Grayson is 6 Months OldAnd in keeping with tradition, I took rubber duckie washtub pictures! I normally get these taken at Sears when they are six months old. The tradition started because I had done this pose with Braden at six months, and then coincidentally did the same pose with Lydia at the same age. So we did it with Liam, and now I am doing all of my own portraits, and couldn't go to Sears even if I wanted to. So I bought a wash tub at a local garden center, and did a little photo shoot with my cute guy. I know I still have much to learn as a photographer, and this picture isn't perfect. But I will always remember that my Baby Gray was smiling for ME in this picture, and not for a stranger, and that makes it special.

You may not think it is perfect but I sure can't find anything wrong! Such a cute photo! You're hired. You can take pictures of my kids anytime (well, when we are on the same continent).
