This kid. I mean, man, this kid.
With many apologies to my own mother, let me first say that I’m not a mom. At least, not yet. (See, Ma? There’s still hope!) I’m still in that stage where being around babies has me in a constant state of amazement at the creation of life. Their beauty, their curiosity, their full-body laughter — it’s heart-stopping at times. And sweet Caden was no exception.
Caden’s mom and dad (Hi, Rhonda! Hi, Drew!) are friends of mine from high school. Rhonda is a model of kindness; Drew is a very genuine character. Together, they’ve built themselves a wonderful life, and they managed to make one heck of a happy baby, too. But much to the chagrin of a certain set of grandparents, that happy baby had not yet had any professional photos taken. So we took care of that last week while I was home for a visit.
And man, this kid! I could not have asked for a better, gigglier subject. I probably could have asked for a less mobile one, but it’s always fun to mix a photo shoot with a workout. Did I say “fun?” I think I meant “exhausting!”
Many thanks to Rhonda and Drew for keeping Caden in endless smiles — and to Drew especially for gobbling like a turkey for a full 10 minutes. You’re great parents, and you needn’t look further than the following photos of this precious face to know that’s absolutely true. I hope you love these. And you’re welcome, Pauline! :)
We taught Caden to blow a dandelion!
Stuck on this one, for sure! Check out those chompers! Definitely a favorite.
This is when the turkey gobbling took place. :)
“Caden, love your bunny!” Seriously, somebody put this in an ad!
