It's a Sony alpha NEX-C3 and I love it! I'm sure I'm only using it to about 5% of it's capability, but I was so thrilled with it. It's small, light, and very easy to use when traveling. I especially love it for portrait-type photos like the one you mentioned.

Loved your Mother's Day photo. I think you're heading in the right direction, loving him silly. He'll need even more once baby makes his way here. I'm a little nervous about how my daughter will take to being the big sister in a couple of months, but I'm confident that as long as she's showered in the love she knows best, it'll all work out great.
