Dylan: 18 Months! (North Idaho Children's Photography)

It has been quite a while since I have done an actual photo shoot with Dylan. I have been trying to get his 18 month pictures in and finally was able to this last week. This kid is growing so much lately. He is as big as kids almost a year older than him. He has found his new speed and that is a run. It is so cute because it makes his cheeks jiggle. I love it. He is learning every day and it is amazing to watch him figure things out. He is so suborn about it though. He hates it when you try to help him. He as to do everything himself. He is such a good boy. I can take him to town for a whole day by myself and he will not make a peep. I love it. Definitely worth the first six months of nonstop crying. This was my first real session with him since he has gotten so mobile and it was a bit of a challenge, especially as we hit it right before nap time. All in all we got a few good shots and had fun playing in the leaves some.

The found missing shoes. One of the reasons I wanted them back was specifically for this photo op.

This pictures reminds me that he is still so small.

This face cracks me up. He makes it when he gets excited. So glad I was able to capture it.

Ten on Tuesday.

1. How do you take your coffee on an average day? How do you like your coffee if you’re splurging?
I don't usually drink coffee, but when I do I like mochas.

2. What is your genre of books to read?
I am an avid reader and like all different types of genre. Thrillers and chick lit are my favorite.

3. Where do you want to retire, if you could go anywhere?
I am not sure I have not really thought about it. I would love to travel, but would have a home base where ever my family happen to be.

4. The 17-year-old you is told to write a 10-minute speech. What topic would you have picked?
I wrote several speeches when I was 17 the topics varied. The ones I remember were saddling a horse, rodeo, and logging.

5. What word describes you best?
Not really sure on this one. Mom is what comes to mind.

6. What is the next “event” that you are looking forward to? (ex.: vacation, moving, date, job change, etc)
My next trip "home" to see my family at the coast.

7. Do you like to discuss controversial topics or do you prefer to avoid those types of conversations?
I would rather not discuss them. People opinions on such topics are usually very strong and they are unwilling to listen to another point of view at all.

8. Would you rather add 4 free hours to each day, or add 1 extra day to the week?I would have to say 1 extra day so I could take more weekend vacations.

9. If you created a sports team; what would your colors and mascot be?
Not into sports at all.

10. If you had to be a teacher, what subject would you teach?
I would definitely be a high school government, history, and geography teacher. I almost went back to school to get my masters to do just that before I met Cory.
