Paxton at 6 Months - Milwaukee Baby Photographer

There is no doubt that my friends and I have reached the parenthood milestone in our lives. 3-ish years ago, it was the marriage milestone. Over the past 2 years, its been kids. And, now we seemingly all have them. Parties have become play dates. Gossip has become talk about bodily functions, sleep patterns and baby milestones.

Sigh, we are growing up.

I don't mind it much. It brings little munchkins like Paxton into my world, and my studio :) Paxton is baby #1 for good friends Liz & Rob. Headful of dark hair and piercing blue eyes, the kid is nothing short of adorable. Also, a perfect combination of Mom & Dad. I always love finding each parent in their kid - its nothing short of miraculous to look at one little person and see traits of 2 big people. When he was new, I really thought Pax looked a lot like Mommy, but now 6 months in, I'm definitely seeing you in there, Rob :)

Poor Pax is starting to get his teeth. 6 months is rough for most kids - and I often face a lot of trouble at these sessions - they want to constantly nurse, be held and they want nothing to do with my camera. Luckily, with a little patience, I can usually get a 15 minute window of happiness - and you know thats all I REALLY need ;)

seriously, this is his real eye color - so big and blue and bright!

Check out his feet and toes pointed up (not to mention those CHUBBY legs) - hilarious.
