Grant Henry Kelley - 7 Months

Poor kid.  One of these months I'll be on task.  It's coming up on his 8th month and I'm JUST now getting around to this post.  Once again, I DID in fact take his photos on time.. just took nearly a month to get them on here.  And as you can see, the chair didn't last.  Dude almost took a header reaching for the carpet so I decided it wasn't worth the fight and let him do his thing.  :)  

Not yet crawling but he sure does like pushing up like he's gonna take off at any moment.  :)  

So.. here's my sweet boy who turned 7 months on March 11th :)  

What's a Mom To Do..??

What's a mom to do when a photo shoot doesn't go quite as planned and smiles were few and far between??

Take your own pictures!

With as many pictures as I take (daily, non stop... ALWAYS!) it should come as no surprise to anyone that I just HAD to try my hand at getting some smiles captured with our real camera for Grant's half birthday.  With Valentine's Day being just 3 days before he turned 6 months, I took the opportunity to continue the heart theme at home.  

Luckily for me (and you ;) I'm stubborn.  It took THREE separate sessions (in one day) to get pictures I was finally satisfied with.. This BOY!! I swear..lol.

Thankfully though, I caught it.  FINALLY.  The perfect smile.  That cheesy grin.  That sideways glance.  It is everything.

The whole series of photos can probably do with some color editing and all that mess...but lets be real here.  Who has time for that?!

 

Grant's 6 Month Professional Photo Shoot

As we did for Everleigh when she turned 6 months old, we enlisted a professional to help capture this time in his life and celebrate our bear's half birthday.  Unfortunately, our normally SUPER smiley Mr. Man wasn't so smiley no matter how goofy and silly we made ourselves look to all the people passing by .. Booooo..Hisssss..

I'm honestly not surprised though.  Everleigh was the exact same way for her 6 month shoot.  I swear our two bears are already devising ways to make us nuts.  ;)  Haha.. 

Thankfully, we did get a handful of sweet looks and if I must say myself, his "SERIOUS" face is pretty darn cute too.  

Now.. on with the show.  

Grant Henry Kelley - 5 Months

Only 3 weeks late this time! Goooo ME!  Is it sad that I feel pretty dang proud of that fact?  Poor 2nd child.  

Once again, without further ado...Here's our sweet handsome bear, who turned 5 months on January 11th :)
