18 months & counting...

Mitchell turned 18 months on the 11th. I decided I need to post the pictures we had done of him during his first year. This reminded me that I really need to get them done again!

I'm lucky to have two cousins very talented in photography.

The first set of pictures is Mitchell in his blessing outfit. They were taken when he was 5 or 6 weeks old. He would NOT wake up for the pictures. He was so sweet!


These next few were in November, so he was about 4 1/2 months old.

These were taken in April when Mitchell was 9 months old. He'd had his first haircut & unfortunately a bit too much had been taken off (mostly in back which luckily did not show in the picture). He was just balancing on the chair.

I had these done right after his birthday. He was not walking or really even standing yet. It was a hot & humid July evening.

This was Mitchell a two Sundays ago all gussied up for starting nursery at church (yes, I did stick him in a couple of weeks early!). He did great until the last 20 minutes or so, then he was done. This past week he would not even go into nursery since he'd been traumatized from locking himself in a clerk's office during sacrament meeting. Hopefully he'll try nursery again in a few weeks!

Mitchell on the 11th. He looks sweet & innocent, but really he's not. See the upside down stools in the background? That's to prevent him from climbing up them to the kitchen counter. We do love our little dude even though he keeps us hopping (and really needs a haircut)!
