7 Months and a big fat GRRRR!


Photo shoots are not as easy as they once were. I used to be able to pose him and he'd stay in a position long enough for me to snap a few pictures. Gone are the days of easy photo taking. I miss those days. I had big plans for his 7 month pictures... BIG plans! It started snowing right on cue. I dressed him up in his warm clothes and headed outside to take what I thought were going to be the cutest pictures ever. I plopped him down in the snow and hadn't even raised the viewfinder to my eyes when the wailing ensued. I took a few of him like that and tried to move him to no avail. Folks, my baby is the boss. So we retreated to the indoors. I fed him until he calmed down (just like his mommy - food can cure any ailment.) I put him down for a nap and decided to begin an impromptu photo session when he decided against taking a nap. :) I got three that I sort of like. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow for the outdoors pictures... but I'm not making any promises. So, here they are...


p.s. Thanks Rashel for the ESPN hat. It finally fits and we love it!

Here is the ONE picture we got in the snow:

Those look so good! I am jealous. You are so talented--I will have to contract with you to take baby M's pictures. I am tragic when it comes to taking pictures.

Oh these are darling! My fave is the one of him standing in his crib with his name over him. So stinking cute!

He sure looks like his dad, especially in the black and white pic.

Hey Ashley remember me(sara) from good old Logan. I just saw a link to your blog on Brynn's and thought I would say your baby is stinking cute and it looks like you guys are having a ton of fun.
