Cowboy Hat ~ Best Shot Monday

Looking back, we have a handful of shots of C. wearing hats.  And these are just the few I could find (I’m still working on learning how to best organize my photos), and those that were actually caught by the camera.  Sometimes he wears them willingly, other times it’s a bit of a struggle to keep the thing on his precious head for more than a few seconds.  Last week, we hit the jackpot!  Not only was he absolutely adorable – but it was very clear that he felt pretty slick too, walking around wearing Daddy’s cowboy hat.

I love his look here, when he first puts it on. You can almost see how hard he’s trying to contain his excitement…

I don’t play along often, but when I do I try to direct everyone to the fun, so head over to Melody’s to see what other’s are posting for their best shots today!

Family Fun – Best Shot Monday

What a perfect end to a great weekend…that’s right another early morning phone call, though my darling husband thought it would be hilarious not to tell me for about 15 minutes after I continued getting ready post-shower.  It worked out very well as Garth’s family had stayed last night after coming to watch C.’s baby dedication.  We indulged in a great breakfast, a few more snuggles from Little Man and then they were on their way northward.

Here are a couple of my favorite pics from the family fun yesterday…

Wonder ~ Best Shot Monday

I think this sufficiently wraps up my Christmas picture fun…whew!  I know it’s a year away, but I can already imagine how much I’ll miss his “babyness” when his noticeably leaner hands tear into the wrapped gifts next Christmas.  I love the concentration and peace on his face.  Considering the surrounding chaos, it’s especially adorable.

Presents

What could it be? I can almost hear him making a thousand different guesses. 

Calder and Dad

Beyond the gifts, the goodies, and the guy with the big white beard…there’s greatness to this holiday that I cannot wait to share.  Someday, my sweet boy, that same look of awe and wonder will cross your face when you realize the magnitude of the greatest gift that is yours for the taking.

BSM – Love the Eyes

I had the pleasure of riding to and from the UP in the backseat with Little Man – I know, I’m a dork, but I don’t yet trust either C. or X. to be alone in the backseat together. In any case, it gave me ample opportunities to take several pictures and learn different features with my new camera. I thought this was just too cute!
