This month I’m starting a monthly self portrait. I’ve got friends who have done them and they are fascinating to look back and remember what they were doing in their life during each month. Plus, I barely get in photos these days, so I figure it would be fun for the kids to look back and remember what I looked like at this stage in their life.

So here’s me in January, 2011. I’m always on the go, pony tail (with a million hairs holding on for dear life sticking out) with baby carrier in one hand and Miles in the other. Oh and my cowboy boots on. Always my cowboy boots, those dear, dear soles. (Pun intended! My father would be proud.) Here’s my attempt at a playboy bunny pose, mom style.

This is the look I sport 90 percent of the time. Miles clearly appears to have to pee here, but is holding it until the verrrrrry last second. These days, he likes to live on the edge.

Here’s me on the go. You can’t catch me! Ok, maybe you can. Those baby carriers weigh a TON!

You would think as a photogapher I would know to face my body towards the light. Must remember that for next month’s challenge.

Ok, I’ve fooled around much too long and feeling 20 shades of guilty that I’m not showering or cleaning the kitchen with this precious pre-school time. Gotta GO!
