I ♥ Faces - Week 38 - Blue

Well, it's a good thing for I ♥ Faces, because it's the only posting I'm doing these days. I was hoping to take a new picture for this week's challenge, but I ran out of time.

So, I'm going to submit this shot of my favorite little model, Jack. This was taken a few months ago, before he was walking, when his favorite thing to do was to climb up the stairs. He'd go up, someone would carry him down, and he'd go up again.



I figured this works for the blue challenge since he was rocking his ADORABLE blue plaid shirt. What a stud.

I ♥ Faces - Week 36 - Contemplative Faces

This week's I ♥ Faces challenge is for "contemplative" faces. As soon as I saw that, I knew which picture I wanted to post.



I took about 30 different pictures of my cousin's son Jack devouring his little cake at his first birthday party last month. Looking back through the pictures was so fun. Some of the pictures showed pure joy, some showed nothing but his face stuck in the cake, and a few, like this one, look contemplative.

Why's everybody staring at me - can't a man just eat his cake in peace?

Why are the making me wear this stupid hat? Is this a punishment? Hmm, what have I done wrong lately?

I wonder if this cake is going to give me a tummyache...

How am I going to get that icing out of my ears and nose?

Oh, to be able to listen to the thoughts of small children!

Photoshopping babies

My cousin's son turned one last week, so there was a big birthday party for him over the weekend. Full report and pictures to come, but for now, here are a couple of pictures that I've been playing around with on Photoshop. The first one is Jack, the birthday boy, and the other is Ben, a friend's 4 month old. Such cuties!

Does that come in my size?

My cousin's wife is pregnant with their first child, which will mark the first grandchild on my dad's side of the family. Over the weekend we had a baby shower, where the mommy-to-be received some ADORABLE gifts. And really -- I would like some of those clothes in my size.











I can't wait to meet this baby!
