getting big

One of my Christmas presents was a new lens for my trusty old Canon.  It is a 50mm f/1.8 and I thought it would help with all the pictures I take indoors.  Of Bo.  Yes, I needed something so I could take MORE pictures of our child.  

Last week . . . standing by the chair feeling like a big boy and LOOKING like a big boy! 

fall flashback

This Fall, Matt and I discovered several miles of walking paths that we hadn't realized existed.  One Sunday afternoon we headed out for a walk and I stuck the camera in the stroller as an afterthought.  It turned out to be a great photo session!

It didn't hurt that Bo had just received a pea coat and the hat/mitten set in the mail from Coco.

I think we took those in early November and I actually had them made into a Thanksgiving card to send to our families, since we couldn't celebrate with them.  Unfortunately the cards were late being delivered so I held the pics on reserve for our Christmas card if we didn't manage to get a family picture in time.  We did end up with a family picture so I framed the one of Bo standing by Matt's feet for the grandparents and had a couple of them enlarged for our gallery wall.  

So, lesson learned: when in doubt, bring the camera.  

38 weeks

He may or may not have been in his pj's at lunch time . . . just keeping things cozy!  

37 weeks

36 weeks

We are resorting to props to keep this child lying down on the ground for a minute.  He does love his dog, though!! 

week 35

So these next few weeks' worth of pics are a *representation of Bo at those weeks.  Perhaps we didn't quite get them done on the exact day over vacation.  Perhaps they didn't happen at all.  Perhaps one should think twice before committing to a 52-week project.  Perhaps I am revealing too much.
