My precious first-born child..

It wasn’t but just the other day that he and I spent the
long, lazy days of the end of the summer
together – just he and I….

He was my squishy little Raggedy Andy – just the most relaxed, laid-back little baby ever!

And now look – playing the trumpet (for the second year!) – going to high school (granted, we don’t have a middle school) – turning 13 – voice deepening….

AGHHHH!

Where’s PittyPatty?

Where has he gone?

He’s been replaced by this dude – who is just …. “Too Kewl for School!”

He sure is a handsome devil, though!

Pic update – replaced the blurry one… And boy, oh boy – is he the King of the Sullen Teens – or what?! Well, hell – he oughta be – he’s been practicing since he was an infant slouching in the stroller! I swear! Mom and I both thought he looked like a half-stoned teen in the stroller at 2 months old – so funny! And he’s always kinda had that ‘slouch-thing’ — got it from his pop!

Ok, so then he had to turn his bday re-take into a mug shot – what better way to please a teen then a mock mug?!

Then we decided to move away from the bday sign – and do it up real good! Har! Those pics deserve their very own post!
