Jence is almost a year old!

Can you believe that Jence is almost a year old!  He has grown up so fast.  It's amazing that just a year ago I was miserably pregnant, anxiously awaiting his arrival.  It seemed like those last few weeks were months long.  Then when he finally came the next thing I know he's almost reached his first birthday!  It's funny how time has a way of slowing down, and speeding up like that.  I just wish I could keep him at this age just a little longer.  He is our jolly little baby.  He always gives a smile and laughs when we tickle him.  His big blue eyes are so expressive.  He is just as cute as a button!  

I did a little photo shoot of Jence while Kate was at dance lessons.  I wasn't sure where I'd take the photos.  I thought I'd try the botanical gardens just down the street from her dance studio.  I made the mistake of taking some photos with these cool marsh reeds in the background.  I shot one or two and then Jence got into some mud.  He got his white sweater all dirty.  Poor baby.  Luckily it was a warm day,  so I stripped him down to his diaper and shot some on the grass.  Naked baby pictures are the cutest.
