Collin's 12 Month Pictures

Despite it being really hot and humid outside and needing a nap, Collin did really well this morning while he had his 12 month pictures taken. The setting was the local arboretum which I cannot believe I had not discovered yet....we are definately going back for some long walks!

We got some great shots of him near a log, sitting on a log and exploring the twigs, leaves and other things laying on the ground. Daddy, he did get his fiber intake for the day. :) I then placed him near a tree and he tried to stand on his own for a brief moment but the ground was sloped a little and it was hard for him to take his balance. We will have to see if the photographer caught the moment. The next spot was a long bridge that he enjoying race-crawling back and forth on. We then changed his clothes and headed to the bog so he could watch the fish and minnows swim along. It was during these shots that he started to get cranky. I don't blame him either. We were both really sweaty and he was hungry and needed a nap. As soon as we got home, he devoured his food and he has been sleeping for about 45 minutes already. Here are a few pictures I took to give you and idea of the setting....


Here he is with the photographer, Kelley. She and her husband, Dustin, used to be our neighbors. She started her own photography business, kd loftis photography (http://www.kdloftisphotography.com/), after she had her first child, Amelia. It was really fun to see her again.












Later that night: Collin did end up taking an almost 3 hour nap after his pictures this morning. The "little bug" was REALLY tired!
