Sometimes when children are photographed, they tend to be a little shy at first. Not Mikey. He took one look at me, smiled, and came right over to investigate my camera. This little guy had such a sweet disposition and was so happy you would never even know he had a bit of a cold the day of our photoshoot. And mobile. Man was he mobile for all of one year old!!! My own son didn't walk until 15 months so I was so surprised to see this little guy running around! Future track star? Perhaps.... Future heartbreaker? Definitely.







I was dying of LOVE when I saw how cute these book displays were in Mikey's room...Can you tell mom is a teacher? :)





A quick wardrobe change to get him into his baptism outfit...

I wanted to photograph him in his crib with his name in the background...he was not so happy with my plan...

I couldn't help but post this next image, it just makes me smile. We were trying desperately to get him to sit still to get a picture of him in his baptism outfit and he had other plans...he ran over to his trampoline and started bouncing. Definitely not the serene, peaceful, baptism picture mom was hoping for but I was cracking up so I had to snap a quick pic of the little cutie!




A few diaper shots before moving on to cake....






And onto cake. He wasn't so sure about it. Maybe he was just tired after playing for a couple hours with me. Or maybe his appetite wasn't there since he had a bit of a cold. But mom and I were determined to get some cake shots so we mixed some cheerios in the icing. It worked! :)

see the cheerios??


Happy birthday little man! I loved meeting you and your family! ~jen
