I suggest you to start w/ something like a DA35/2.4 and see how you like it. Better don't jump to a lens like FA31. I agree it's a very good lens, fantastic actually. But if you use it like a cheap kit lens, it'd give you results like from a cheap kit lens. A lot guys bought the FA31 but ended up regret 'cause they didn't see much improvement in the photos they took.
And the plastic DA35/2.4 can do wonder if you use it well, more than enough for capturing photos of your beautiful kids

I agreed with bro fw...i started off with da35 f2.4 and it is a gd lens.

I second this.
Another option is the beautiful 40mm f/2.8 XS which is so small. You'd probably keep it even if you get a 31mm or 43mm later on anyways.

V.good advice.
This has been my observation too.
Some guys, just start off too agressively and buy lots of expensive stuff.
Then 'photos don't improve', they become very bitter.
Just start w/ the tested and proven and more affordable lenses.
DA35, DA50, 40XS, tamron 17-50, etc
Move on when you are more ready.

Am quite junior here but i would like to share my little thoughts too...da35 da50 da40xs actually is not lousy lens imho. I used da35 and da40xs b4 and pics quality is there good. I still keep my da40xs cos it is so compact i love it. The only thing is the built quality but for me compare to other c or n budget 50mm...i guess ours is better built. Jus my opinion and 2 cts worth....and i learn alot here in pentax forum. Thx bros cheers
Those C & N cheap 50mms? Can only look at photos taken with them (pretty good). Better not touch or look at the lens itself.
Seems to be made from plastic recycled from my daughter's toys.
But to be fair, they are cheap.
The DA un-limited primes are good indeed.
My most expensive lens currently is the 10-17mm fisheye at about $580 or so from HK (I actually paid $700 or so for the Sigma 10-20 but that was retired and replaced by the second-hand Tamron 10-24 that I use now).. Everytime I see L lens prices my heart breaks. :bsmilie:
Build quality aside, I think the Canon version also has minor bokeh issues. IIRC the Canon 50mm f/1.8 II has 5 blades (which isn't horrible but it can be distracting at times).Those C & N cheap 50mms? Can only look at photos taken with them (pretty good). Better not touch or look at the lens itself.
