"A portrait of my child once a week each week in 2015"
We were sick this week - Cal with a bad cold and me with the flu. We spent lots of time indoors snuggling over board books and wiping our noses. Thanks to last-minute nanny help, I was able to rest and read a long novel I received for Christmas, All the Light We Cannot See, and loved it.

Cal stands by the front door every morning and afternoon, reaching for the knob, eager to get outside and explore.
My high school buddy Adrian couldn't have picked a more elegant, lovely woman with whom to make a baby. I'm so very happy for these two (and the pup, Ollie)!

Cal wakes at 7 every morning, anxious to get out of the crib after 13-14 hours, famished for breakfast. Can't blame him.
For my husband's 40th birthday, I surprised him with a mini family adventure just north of Santa Barbara. We've stayed at most of the fancy hotels in So Cal, plus I wanted to include our toddler as much as possible. And for one night away, camping would be way too much work. So glamping it was! We loved the location and will definitely go back for several nights next time.
How many people can say they love their sister's in-laws? I, for one, can. The second generation in this bunch, the grown "kids," decided to gift a family shoot to their parents for Christmas. I can't think of a more thoughtful surprise or of two more deserving grandparents!

Plays independently after breakfast while I clean the kitchen (and sometimes snap pics).
Another Mommy-and-Me friend asked me to take her family's photos. We enjoyed the park and hiking trails on a lovely hazy Malibu afternoon. This little guy LOVES swinging between his parents and could've flown through the air happily for hours and hours!
This week I'm kicking off my first 52 Project, a portrait of my child once a week, every week, in 2015. My Clickin' Moms workshop group prompted the idea, and the beautiful follow-through of mom-photographer-bloggers like Bleubird and The Stork and the Beanstalk has inspired me.
My intentions for this assignment are to:
And my reason for sharing it publicly is simply to seal my commitment.
Always happy to grab his "biya" for naps and bedtime and for the first time today asked for it between naps. I said no and explained that it's for sleeping only. He got over it.
A google search of this word yielded two pages of results, so I'm not as original as I sometimes like to think. Nonetheless it perfectly describes my little guy here, giving me the look he does countless times each day.
And here's a pull-back, including the full hand-me-down ensemble and the pot that needs to be replanted.
