It’s time for the truth, there’s another man in my life. He’s a little too young for me but that doesn’t keep me from laying kisses all over his cheeks, fingers and toes! This summer I became part of Ezra’s life on a regular basis and I couldn’t be more thankful for the perspective he brings. I knew we’d be busy this summer and the temptation when you’re busy with weddings and editing weddings and looking at other people’s photos from weddings is to get caught up in a world that isn’t realistic and certainly doesn’t encourage any selflessness. So, God hooked me up with the best distraction ever: Ezra. As a secret project for his parents I brought my camera with me a few times to capture his silly faces and little glimpses of his life as a brand new 1 year old.
A normal day: I get there early and we play.
Then, when he gets a little grumpy he crawls up to me and this means its time to eat.
I mean really, look at that face!
Part of the reason I can’t eat bananas like I used to.
Then we get down and do some crawling.
We do this until we get grumpy again and then it’s time for lunch.
I promise, he’s teething, I’m not torturing him but just look at that expression. Have you ever sen anything so sad?
George ( a throwback from his dad’s time) keeps us company.
But the truth is, Ezra is a messy eater.
So somtimes lunch time is also followed by bath time.
Which is followed by nap time.
Nap time is very helpful for renewing.
Just one standard, 1 year photo session shot. Which is now hanging on my fridge.
I’m sure it won’t be long until he can crawl up in that chair all by himself, but until then, I’m thankful I get to be there to help!
