Yummy Empanadas

I love me some yummy empanadas!  Especially when they’re in the form of this adorable babe’s chubby feet.  David Ortega’s grandma calls his feet little empanadas – and it’s so true, right?!  They really remind me of my trip to Buenos Aires last year and my daily morning empanadas (ok, late afternoon, but morning to me).  But don’t trust me, take a peek at pics from one hot lovely afternoon with the Ortega family at the South Coast Botanical Gardens and see for yourself :)

I’ve never seen a baby smile so often, so big, and so easily.  I just couldn’t get over my impulse to squeeze and bite him!  Is that what parents do when no-one’s around?  Rolls upon glorious rolls….

Okay, this one just makes me laugh silly.  He’s such a bruiser here.  Lol!

    What loving family pics. I agree, being a mom…we do squeeze and nibble on our baby’s toes, feet, arms etc.

    These pics just reminds me how precise our children are.

    Love you Christa,
    mom

    You are an excellent photographer Christa.

    I think these are the best pictures ever taken of our family. You really captured some wonderful things here…our love for little David, what a great smiler he is, the cute empanadas. We will cherish these pictures always and can’t wait to show them off to all our friends and family.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!
