If You Like Pictures of A Sweet Landon Shae

Tomorrow, my sweet, 6lb 12oz baby turns THREE! I've already told you how I'm a little sad and I feel like he is going to be moving out within the next week.

So, I decided to do some personal reflecting on the past three years by looking at some of my favorite pictures.

I take thousands of pictures of Landon and Toren and I don't regret that.
I love having their little lives documents in pictures and they are so special and important to me.
I love capturing moments and being able to "freeze" time...even if only for a second.

Here are some of (lets be real...A TON because I couldn't just pick a few) of my favorite pictures of Landon over the past three years.

Brace yourselves...there are many.
I'm doing this more for myself, but feel free to enjoy the cuteness with me!

 

This was taken during one of his very

 first hikes. Tyler and I were just commenting on how Landon got to do so many fun things his first few months of life. We have some catching up to do with Toren. Although, Ohio is not quite as exciting as California so we will have to get creative.

This one makes me laugh. Its hilarious for so may reasons. 

1. He is sitting in a milk crate

2. His legs are swaddled so he can't really move, but he doesn't seem to mind.

3. His arm is resting on a jar of peanut.

4. He is happy as can be to be sitting in such an awkward setting.

I love this picture because his smile reminds me of my Gram. 

Toren smiles like this too and its the same way she used to smile! 

Any glimpse of her I can get, is a sweet reminder of how great she was.

Look at his little scrunched up nose! 

His first Easter Egg hunt and I thought the Superman shirt with the cape was appropriate. 

I love this little hat! And I was really excited when I found it in the attic for Toren to wear. This picture also reminds of me Landon's obsession with socks. He used to carry them all over the place and he never left the house without one in his hand. 

This picture was taken during our trip to Texas. We had been at a water park all day and Landon conquered water slides and putting his face in the water. 

I love his little tan lines and his crazy hair!

No explanation needed for this picture. 

He has so much joy and excitement for life.

This picture encompasses that so well. 

This was a special trip.

This is when we decided we were ready for another baby.

This also reminds me of his Sock Monkey obsession. 

He took those little things everywhere with him and he still occasionally throws them around the house.

He is always my favorite photography subject! 

Its easy to get great shots of him because he is so adorable.

I always said those big eyes of his would get him in trouble. 

Except now I think they keep him out of trouble.

How could you ever stay mad at that face for very long,

Those eyes look into your soul.

See those scissors? They made it into most of our family pictures because he refused to put them down. He also colored the palms of his hands purple that morning. 

Oh well, it makes it more realistic.

My sweet (almost) three year old...
