the dog days of winter {Kansas City Baby Photographer}

My little guy got some new duds last week. I seem to have some sort of puppy fetish...at least half of his wardrobe has some type of doggie motif. I especially have a thing for ears. Big floppy ones. There are so few times in life where you can really pull off wearing a puppy dog hat...so you might as well take advantage of it now, right?

This little one is growing up way too fast. He's sitting like a pro. Sitting like...I can just sit him down and walk away...sitting. He's eating three square meals a day. And just gave up his bedtime bottle. That's a big mystery to me? What baby won't drink a bottle before bed? Not this little man...breakfast, lunch, and dinner and he's good for the night. It certainly makes the bedtime routine at our house easier. But I do miss those extra snuggles...

He's really starting to play with his toys (read: eat his toys). He especially loves soft, cuddly things...and anything that fits in his mouth. As we were playing in his room yesterday I got down this sweet puppy stuffie to show him. It was so big...he wasn't sure what to make of it...and just kept looking up at me for direction.

"hmmm....not sure about you...but my mommy seems to think we'll be friends...wanna play?"

"ha...gotcha...you ain't goin' no where mister..."

"now let me get a good look at you....you are kinda cute..."

"you were right mommy. he's lots of fun after all!"

If I could only freeze time and keep him this age forever. My little puppy...I love you!
