So I know it’s not Christmas yet, but Santa came early for me!

I (finally) got a “grownup” camera.  No more iPhone camera for this girl.  I am now the proud owner of a Cannon RebelT3.  Honestly, I don’t even know what that means but I’m so excited to learn.  I can’t wait to be able to capture L growing up (I mean, the iPhone camera is good but the fun Mommy and Me photo shoots we can have make me giddy like a girl who just got asked to prom by Jake Ryan!).

My only regret?  That I didn’t buy this camera last year during Black Friday.  I missed almost a whole year of being able to take amazing pictures of L.

He was pretty excited about Mommy’s new camera too.

“What is that thing, Mommy?”

“You don’t need the instructions, right?”

So now the question is – how the heck do I learn how to use my new camera?  I’ve heard YouTube has some good videos but if anyone would like to share some beginner tips, I’m all ears!

And because I just couldn’t resist.  Here are a few more shots of the little man.

So now I want to know – What are you asking Santa for this year?
