So I was asked if I was ever going to post again, and I decided that I indeed would.... as soon as I got the "perfect" pictures. But then I reconsidered based on the fact that it had been since the end of August and despite the massive amount of pictures I have taken in that time, I've come to accept the fact that I have an almost 2-year-old who is not yet capable of sitting perfectly still and smiling directly at the camera as I would like and therefore I will have very few "perfect" pictures. Not that I don't like other types of pictures and for me that's not what it's about anyway...
I cherish the pictures I do have, including the many that are blurry as he is almost always moving. I'm just thankful he has a cute profile since I seem to capture a lot of side views :). So in the spirit of non-perfect pictures, here's the attempt at Christmas-themed pictures. I figured by starting early I could get a handful of photo shoots in before the month was over!
The suit I got on clearance for $6.24 at the end of last season. I remember how excited I was when I got it and then thinking how long it would be before he could actually wear it!
Mason's "fancy shoes" as he calls them, which I picked up at a garage sale this summer.
New Christmas vest from Grandpa and Grandma!
He's actually just pretending to take a nap.
He has a lot of hair.... and right now he always has a lot of static going on. I apologize in advance if he accidentally shocks you or your kiddos!
He attempted to say "poinsettia". His version had the right number of syllables... just not in the right order :).
Static in the hair clearly visible!
He's still learning that I will continue to take pictures even if he attempts to hide.
Enjoying a mouthful of dried apricot, his photo shoot treat. We later noted that he may have had a bit too much :).
Singing... the lobby in Daddy's office has wonderful echoing capabilities.
