Back to Life

Lil' Lamb turned 21 months on Sunday.  I can't believe how much he's changed.  It doesn't matter how many children we have, I'm always amazed at how quickly they grow and learn.  He's talking a whole lot more this month and his vocabulary increases every single day.  He's even got his own special name for me that I absolutely love: "mom-mom".  It makes his life a bit easier now that he's able to communicate better, even if I'm the only one that can interpret all his words.  He's also decided he wants nothing to do with my camera.  I had the hardest time trying to get a picture of him for this post.  He refused to look up at me.  If I tried to get down closer to him with the camera, he'd run off.  It was a very tricky photo shoot.

Here he is refusing to look up.  I was trying all my tricks to no avail.

"I'll be having none of that, mom-mom!"

I sent him chasing after a ball and he brought it back to me, allowing for this shot with the sun flare.

Finally I just laid down on the ground with the camera, which really peaked his curiosity and I was finally able to get a pic of his adorable little face.  He even smiled, the little imp.
