Gratuitous Cuteness.

Lately I haven't had many photos on my blog. Partly because I have been talking more often about adoption in general. And partly because this is what the majority of the photos I take look like these days:

No, I'm not referring to the Beiber hair he's rocking. I'm reffering to the fact that I generally have 2 seconds to snap a picture of him before he melts down. Apparently, in his little 2 year old mind any moment involving a camera where he is not allowed free reign to bang it against the nearest hard surface or browse through stored pictures laughing his cute little fake laugh like he is recalling great times - is pure, gut wrenching, agonizing torture.

Note: In case you were wondering, yes, he is wearing my earings.

Luckily this weekend the camera gods smiled down on us and we were able to capture this gem:

Note: Before you scoff at me for teaching my son such bad manners I assure you though I did teach him to laugh when someone toots or burps he came up with this one all on his own. He doesn't even like milk! I guess milk straight from the jug tastes better?

We were also able get some great professional photos with Gina and my Mom. Here is one to preview but I encourage you to click here to see the rest on her blog. I even make an appearance in a couple of the pictures :)

Note: I learned this weekend that it is not advisable to put a tight stocking cap on your son's head prior to a photography session. Even if he is begging you to because he thinks the doggy on it is hilarious. Unless of course you want his hair to be immortalized (along with your shame) looking all a ragamuffin in the pictures.
