19 month sticker photos and video

It's Spring now and the weather is so lovely. You love going out to the backyard and playing with your trucks and cars. I put up a sand table for you today so you have more to amuse yourself. It was a lovely day to take your sticker photos.

You can understand and communicate so much more now. You even follow our instructions and are learning how to be patient (especially when an app takes a while to load on the ipad). You're also not shy when you like or don't like something. With your recent Thomas obsession, you've been quite vocal about wearing clothes with Thomas on it. I don't even have time to take the clothes down from the clothes line - you want to wear them as soon as they are dry.

You have so many funny expressions. Your most recent one is making what Aunty Mandy calls the "Sharkface". You think it's hilarious and do it all the time!

Shark face!

Here's the sticker video and more photos after the link:

18 month sticker photos

I took these photos last month and had to squeeze it in during a rainy weekend so the lighting in the photos isn't great. You had also just woken up from a nap (hence the bed head) so you weren't the most alert. Your sleepy expressions really make me laugh.

So these past few months you have been OBSESSED with Thomas the Tank Engine. You've been very lucky to have been gifted lots of Thomas toys, books and more recently, clothes. I did take a video this month as well but you kept looking out the window and refused to turn around so I won't bother uploading to the blog.

Here are a few photos of you - you're growing up into such a handsome boy!

18 months: family beach photos

We were lucky that the rain cleared up during rainy August and we got a beautiful Sunday to take photos at the local beach with photographer Rebekah Schott (http://www.rebekah-joy.com/)

I did some research for props and fell in love with some family photos with a teepee so I scoured the net and as luck would have it, a teepee that I had my eye on went on sale the week before our photo shoot. I LOVED how the photos turned out! You had a great time playing on the beach and we had a very relaxed session, which I think shows in the photos.
