I love that Sidekick is all boy! I love that he has no fears, loves to wrestle, and now I've found out, he loves to get dirty. My sister gave me her amazing camera when she bought a new one, and I've been so intimidated by it and all it's functions that I haven't really used it. Last night was a beautiful night, so we went outside to play, and I let him have fun, explore, and get dirty. I found that it's much more fun to take pictures of him now that he actually does things like... move around! : ) Surprisingly, I ended up with a few good pics (below). I guess using a good camera requires a lot of practice (and patience with a 15 month old). Maybe I'll go out and try again tonight. I have to figure out why some pictures were darker than others, how to get the flash to go off when needed, how to edit, etc. Now I have another thing on my long list of things to do.

| Digging in the Dirt like a Dog (I think he needs a non-furry sibling). See the dirt in the air under his butt??? |

| Showing his independence and walking away (although still looking back for his momma!) |



Great photos--I take a lot of photos of my boys walking away from the camera, I love the effect. Enjoy your little BOY!
