The new toy

So after having Sears screw up our Christmas/One month portraits of DJ a second time we decided to forgo continuing with professional pictures and to just do our own.  To do that we needed a really good camera so after researching and testing out a ton of them we decided on a Canon Rebel EOS T3!  I am amazed at the quality of the pictures and how easy it is to use!  Out of the box we began playing with it and have some beautiful pictures of DJ and his cousin Harrison after just 10 minutes.  We were debating between the Nikon D3100 and this camera but we both found the Canon much easier to use not to mention the shutter speed was faster.
DJ is doing good, he is trying to stand in our laps now and is much better at holding his head up.  He slept through the night Saturday!  He had a good 8, almost 9, hour stretch.  Tim woke up and looked at the clock then jumped up to check on DJ because he couldn't believe that he slept so long :)  Right now he is in his soother next to me playing with all the toys I attached to the toy bar.  It has 3 but since he sometimes would rather be in there than being up and playing or in the Boppy pillow I decided to make it more interesting with him.  He is getting to that point where he needs a little bit of alone time everyday to play by himself :(  My little boy is growing up!  I remember just a few weeks ago when he wanted to be held all the time.  Last night he did want to be held for most of the night though.  We had a rare January thunderstorm and he was scared by all the light flashes and thunder booms. 
Well I'm off until next time, whenever that may be....
