Just Pictures

Professional photo day:

Even though Alex is not sharing his smile here,

it was honestly the BEST one taken of the family photos. 

I didn't realize until AFTER the photos were done,

When we had planned our outfits

we were supposed to be holding the opposite kid.

Argh. 

Here is the ONLY one we managed to get 

of BOTH boys.

Another ARGH for mommy

Any one who has ever met Alex

or has heard me talk about him

knows that he has the most awesome smiles

BUT........

you have to earn them!

Nope

this poor photographer

didn't have a chance. 

As Alex's Uncle Alan says:

"this kid doesn't mess around."

But on another note,

doesn't he look so.....

gulp.....

grown up here?

Meet Nicholas

Here's the boy that DOES like

to mess around.......

This is his FAVORITE hat

He decided to put Alex's lovey on his head

all by himself.

Such a ham!!!!

Needless to say 

Mommy was very disappointed that we didn't get to capture

any of Alex's sweet expressions

So part two session by wannabe photographer (mommy)

commenced as soon as we got home:

Alex holding his lovey

in his mouth...

He usually only needs his lovey

at nap and bedtime

OR

traumatizing events

(like above photography session)

Here he comes.....

The Alex WE know and love so well

and since this has turned into a picture-fest,

here's a few more I just have to share:

Getting ready for Easter

Who is that Bucketed boot wearing boy?

Silly Nicholas ofcourse

We have tried to meet the Easter Bunny twice now

This is as close as we get

only puts on a smile

when he waves "bye-bye"
