eight months old ♥

my little ones

let me just say, taking pictures of a baby in a tub is no easy task… i think half the pictures i took were of him eating the bubbles :) he was so entertained by them! anywho, just a few days to go before leland is eight months old. he is quite the chubby one, weighing about 20 pounds! his little personality is starting to come out and the smile with his two bottom teeth showing is adorable. spending these summer days with him is a blessing….i love it. each and every day i thank the Lord for such a precious gift!

love,
arielle

  39. kelly ann says:

    oh my heavens, Arielle. He is the most the precious thing ever! He seems like the happiest little guy.

  40. chetreanna says:

    hahaha. HE is sooo freaking adorable. I hope this doesn’t hurt. But I must say what I am about say because I love it when this kind of stuff happens.

    HE LOOKS JUST LIKE YOUR HUBBY a.k.a HIS FATHER.

    There I said it. It is out.
    I’m sorry.
    I know some mothers get a bit ticked when the child looks more like the father, seeing in how THEY gave the birth and everything.

    But it always makes me smile to see such a strong resemblance so young in a child.
    Such a blessing to see the fruit of God manifested in your own child isn’t it?

    and his plump little bubble eating self is quite the charmer :). lol

    k I’m done.

    SORRY.

    YOUR GORGEOUS :)!

    Oh my goodness. Arielle, he is so adorable! I can’t believe he’s already 8 months old. I have a feeling this little guy is going to be one of those markers of time for me. I’ll look at him and see photos and such and then I’ll wonder how time’s gone by so quickly. (And how I got to be so old in the process! haha) :)

  43. Love the old school tub shots (just as long as you didn’t throw the baby out with the bath water)! Oh man, I remember when Leala was 8 months old. I remember blogging about it and even the outfit she was wearing that day. She was just beginning to get into things. Fun times! =)

  44. Kristen says:

    He is absolutely precious!
