i ♥ faces: beautiful eyes

I love this picture of my little Wesley, who just so happens to be 2 and not so little anymore! I think I enjoy it so much because you can see his two tone eye in this photo. He never lost that cool feature either! One day, I imagine his soul mate will look into his eyes and be totally in love with the splice of a different color in his left eye. For the record, I once looked up what this was called, but I forgot its name, yet it turns out it is really rare. It is actually more common to have two eyes that are totally different colors than to have one eye that shares a color. So, my boy is a true gem :O)

i ♥ faces: friendship

Daniel enjoys people, just like his mommy. He can find a friend in a room full of strangers. This kiddos above though really is his buddy. Since we’ve moved, we miss sweet Carver. Being that Caver’s mommy and daddy have a special place in my heart, I know Carver will stay in Daniel’s life. I know this isn’t the best photo in the world, but it certainly makes me smile.

i ♥ faces: water

i ♥ faces- Surprise!

So I know this is not the best quality of a photo but it fits the theme of SURPRISE! all too well:

What’s in that bag and why such a look of shock? Well, it is our first positive pregnancy test, and Thomas had no clue that it was coming his way, as part of his birthday celebration. It was perfect timing and such an awesome moment, being that I knew what was in the bag and I was ready with camera in hand. There was a second photo right after this one that was full of glee but I had to choose just one, so I went with this one. I mean, just think of the surprise of first opening a silly DVD and then the next package tells you that you are going to be a daddy…….Surprise!

Be sure to see how other folks have captured a surprising moment:

**edit to add–this was taken 4 years ago this past March when we discovered we were pregnant with out first child. I am NOT pregnant now :O)

i ♥ faces- Play

This is my little Wesley a splishin’ and a splashin’. I love how he is scrunching his face to avoid the water. I just posted this pictures in another post before I realized how well it would work for this week’s theme at i heart faces. Check out how others have captured play by clicking on the icon below:

I can’t believe that cutie above is about to turn one year! Where has the time gone….seriously? He has blessed our lives so much. God is good, my friends. :O)

i ♥ faces- Yellow

This photo is from around my first official Mother’s Day. I had asked Thomas to take photos of me and Daniel as part of my celebration. They all turned out awful. Simply awful. Not because of his photo abilities but because I had an ugly hair day and a zit. This stupid goose kept messing up the staging, and if I looked decent in one, Daniel had one eye closed and the other half open. If he got his act together, I was a mess. Figuring all was lost for me, I told Thomas to switch sides, at which point I got behind the camera and captured this shot. It makes my heart happy. Guess I got what I wanted after all!

i ♥ faces- smiles

Not only is this a toothy, smiling little boy, it is a very truthful one, just read his t-shirt. (For those unable to read it, it says, “My Mom is hot.”) See, told you he was honest ;o)

i ♥ faces- angles

This is a picture of Daniel playing in his crib when he was about the same age Wesley is now. Ironically, before I knew the theme this week, I was in Wesley’s room today thinking about these pictures of Daniel and how I needed to get some shots of Wesley just being silly in his crib as well. While looking at the photos, I realized how differently my two boys look. Right now, Wesley has two teeth on the bottom, just peeking out from the gum. Little Daniel had not a single one at this point, which some of the photos prove. Anyway, this shot works because it is at a different angle :O). I never do anything with the color of photos other than convert to black and white, mainly because I do not know how. This time, however, I managed to figure something out and altered the colors some, just for the heck of it. In the original it is very vibrant. I am not sure if I like it muted this much, but I still love it because it has my son in it.

Enjoy my not so little any more first born son when he actually was still little. My, my it all goes so quickly. I am glad to have so photos to remember it all by!
