Nine months of Growing

It's hard to believe that it's been a little over nine months since I took this photo. A photo that truly describes this family. All it takes is an "I love you" and you know just how much this mom and dad love their little man.

Over the last twelve months I have followed this family through photos as they have grown from a newly wed couple to a brand new mom and dad with one of the happiest kids I've ever met. Nine months ago this little man entered this world and he has been a joy to photograph. There were those photo shoots I would say it was me, or that he just didn't want his photo taken. Then, all of a sudden on one shoot it happened! He smiled when I walked in the door and we have been best buddies ever since. I truly believe that knowing when I child is ready to have his or her photo taken, and when he or she is not, makes all the difference in the quality of the photo that you are able to capture.

I wanted to take the time to show what "Nine months of growing" looks like. It's so amazing to me that we grow from smaller than a grain of rice to a six pound bundle of joy in nine months. Then from a wiggly squirmy six pound baby to a babbling, smiling laughing bouncing baby boy! Just a few more months and you'll get to dive into a BIRTHDAY CAKE!
