Our youngest turned 2 on the 17th, but since our household has been crazy the last few days I haven’t had time to put this together!  While I was going through endless files trying to pick out just a few from his first 2 years I realized how much he has grown.  I guess because I am with him everyday the changes are slow and not as obvious to me.  I watched this slide show in complete disbelief at what a little man he looks like and couldn’t help but be a little sad.

I always say how much fun this age is to photograph [and it is], but photographing my own 2 year old isn’t the same as photographing a stranger’s.  I always take an observing approach to this age and it works like a charm.  Trying to do much posing is detriment to your health, lol!  Someone should have told me a long time ago to practice what I preach with my own toddler because today it finally hit me!  I realized as I headed out to take Levi’s pictures that I don’t sit back and just watch him… i’m always trying to get him to mind me [and failing miserably].  So today I pretended like I was with a client and WALA, magic!  I had so much fun and so did he!  🙂
