Something I don’t do very often is post pictures of my kids. I don’t know why, maybe it’s the constant complaining about having their pictures taken, the refusal to look at the camera, or the irritated looks they give me when they do look.
I was looking at my youngest the other day and realized that my baby is growing up. The time is flying by and it’s depressing… He is my last baby and maybe that is why it’s especially difficult. I remember with my first I just couldn’t wait for the next milestone and now she is in middle school! Since I am a photographer it’s easy for me to document his life. I try to stress to my clients how important it is to document more than just newborn photos. It doesn’t have to be professional photos it can be just a simple point and shoot, although, it is a good idea to get professional photos at least once a year.
if I could keep him four forever I would.. I love four because…
Because he’s not a baby but he isn’t a big boy either.
Because mommy kisses are not gross.
Because he’s honest. “Mommy you look fluffy.”
Because he he forgives me when I take a picture before wiping the soap out of his eyes.
Because he tells me I am “cute” at least three times a day.
Because he likes peanut butter and jelly in critter shapes.
Because he still has chubby baby knuckles.
Because he wants to be just like his daddy.
Because he can’t relax until he has his hand on my cheek.
Because no matter how hard I try he can still kick my butt at Mario Cart.
