With Atticus approaching his Half Birthday, I thought it would be fun to do a few photos of just him. Unfortunately, he didn't think the idea would be so much fun and he buried his head into the arm of the couch.
This was the closest thing he would give me to a smile. He did give me a whole lot of "attitude" shots though...
Perhaps he will let me take a few on another day (I did not want to press my luck and take any more this time). Lately this boy wants to do nothing but read and colour and if you tell him he needs to do something otherwise (eg., brush his teeth or pose for photos..) you are likely to hear his high notes (usually dependent on how much sleep he has had). Of course, he'll happily take breaks to play with his sister, go on walks and eat. Oh man, he loves to eat. We really lucked out that he is not a picky eater - hopefully that doesn't change. We could give him a full plate of roasted brussel sprouts for dinner and he would chant "yum, yum, yum" as they are brought to the table and ask for more when he finishes the plate! It makes meal planning soooo much easier.
It sure is fun spending time with him. He loves to sing and dance and is fully relishing in our nightly Christmas carols. He has begun saying prayers by repeating, and hearing him say things like "bless us" or "Jesus Christ" always puts a smile of joy and gratitude on our faces.
We are pretty crazy about this kid. He is always volunteering to help, giving hugs and kisses and sharing his toys. He loves laughing, being silly and being a big brother. We love him so much!
And that's that for the mushy stuff (at least for now..)
