Bennett could not be more in love with his Daddy. He wants to be where Daddy is, do what Daddy does and even wear what Daddy wears. What a joy to watch their sweet relationship. Jeff provides such a contrast and balance to the parenting that our children get from me during the day. I love, love LOVE that Bennett has such an amazing man to emulate.
And speaking of being like Daddy, I did a super-quick (as in like, two minute, hurry-the-baby-is-sleeping-put-on-this-hat-let's-go) photo shoot of Bennett a few days after his birthday wearing Jeff's shirt and hat just like last year. I didn't get any shots that I love, but at least it is done and I haven't ruined the tradition already.
Something about the flip-flopped feet sticking out from under that huge t-shirt reminds me of a hobbit.
Last year I had my mom around to help elicit smiles. Not so much luck this time.
Even though the birthday balloon didn't fit my vision of a perfect portrait session, in coming years these photos will remind us of how the never-say-die mylar balloon was attached to B every waking hour for almost two weeks after his birthday. It was like a fifth family member.
And for fun, here is a sample from last year's birthday pictures:
(I'd totally forgotten about the kitchen utensils from last year! Maybe it will be tradition to have a prop - Bennett's current favorite thing - each time?)
I sure do love that little man.

I LOVE the props! I can't wait to see what he's got in his hand next year...what a cutie pie!
