12-Month Pictures

Just picked up Boone's 12-month pictures earlier in the week. I took him the day he went for his 12-month check-up to have his pictures taken, and it was an experience! He's so busy these days, and while getting his picture taken is no exception. He spent most of the time wanting to crawl around the studio and check stuff out. It was really hard to get him to sit still, so we had to resort to raiding the props in the closet and trying most, if not all, of them out. We used the baseball Boone is holding in the first picture to entice him onto the area he needed to be for the pictures. I rolled it over to the spot he needed to be, and then we gave him the baseball bat and glove once he got there to get him to pause just long enough to snap a shot.

I love the close-up of him, really shows off his pearly whites. He's got 4 teeth so far and is currently working on 2 more.

And the last picture is an attempt to get a shot of him standing. Normally at home, he will spend some lengthy time standing at the couch or something of similar height. But while trying to get his pictures taken, he decided he didn't need to hold on to anything. He was like a little weeble-wobble. Finally, the woman taking his pictures got out the cake with the 1 on it and that was enough to entice him. He ended up pulling the 1 off the top of the cake, and in the process lost his balance, so you can see my hand in the background, as it looked like he was going to go head first into that pillar. Luckily he didn't, he just looked long enough at the camera for a quick shot, afterwhich he promtly sat down and crawled out of the studio. And that was a wrap, folks!
