got shoes?

We took Kaden to have some "professional" pictures done at Picture People this weekend. I know that I have been spoiled rotten having my most amazing and talented cousin Jena document the first 6 months of his world, and I already knew that no one would be able to capture the true essence of my little precious man! Picture people has gotten so many good reviews from people I know, that I guess my expectations were high. I was a little dissappointed with the way they turned out, but I plan on going back again and trying out a different photographer.I'm thinking that the one we got may have just been having a bad day! Even though I'm dissapointed at the quality, how can I NOT like a picture of this precious boy? I am posting a few, and I scanned them into my computer, which is why the quality might be a little weird. I was trying to replicate the amazing naked butt shots that Jena captured of him, but the diaper kind of got in the way...and I made the mistake of not having him wear shoes because he has not worn shoes at ALL yet in his life, I just can't bare to restrict those precious toes! So I had black socks on to kind of give the illusion of shoes! The photographer made me take them off for the stand up shot so that he wouldn't slip, and so now he is barefoot with his handsome outfit on....maybe I should try some shoes next time!




please notice the little toes sticking out of his jeans!




Chad and I caught nugget playing in his crib the other morning, and it was too cute not to post. He has such little sleepy eyes, he looks exhausted, but he's happy as can be, chattin it up and playing with his ICrib! His crib looks so sad and BARE in this video, it now is only the bare essentials since he is standing. I still sometimes think about getting him a REAL crib bumper, to give him a little privacy! But I know that once I did, he would find that he could put his little foot right on it and get a nice springboard to jump out of the crib!
