Bird & Branch Photography

How is tomorrow May 1st?? Where does the time go? I know it sounds cliche but ever since we had Dylan it seems that time flies by. Hard to believe he will be two in just a couple short months. We have been so busy around here. Somedays I am not sure what we are busy with but our days fly by and our weekends are too short. I am fully committed to Marathon training which takes up a lot of my time these days. Dan is 90% finished with an awesome new deck out our back door and Dylan is, well, an almost 2 year old. He is BUSY. He is into everything. Talking up a storm and keeping us on our toes.

Generally we are just like everyone else…Dylan does something funny or cute and by the time we grab our little point and shoot camera it is over or I get a “No Mommy No” when he sees the camera. However, today I was feeling inspired. I don’t know what it was but I wanted to document Dylan now. He is really into helping Daddy and being outside. He has new rain boots that he has slept in since we bought them last week and he loves wrapping people in blankets and calling them a “wito” which is his version of burrito. His laugh is infectious, his devilish smile makes me oh so nervous and he is growing SO fast. So today I wanted to stop time for just a minute and take a few photos of our little man so that when he wakes up tomorrow, another day closer to his 2nd birthday, we will remember the things that make him who he is at this very moment in time. So we played just like we do every day after school and I got out my real camera and just watched him in action.

We played on the new deck, hammered everything in sight and the best part of all…it started raining so he got to really try out his rain boots. Life is good when you are almost 2.

P.S. How awesome is the deck? Dan built it all by himself. A little help from friends here and there but he really did it alone. Pretty awesome. He is a rock star!
