pictures of dad?” and I would have to say, “oh honey, I don’t take good pictures, so I just didn’t take any at all!”. No, that’s not okay. So while Corey uses his nice, fancy, and complicated camera, I am using our little digital- which I think would take great, clear pictures if I could just get the thing to stay still why I am snapping a photo! My pics all seem to come out blurry. Oh dear. There is this great thing called photo editing though. No, I don’t know how to use photoshop, but on my trusty old PC there is a program called microsoft office picture manager, which most people would scoff at, but it’s all I know. The wonderful thing about digital pictures is that even if they turn out bad, you can always modify it a little and make it look like you “meant to do it”. So here’s a few pictures that I meant to take like this. I hope you enjoy some pictures of an AWESOME daddy and and ADORABLE little boy!

2 months down June 2, 2007

It’s amazing how fast the days are going by. This past Thursday we celebrated Ezra’s 2nd month “birthday”, we weighed him, measured him, and daddy gave him a bottle- because he has been SO looking forward to sharing in the feeding time. Ezra grew a couple inches (20 to 22 3/4″), gained a few pounds (8 to 12lbs. 5oz.) and was still hungry after he finished his bottle with daddy! But it was a good day.

Each parent I speak to reminds us again of how quickly the time flies, and though I know it’s true, I wish there were some method or trick to making time slow down- just a little…Between sleeping, eating, diapers, baths, and play time- which consists of lots of smiling and cooing (funny side note- many people- young men in particular- think that “cooing” is actually a “coo” sound. it’s not at all . It is just really cute noises that make you want to squeeze your baby and kiss them all over the face), - and a few crying spells, the days blur together. One minute he was a tiny little baby, the next day he is a blossoming baby with a great personality, curiousity for the world around him, love of music, and super cute to boot!
