Not so good day

Christina and I were out last week taking some pictures... it was a last minute kind of thing, she wanted to catch the sunset, so we went up to prayer mountain but didn't quite make it in time! I think she actually got one or two good ones. I on the other hand did not, Vaughn was having a rough day ( I think he was just tired) so he was wanting to be held a lot! He would play for a little while and then he would come back wanting to be held; so no, I didn't get a picture of the sunset. I did however, get this picture of Vaughn right before picking him up on one of his -pick me up, put me down- sequences.

I know for all you "child must smile in photos" kind of people this may not be a "favorite." But this is part of what it is like to have a 20 month old and I love it all ... of course the smiles are better than the crying, but I like to capture these faces too. Who knows maybe when he is a teenager and thinks it's embarrassing to be hugged by mom, I can remind him he used to beg to be in my arms ha ha..

I agree with you, keep this picture close to remind both you and him that he would beg to be held!

It was fun to act on a whim and try to get there in time to catch the sunset. Next time, we will have to plan a little more and maybe we both will get some great shots.

This is great, and oh so Vaughn right now. There is just enough "baby" still in him - so savor these moments (even the teary-eyed ones) as before you know it, he will be off to school!

Christina - Yes we will need to plan a sunset shoot one of these days, although you are much better at capturing that kind of stuff and making them interesting than I am... I look at my pictures of sunsets and it's like... BORING!! haha

Linds - I know it is so him now and I don't think I am quite ready to think of him going to school yet... but I know it will be here before I know it, I am still shocked at how fast time has gone by since he was born.
