For 7 weeks, 1 day, 1 hour, and 25 minutes, I have been a mother.\u00a0 What an adjustment and an experience it has been!\u00a0 Sleep, nurse, and change diapers – those are my day-to-day activities!\u00a0 Instead of the Jodi Picoult novels I usually love to read, I am reading books that I haven’t picked up since my own childhood.\u00a0 The Pokey Little Puppy is my favorite!\u00a0 Tonight we start our Kindermusik classes (visit kindermusikontheriver.kindermusik.net, it should\u00a0be lots of fun!),\u00a0and\u00a0I am learning\u00a0sign language for babies\u00a0to be able to communicate with him\u00a0well before he\u00a0can talk.\u00a0 I love tummy time, and waiting for him to fall asleep so that I can take beautiful sleeping\u00a0baby pictures.\u00a0 I find that my cell\u00a0phone camera works just as well as my 5D in a pinch, even if the images are much tinier and not nearly the quality.<\/p>\n

Outside of motherhood, I’ve shot two weddings since having him, and am completely booked for the month of October with weddings and engagement sessions.\u00a0 I’ve met with a lot of wonderful brides for their 2009 weddings, and am actively planning the small photographer meetup for the end of October.\u00a0 Devan and I are making plans for WPPI ’09 in Vegas for February, and I am waiting (impatiently) for the new Canon 5D to be released in a few weeks so that I can get my hands on it!<\/p>\n

I had to buy a new laptop after my old one was dropped a few too many times, and I don’t have many images moved over to this one yet (they are all on the desktop and I am too tired to go to the other room to get it!), but wanted to share one of my favorites shots of our little man.\u00a0 This was taken at 13 days old.\u00a0 Travis and I were setting up a shot in our nursery, and I had laid Maddox down to get myself into position.\u00a0 I about fell over when I saw him lift his little head and hold it way up!\u00a0 I was fortunately already laying on the ground, so I grabbed my camera and started shooting.\u00a0 Isn’t he so handsome?\u00a0 He’s so much larger now, and I promise I’ll post more images soon!<\/p>\n
