Brantley is 11 months!! l Johnson Family l Princeton, MN

So once again, I am behind with my personal blog posts, go figure! I guess that was happens when we have such a crazy busy life!! Brantley just had his 1st Birthday yesterday, but on May 26, 2013 he was 11 months old. At 11 months, we now have a full-time walker; he started walking at about 10.5 months! He randomly started standing alone for more than 5 seconds one day, then the next he took 2 steps alone, the next day 4 steps, & from there he just doesn't stop! He also learned how to walk with shoes on just 4 days after he took his first steps, so that has made life easier as well!

Brantley continues to use the words & signs he knows to communicate all of the time! He also points to things he wants or is interested in, which is a lot of fun to decipher sometimes! He crawls up our entire set of 2.5 staircases very quickly & gets into anything & everything, so you can't turn your back for even a second! Brantley has the most amazing personality, I just love him to death! He gives me a hug & kiss by himself just about every time I pick him up & although he loves hanging out with daddy, mommy is still the go-to person when he is tired & wants to cuddle, which simply melts my heart every time!!

Brantley still has just 2 teeth & has the same measurements as 10 months, he weighs 22 lbs & is 28 inches long. He eats all solid foods, but is an extremely picky eater! He loves most fruits, but I have yet to find a vegetable he will actually swallow. He doesn't like meats & won't eat noodles or eggs anymore. Hopefully he will continue to explore different foods & will eventually find some things to be pretty tasty! Stay tuned for the 12 month update, as well as, 1st Birthday pictures & the party pictures, which will all be added very soon!!

The S Family!! l Spring Mini Sessions l Winona, MN

It was a pleasure to photograph these boys for their mom, who is also a long time friend & co-worker of my aunt. Big brother, Tristin, was an easy capture, while his little brother, Kayden, made me work throughout the entire session! He wanted absolutely nothing to do with getting his picture taken, but by the end of the session he warmed up and I got a few adorable smiles out of him!! I have to thank Tristin too because he was a huge help getting Kayden to play around & smile!!
