We've Moved!

If you're looking for Maternerdy, we've moved to:

Growing Up Hertz

since I'm not preggo anymore and I wanted a site dedicated mainly to the boys.

My Gorgeous Neighbor Pany

So, I had the awesome opportunity to photograph my neighbor, Pani, her adorable daughter, and beautiful friend Mariana... who was visiting from Germany and they wanted photos of the occasion. This was just around our apartment complex and we had so much fun doing it... shooting toddlers is so hard, because they're over it so fast, but she was a real trooper and even let us get in a costume change!

Keep checking this post as I continue to add more pics tonight, I used an 85mm lens, and it's delish.

Okay, so here's a sneak peek, because I couldn't just sit on this without sharing... she dropped the adorable bomb on me:


So how lucky was I? These were so much fun!







And wait until tomorrow when you see the gorgeous Mariana! <3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKGWflXnfMN4DTR4EGv4YGn8AeMpyHSo5UQeHx428nmI__xLOGNSd1epQb6BmzrZAlWAWp59oeu2DytEBxOFgHcNoRa3PKeXhBZ6G63IBYfdG0kLwO2cl6RDR73YdT8RPl5iUjlu1kWjM/s1600-h/20090228-IMG_5034February+28+2009.jpg">

Carrots

Phin has started solids and he's not a veggie fan, he must get that from me. I can't believe my littlest guy wants his own spoon and everything. I'll post more pics later, but I'll leave you with Carrotface.

To The Park!

So, yesterday we took a trek to a park that was much farther than it looked on the map. I got blisters and pictures. Yorick loves being outside so much, I can't wait until we can get a place with a yard... I'll only see him for lunches and naps at that point.

Stupid cat

If anyone feels they can't live another second without this cat... email me.
It's definitely doable.

Sitting.

One doesn't think of how to sit very often. It just comes natural.
Kind of mundane. It's something I do more than anything else, lol.
Everyone does it, it's no big deal.
But... for some people... they're just learning to sit.

And then it becomes amazing.

Window Bunny

So, I've been having so much trouble grasping "exposure"... it was constantly eluding me... I have been trying and trying and have been getting nothing but blur on my manual settings.

Until today.

My first pic on manual and taken in raw format.

This was taken in the window after his meanie big brother flipped him over on his back again.
