Ian's One-Year Portraits

 I took my sweet little Ian to the JCPenny Portrait studio to have his 1-year portaits taken.  I have to say that this was one of our best sessions!  Almost all of the pictures were print-worthy.  But I won't give the photographer too much credit; its hard to make a face this cute look bad.  The only pictures that didn't look as good were the ones that I am in.

 Dance, baby dance!

  I have one just like this of me and Gabe!

 Love this one!

 Awww!

 Love this.  Cute in any filter!

 I love this one too, particularity in the sepia.

 But I got a print out of this one, to go along with...

...this one!  Any edits done at JCPenny are 3X the price.

My favorite.  It is hanging on my wall.

Love this too!

Ian is especially darling.  I love his ginger-tinted curls.  And his beautiful, vibrant blue eyes.  And his sweet button nose.  And perfect ears.  And pouty lips.  And chubby pink cheeks.  And strong eye- brow line.  I love his chubby belly and his short little legs. I love his fat feet and big ol' hands.  Yep.  I really doesn't get cuter than this one.  And these are just Ian's physical traits.  Ian is so very sweet and very loving.  He is a busy-body and loves getting into things.  He is so curious about the world and loves to mimic his siblings. He is happy, happy, happy! It is so easy to get him to smile or laugh. He doesn't say many (okay, any) real words but he makes all sorts of very loud noises! He is an okay sleeper.  We are still working on that.  He loves putting things into other things (i.e. a piece of crayon into a cup).  He loves watching Mother Goose Club.  He still loves to nurse! He is very good-natured and easy going. Ian eats more than Gabe and Elisa combined.  And for that reason, he gets his diaper changed quite a bit! We love Ian!!
