The mom paparazzi

My new camera came in the mail Monday afternoon, and it was love at first shot:

Someone else wasn't as much of a fan, though:

My family was complaining that I haven't been taking enough photos of Jude. Hubs pointed out, "If you can take YOUR photo almost every day, why can't you take Jude's?" Good point! Now that momma's got a new camera, this kid needs to start hamming it up.

Almost...

That's better!

Let's hope that my self-style photos will improve now, too. I may take photography lessons next month, but in the meantime I've had my nose buried in the manual. This is already very exciting!
