Thank you. It’s still trouble actually, because my curls are normally a frizzy mess. Product baby, product!

Thank you, thank you 😃 Hated them when I was young, learned to embrace them as an adult.

It’s a couple of months old, but here’s a photo of me and [my son](http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/skipmagic/skip-n-kiddo.jpg). By the time of that photo he wasn’t the happiest, but a few minutes before he [was smiling](http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/skipmagic/KiddoSmile.jpg).

According to **auntie em** , they cost about nine months. (Initially. I hear costs increase exponentially for the next eighteen years or so.)

Kids that age aren’t really able to handle a cross draw holster. Hip carry on the strong side is much better. 😃

Agreed. Great pictures!

What camera are you using? We got a 20D recently and I’m still trying to develop my motor-memory with it and kinda suck!

Yeah, I’m sorta known for flight jackets and hats.

Cutest. Photo. EVOR.

I love small children wearing grown-up accessories like newsboy caps. Too cute.

**SharkB8** , I’m using a Canon Rebel XTi with a Canon 50mm/2.5 for most of my portraits. I’m still learning to work with the whole remote-and-tripod setup, though… most of the time, I misjudge the framing and end up with just half my head, or the camera doesn’t focus on the right thing. Practice makes perfect, though. 🙂
