Picture perfect!

Today was picture day, and let me assure you -- it was exhausting! Holy cow.... It is sooooo difficult to try and get an energetic, rambunctious 17 month old boy to sit still and look at the camera!! He had his eyes set on a football and bouncy ball, and there was NO distracting him. Boy, does that kid LOVE balls! I was thrilled that we were able to get a picture without a ball in it! But, by the time we were done, I was sweating! LOL! We got a couple good pictures, so I guess that's all that matters.

Caleb absolutely stole the show this morning. He was running around Portrait Innovations yelling "HEEEEEEEEELLLLO" to everyone he saw. Little Mr. Personality was in rare form today! He found another little boy about his age and attempted to play with him. Before I knew it, he was chucking Lego's at this little boy's head. Thanks for sharing little man! LOL! Then, while I was picking out pictures, he ran up to a little girl, yelled "GAAAANK YOU" and stole her fruit snacks. Oh that child! *sigh* He now thinks that he can take anything he wants as long as he says thank you. LOL!!

We also brought his stuffed Big Bird and Cookie Monster dolls. Having a favorite "lovely" is so foreign to me.... Katherine loved Elmo and she always slept with it, but Caleb wants to haul his Big Bird and Cookie Monster everywhere he goes. In half of the pictures that they took, you could see his lips forming the "B" for Big Bird. He absolutely LOVES classic Sesame Street. Big Bird and Cookie Monster are his faves. He could care less about the new gang -- Elmo, Baby Bear, Zoe, Rosita, etc... He's probably the only kid on in the universe that when you say "Cookie" he thinks of the blue fuzzy monster rather than the sweet treat! LOL!!
