Popsicles

It's time to play catch-up. These pictures are from at then end of May (I think! Maybe the beginning of September)  of James tasting his first real-fruit popsicle.

It's all old-hat to Amelie.

He's thinking about it. 

Notice how much messier he is now than at the beginning.

He ate the whole thing!

I liked this whole series so much, I thought I'd just post them all. Nana Jana holding James:

Ah, that's better!

Happy 99th Birthday, Aunt Helen!

My Great-aunt Helen turns 99 years old today! I took these pictures of her last month at the first birthday party we had for James.

Professional Photos

The lovely Rhiannon Trask of Lollipop Photography took one-year pictures for James. The kids were actually in a cranky overtired state for all but the first bit of the shoot, but she got great pictures anyway at the beginning (and then it rained shortly thereafter). I'm really pleased with how they turned out!

I have been spoiled with all of the professional picture-taking. She did photos at 9 months, too:

And 6 months:

And 3 months:

And 1 day:
