Ari's "6" month photos

Life got away from me, I also really wanted to use my new camera to do his photos so they really happened when he was 7 months but that is ok. 

These photos really show his personality. He is that kid that will make a lot of silly faces. 

Splits.............

 

I wanted to recreate this set up with him to show how much he had grown....he will always be my little patriotic baby because of his due date. 

 

 

These are one of my favorite things to do of the kids. I have been trying to do one of them each year. I wish I would have started sooner with Eli but that is ok.

We were almost done with pictures and he wanted to eat and crashed so I took the opportunity to take some of him sleeping.

  

Many times I get parents asking to edit out kids faces if they are have dry skin or a little redness. Most of the time I don't notice and it does not need done. As I edited his photos I knew he had rosy red cheeks that I had put lotion on already. I considered smoothing them but decided against it. I like to remember that about him. All of the kids have had rosy chapped cheeks in the winter. I always forget about it until it is winter and we have a baby in the house. I want to look back at these photos and remember that. Their cheeks are so chubby and cute you can't help but kiss them!

 I can't believe six months has already flown by. He has 5 teeth with another almost through. He is crawling everywhere and pulling himself up on furniture. He is a very SILLY child and loves to play with Eli. If he does not like something he screams. He also still sleeps with us at night. He starts in his own bed but wakes up to eat so ends up with us. He loves to snuggle and kiss us. We love and adore him!
