1 Year Baby Photos - Gavin

This is little guy is a true baby model...literally. Gavin is famous! He's on the box for a Fisher-Price bouncy play chair! He put on his best little model face and worked it for us despite a wet and cool 50 degree summer morning filled with bugs. Everything about this session had meaning.  Gavin loves turtles and he has turtles at home, hence the adorable turtle overalls. The following day was his monster themed birthday party, so it was only appropriate to have a monster cake and t-shirt for his 1st birthday photos. Gavin was hesitant to go after his bright, blue monster cake. He was careful and strategic about where he wanted to touch it.  With a little help from mom, he had his first taste of icing.  After examining the blue stuff on his hands like a detective, he pulled up a handful of grass and decided he'd rather eat that. Kids are so funny! He went on to rub the icing through his hair and all over his face. It looked like war paint, or he was preparing for a role in The Patriot. His entire face was blue. All we could see were his bright blue eyes peeking out!  A bath was needed, but with the Fall day we were having in June, the water was too cold for Gavin to enjoy the bubbles. So, he went home looking like a happy little smurf! Happy 1st Birthday, Gavin, you sweet little monster!!
