He's Ready for His Close-Up

Since I've stopped doing Gabe's monthly photoshoots, I've seriously been slacking in the photog department. In fact, a few weeks ago, my mom asked me to print up a recent picture of Gabe and I realized I hadn't taken any in the month after his first birthday. On one hand, that's sad. On the other hand, the hand that I'm choosing to wave around, I realize that I've taken more pictures of that little boy in his first year than any human ever needs and dammit, I need a break. But I won't lie. I miss our little photoshoots each month. So I'm definitely loving the holiday firsts that pretty much require moms to pick out a cutesy outfit and snap away. Things like jumping in piles of leaves, picking out his first pumpkin, pulling on his first turkey wishbone…that sort of thing. It all satiates my need for a little mama/little buddy photo time. And of course, once again this year, I’ll need another adorable shot to grace the Wellington Christmas card. Last year, we ordered our cards through Shutterfly.

Omg. I want to reach through the computer and pull back a tiny little 4 month old!

Anyway, Shutterfly rules. Plain and simple. The holiday photo cards are high quality and the colors come out so vibrant. I can't wait to get the photoshoot going for this year's card so I can pick out something cute. Oh and btw, they've got photo calendars too.  Because you know everyone who's anyone will be rocking a Gabe 2012 Calendar with all of his monthly photos from this past year.  Let me know if you're in for one. They'll be selling like hotcakes. Delicious, fluffy hotcakes.
