Party On

We had a little party for Rex on Saturday in honor of his birthday. (We're already teaching him to stretch out his birthday to make it last.) Here are the official birthday cake shots.

He started off in a dainty kind of way, just dipping in his fingers.

Then he found a more efficient way to get the cake in.
He ended up pretty covered, but I liked the chocolate facial hair phase the best.

Stats

Today was Rex's one year appointment and here are his stats:

Weight: 25%

Height: 97%

Head Size: 95%

Crankiness: 99%

As pictured below, Rex has been a little crabby lately. That's why the photo shoot didn't feature any pictures of him. Not everyone adores pictures like this...

In Black and White

I played around with some editing stuff on some of the pictures from the previous shoot. Here they are.

High on a Mountain Top

I was talking to Cassie yesterday about how I would love to learn more about photography and she said she'd let me shoot her boys. So, we headed up the canyon today with a camera and a picnic. Here's some of my favorite shots. The problem is, when you love someone, you think every shot is adorable. I had a hard time picking just a couple.

Here's little Cooper bundled in white.

He is a sweet baby and his mommy is in love.
She is also in love with this little red head.
Cam thought this bridge over the water was pretty cool.
I'm pretty crazy about the little red head, too.
Here's his crazy little oufit we dressed him in.
Here's a couple more of Coop. There was this perfect little beam of light on his soft face.
So soft.
Cam was a real trooper. He let me take lots of pictures and he even smiled on command!




Well, that's it for now. Feel free to tell me which pics you like the best. I'm still trying to learn this new skill.

Happy Birthday Rex!!!

It doesn't seem like he could be possibly be a year old, but at the same time it's hard to remember life without the little man. We are so grateful for the joy he has brought into our lives...more than I ever could have imagined. Here's one great year in a glance.

Tiny Toes

I used to absolutely hate feet. I freaked out when people touched me with them. Now, I have a set of feet that I can't get enough of. I love how Rex crosses his little feet wherever he sits. I took this picture while he was sitting on my lap. By the time he gets to be a sweaty teenager, I have a feeling his feet might not be so cute to me anymore.

My Little Sunshine

Well, it's been a long day. Jeff and I both got what Rex had. Now I feel even worse for him. It was bad. Rather than post a picture of how horrible we look, I thought I'd post one I edited for fun while I was stuck on the couch. Here's my little sunshine.
