I have done a post like this before. Often, in the process of trying to get a "good" photo, I capture these fun faces. And sometimes I just have to share!
Lol! Do you think he's imitating Mommy in that last one?

The faces of Drew, part 2
Today's post is not a photography class post (so no judging the quality of my photos), but it does include numerous pics, as usual (because, let's be honest, I don't think you come here to read my blog).

The one with no theme
I have had several things floating around in my head that I have wanted to write about, but none of them go together... at all... so today you will be treated to a completely off-the-wall post.
Piece of Randomness #1: Drew, even when in a giggly, playful mood, almost instantly shoves his thumb in his mouth and rests his head on my shoulder when I turn on his lullaby music. I love it!
Piece of Randomness #2: Last week at work I was chatting with a co-worker. Another co-worker interrupted to ask me a quick question. When I turned to answer, I heard co-worker #1 whispering behind my back to another woman. She then whispered "ah... I gotcha!". When I returned to the first conversation, co-worker #1 asked me how old my baby was (our previous conversation had nothing to do with Drew). My suspicion was that she was asking if I was pregnant and was instead told that I had just had a baby. I know most likely I'm just being over-sensitive and self-conscious over my still somewhat flabby tummy. But, in response, I've been buckling down and getting to work once again on these abs.
To my delight, on the other hand, two women yesterday made me feel pretty good about how I look. One gave me a piece of chocolate so she would avoid the temptation of eating it herself. I told her I would certainly enjoy it as I have a very big sweet tooth, to which she responded "you wouldn't know it by looking at you!". The other woman told me that if I hadn't told her I'd just had a baby, she would have never known. She said I show no signs of having had a baby. I told her how I've just started working on my abs because I was thinking just the opposite, and she insisted that I look great.
While I still think my belly could use some work, it was nice to get a little self-esteem kick when I was needing it most!
*Please note* I do NOT think I need to lose weight. You may remember me commenting that I'm already below my pre-pregnancy weight, which, as a CFer, is actually not a good thing. Instead of weight loss, I'm thinking more along the lines of recovering a little of my pre-pregnancy shape.
Piece of Randomness #3: In my job I test students from all over the world as they register to attend school in my county. I have to give them a simple 15 minute math test, then a more extensive English test to see what, if any, ESOL services (English for Speakers of Other Languages) they need. We have students who come from India, for example, who can speak English very well, and others who come from refugee camps and have had very little schooling at all, let alone any English skills. Yesterday I was supposed to test a refugee from Haiti. He had completed grade 4.... before the earthquake. Now, he can't write. He can't talk. He can hardly walk. He suffered severe brain damage and no one, not even the doctors, knew how much he can actually do. It made me so sad. I wasn't able to really give him the test, but this incident brought to my attention the fact that everything is not all better in Haiti. It won't be for a very long time. Many of us have already forgotten about what happened. I did! I had to look up on Google to find out when the earthquake was (it was just over a year ago, actually, January 12th, 2010). I say all of this to just say, please keep Haiti in your thoughts and prayers. There is still a lot of healing and recovery in their future.
Piece of Randomness #4: Some of Drew's 6 month photos have been posted! If you're on Facebook, you can check them out here. While you're there, please "like" Doll Eyes Photography because Cassie is fabulous! Thank you once again, Cassie!! (You may remember that Cassie did my maternity photos and Drew's newborn photos too, both of which may be found in my sidebar)
Piece of Slightly Less Randomness #5: This is the only one that's related to anything, because the pictures above reminded me. Drew has a new face he likes to make- an angry face. I think this is another "Bad Awnt Laura" trait because it resembles the "Simpson Scowl" an awful lot! Drew puckers his lips while scrunching his nose, then he "huffs and puffs" loudly. I can't help but laugh every time he does it. I actually think it's a good thing, though, that he's finding ways other than crying to convey his emotions. Check out his "Simpson Scowl" (is he allowed to have a "Simpson" scowl??)
I am not sure where he learned this.... do I make this face?? Or is Bad Awnt Laura really doing her Bad Awnt thing and teaching him little tricks behind my back?
*Another note* Before I had a chance to post this, my sister made this comment on the above photo on Facebook: "Oh my gosh! That is such a Diane face!". Haha, I guess I DO make that face. But for real? I don't feel like I've done it around him....

Smile!
Seeing as I devoted a whole post to Drew's pout, I figured I should devote one to his smile too!
It sure can be hard to get good pictures of his smile though! He smiles when I'm in his face making googly sounds, but as soon as I put a camera in front of my face he stops smiling and starts looking scared or confused....

Faces of Drew
I have a few "series" of pictures of Drew. Sometimes I'm trying to get a smile, or some other specific face. Other times I simply have fun seeing what faces I can catch on camera. Check out some of the fun ones I've caught! All the photos are in the same order in which they were taken.
