Easter Photo Shoot

It's so true what they say about the second child....there are never as many pictures as there are of the first.  Believe me, I know this as I was the third child and I think there are about 2 pictures of me as a baby.  So I am determined to keep up with each of my kids photo shoots, memorable moments and blogs.  It's difficult sometimes, but so worth it.  And I don't want Gavin and possibly a third child (girl anyone?) to bug me about it like I do so relentlessly with my mom.  So last month we took Gavin's 6 month pictures.  Jack is 2 years 8 months here.  We just wanted some simple shots so we went to Kiddie Kandids at Baby's R Us.  I have to admit, it wasn't my favorite experience, but the photos are cute.  You definitely get what you pay for.  But they did manage to capture a few good ones....
Jack is such a stud!  When we first got there he wanted no part in taking pictures, but as soon as we got him up there, he totally turned it on.  He's definitely my son in that department!

Such a little poser...and so handsome...

I LOVE this picture.  We didn't even tell Jack to do it.  Gavin was getting fussy so Jack leaned over and kissed him and it calmed Gavin right down.  So sweet...

Happy Guys...

I honestly thought my joyful little boy would just ham it up but he didn't enjoy the experience at all.  This shy grin was all we could get out of him.  Poor buddy just doesn't like new people and new environments...

Here's the one smile we got the entire session.  He's so adorable....

Close up in black & white...

I love this sweet little face.  He just looks so deep in thought.  Wonder what he was thinking about...maybe get me the heck out of here guys??

Ok, this is actually Jack at his 7 month photo shoot.  I wanted to put Gavin in the same sweater just to see if they would look alike in the pictures.  As soon as I saw the one of Gavin above I remembered that Jack had taken almost the same exact photo...same expression, same eyes, same little turned-down lips....even the way their fat little hands are touching.  The resemblance is crazy to me...

 

Here are both boys again.  I wanted to take a photo of each of them at 6 months because I have a picture of their daddy around the same age.  But I can't for the life of me find that picture.  I'll try to add it another time.  They definitely look like brothers....Jack was just a little chubbier and Gavin's ears stick out a little more....poor guy has mommy's ears...but they are both precious to me...
