he steals my heart

On our anniversary morning, with Miller in school and Gray at preschool camp, Mark and I took Everett out for a quick little shoot. I had had bought an adorable little jon-jon for his first birthday that I had yet to do "real" pictures in, and I didn't want him to outgrow it first. I needed Mark's help to be the baby wrangler since he crawls at Mach 5 and I could only imagine what would happen if I ever tried to attempt it on my own.

It was about 95 degrees and we only lasted about 30 minutes, but I love some of these. I just adore that little boy. Except when I'm proofing and he turns off the power strip underneath my desk. Then it is a little less adoration, and a little more irritation.

He is almost 14 months, and among his new talents: Doing baby sign language for "more" and "all done," clapping when directed, mimicking a meow, and purposely dropping things so that he can contort his face into a giant "O" and say "UH-OH!" He recently got teeth 5 and 6, and he will probably be walking within a month or so. He has a sparkle in his eyes that lets me know I am SO in for it when he gets older.
