Jax 18 months old!

Cannot believe how big my boy is. Growing like crazy!!! I realized we hadn't done any updated pics of Jax since he has been walking so I really wanted to do a mini photoshoot with him. The shirt he is wearing in these photos is a shirt I've held onto for a very long time. I bought it about 5 years ago on sale at Target for $1. I just loved it and envisioned having a little boy someday with this exact outfit on. Jeans, button up shirt and some vans or chucks. I forgot all about it until I went through a box of clothes last week to find some baby clothes for a friend. I'm so glad I found it!! It is exactly the size he is in right now. =) I think I always knew I would have a little boy first.

I'm bummed because we forgot the reflector and diffuser at the house so the lighting was not as controlled as I wish it was in the photos. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to getting the light the way I want and envision. I'm bummed about some of the hot spots in the photos and that I wasn't able to pop more light into his eyes but oh well!! They turned out cute enough for me! Normally he totally hams it up for the camera but he was not in the mood to be photographed and was super creeped out by walking on rocks and grass. Haha. The field has uneven pavement and he's never walked on something like that before and it totally freaked him out. Everytime we'd stand him up and walk away for a shot he'd start freaking out like he was on hot lava and whimpering. It was so cute and sad all together. Haha. So he LOVED sitting on top of the suitcase with Gerald (his beloved stuffed animal) and even decided to stand up and dance when we put some music on. It was like his own little life raft in the "lava" of rocks and dirt. Such a silly boy. There are a ton more cute pics but this is just a preview of what I've gone through so far. Enjoy! Jax I love you so much and am so proud of how loving and sweet you are!!! Can't believe you're almost 2!!!!
