..we just hate our camera

I feel bad because I haven't posted nearly as much about Ethan as I had posted about Liam when his was first born. I blame it on the fact that we just hate our camera. It is really frustrating to take pictures. We take multiple pictures of the same things and usually end up with mediocre ones at best. Plus we always miss what we were taking a picture of, so forgive our lack of posting, going through our pictures is kind of depressing--any suggestions on cameras?
For example this is the first time Liam held Ethan. The look on his face was priceless..did I get the picture? Nope, I got this...

I did get a picture of the first time Liam held Ethan, it just isn't priceless.

This is just minutes after Ethan was born, I can't believe how much he's changed.

This is Ethan just under 2 weeks old. His eyes are clearing up, and his face is no longer swollen.

He looks so big in this picture.

This is how he usually sleeps, his arms under his chin.

Liam is deciding whether or not to give Ethan his "binks"

This was taken today. Ethan is 23.25 in and 11 lbs 15.5 ounces. Wide eyed and adorable.

He's met almost all of his grandparents...my dad needs to get down here!



While Tom's parents were here we went to the caves...this is the only picture that turned out... and we took a lot of pictures. I guess if any of you want to see Carlsbad Caverns you'll have to come visit us, we'll take you!

Liam is the best big brother. He doesn't get jealous of Ethan at all. He is always telling me when the baby is crying or when the baby is sad. He makes sure Ethan always has a binky close by. I can't wait until Ethan is old enough to play with Liam, it's going to be fun.

..and (from Tom) GO UTES!!!

So so cute! You just need to freeze him until Christmas, which is probably when I'll finally get to see him!

I am so glad you and Ethan are doing great, and that Liam loves being a older brother!

Growing up in NM I went to the Caverns when I was a kid!!! I so want to take my kids. Maybe next summer when we hope to go back to Texas and NM with Elder Gary. He is in Portales now, only about 2 hours north of you!

You have such cuties for kids!

Ethan's sure a handsome little guy! I love the picture of him sleeping with his arms under his head. :) I'm glad Liam is liking being a big brother too. I'm sorry your camera is being crappy - Here's my two cents - I love love love my Nikon D40. It wasn't real cheap, but they have better deals on them every year. It's getting to be an older model now but I like it better than some of the new Nikons I've tried. We got it three years ago and I usually take around 500 pics a month, and I've always been happy with it.

He's such a cutie. I love his little cheeks. Cameras can be the worst, that's why I caved in and bought one I shouldn't have.
