So there was this dream I once had where I was a teenager forever.  Me and my friends would go to the mall every day after school and after cheerleading practice was finished.  We’d talk about boys and make-up for hours and fantasize about growing up one day.  About going off to college and turning 21.. wondering who would be the first of us to have kids? When would we get married? Would we get married at all? And then I woke up and realized that those days are long over and I’m officially a full-fledged adult already *sigh*

I’ve been having these moments of self-actuality often lately (though seemingly more frequent the more gray hairs I find on my head or spider veins on my legs… lol) and one of my most recent experiences happened after one of my best friend’s baby brother… had a baby.  Aside from the fact that this once gangly tall boy who we would playfully tease and embarrass is now a gigantic 200+ lb man whose biceps circumference is probably twice that of one of my thighs, he is now all grown up  and starting a family.  My friend, Liam’s mom and I got together the other weekend and did a mini-session of Liam to celebrate his one-month mark.  Thanks so much for inviting me out to do photos and a BIG congratulations to one of my best friends in the whole world and her entire family. Babies are such a blessing and I’m looking forward to seeing how many more we add to our bunch

The photo below actually happened in between pictures and completely by accident (or should I say rather by Liam’s doing and not my own).  He reflexively flailed out his arms and when he relaxed this is how we found him.  Oh yeah… he’s a Wheaton for sure
