Sweater Weather

Today was the first time L wore long sleeves. Honestly I'm so over summer. It wasn't kind to me, at first it was all great and dandy butAnyway, me & the kiddo we're exploring our backyard. Well it's not actually ours, it communal but we like to pretend. I put on his cute raincoat (salvation army 2.99) and got stepping outsid then shit got real. So I'm happy to see summer go. I'm gonna welcome Fall with this post, even though we still have a couple of weeks left till fall. 

We finished the day eating some yummy dirt :) 

See ya summer..I'm done with ya

Birthday week..DAY-DOS!!

Pictures throught the months ..
He has changed sooo much!!
I love him to pieces

rumbunctious

Birthday week DAY-UNO!

So I've expressed my goal & dream to one day become a photographer.

Obviously I have practiced on my kiddo many many times

And I will continue to practice on him. 

While I'm not even remotely ready to be a professional 

L allowed me to do his birthday pictures

I clearly gave him a family discount ; )

I took him to a forest preserve

Along with balloons

Him dressed so damn cute, with a bow and all

and I started shooting,

I still have to edit a lot, In order for me to like my silly little pictures

I know They aren't the best focused or sharp

My equipment isn't there yet

But still I tried to capture him smiling 

I'm starting to realize, Photography is hard.

Yet I will continue to pursue the dream.

These are the pictures I took of my son for his invite, I feel kinda silly because I feel anyone can do this. 

This one ultimately made it to the invite, not sure why but I loove it (below)

Haircut pictures

I have to admit that I wasn't feeling it a first.

After she was done butchering my sweet love

my first thought was..Dreadful 

I know I'm supposed to always think my child is beautiful

but I can still be critical of someone else's work.

It has grown on me, and now love it

I love it because it is him not because the haircut itself suddenly was good.

She wasn't a very good stylist, but she tried.

Next time we shall go some where else

All grown up :/

THIS WILL TAKE SOME TIME GETTING USED TO....

Just because they are cute!

                                 Seeing these two together melts my heart. Love them to pieces!

We officially live in the zoo.
