Grown up. ~ Milwaukee Area Baby Photographer

I feel I should preface this post by saying this is just a snapshot . The livingroom was dark and the settings weren’t ideal for getting the quality images I would prefer. But its a frame of mind I try to set  aside so I can take family pictures that aren’t technically correct so we can have snapshots of memories. With that aside…

Our youngest son, Aaron, is now 14 months old. He has had some baby curls and his hair has been growing quite long. Thoughts of Samson and Delilah floated thru my head. How long could I procrastinate before giving him a real haircut? I had snipped the ends and called it a haircut a month ago, but his hair seemed to grow even faster following that pseudo-cut. This weekend I had the nerve to really cut his hair so I just did it while I had the nerve. I set him in his highchair with a sucker in hand in front of the TV and snipped away. There was quite a pile of hair on the floor afterwards. And honestly, it felt like I was looking at him for the first time again. During his post-haircut bath I noticed one ear folds over a bit more than the other. Something I couldn’t tell with his beautiful locks.

So, here is our baby with his not-so-baby face. If anything, I think he’s even more beautiful.

Love you sweetie ~ Mommy.
