Catching Up

As some of you may have noticed in my Facebook account, I am catching up on baby photos. I am a little bummed that I didn't take lots of glamour shots of Lucas and Nathan when they were smaller--when they were sleepier and fuzzier, when presumably it was easier to have them pose.

But I guess I haven't really missed the window of opportunity that much. I like it that Lucas can now look at the camera and smile. And when he is sleeping, he doesn't wake up so easily when I move him so I can still pretty much do whatever I want, including setting him up with a cute pose. I guess I got lucky because he does cooperate and I am taking full advantage of it before he changes and becomes camera-shy (I heard most little boys do).

This photo of Lucas made it to etsy.com. This is where I bought his Christmas hat. The vendor asked if I can send a photo of her product being used and so I did. The vendor liked the photo and so she asked if she can use it on her web page. In exchange for it, she will give me a free hat of my choice--anything I like, even a customized one. I liked the idea of a trade! And the free hat would only mean another good photo opp. Besides that, the winter is coming and Lucas can definitely use a nice hat to keep his head warm.

The very day the vendor posted the photo, she sold out her Christmas hats! She asked for my website so she can promote my work. I said I don't have one so she featured me in her blog instead. She called me a "photographer". She is very kind.

About 15 minutes ago, my cousin gave birth to a healthy, bouncy baby boy. I have been monitoring her progress all day and I am so relieved that she is finally through it. I am so thrilled for her and her hubby and so excited to meet their little guy. I can't wait for her baby photos!

Photo: Lucas showing his angelic (kuno) pose. Because of this photo, my colleagues are now calling him "Baby Einstein" for obvious reasons. I hope he will get Einstein's brain too! :-)
