One Year Portrait

"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
Proverbs 22:6

As you can see, I finally got PC's professional 1yr. pictures back yesterday. Of course the picture you settle on to get the package price, is never as good as the shots they take afterward, but at least I have a picture card that allows me to chose one sheet of pictures for free from the additional shots. Because I knew that, I put up with all the extra posing so if there was a better picture than the package picture, I could at least get an 8x10.

The package picture isn't bad, but is just doesn't have PC written all over it. Instead, it looks a lot more like my brother than my son! Oh well, that's what I'll be handing out to all the relatives because that's the shot we have a few dozen copies of. At least everyone can see the extra shot here since I'm keeping that one for PC's baby book. I've included the package picture below too, so you can see them both actually.

I'm considering changing PC's blog nickname. We never call him that at home anymore... in fact I don't even think of him as 'Prince Charming' when I see 'PC'. Dolly and I call him 'Ham-bone' (it's very fitting when he decides to be goofy) or 'Little Man' most of the time, but those aren't as flattering titles to be referred to as, so I might leave 'PC' alone for the time being after all.
