My little boy is growing up! the big 0-6! I can't believe it, 6 is sooo not a baby anymore. Kinda sad just a little, but looking forward to all the stuff we can do now that he's older, and we don't need to pack a diaper bag or snacks!

My kids are really why I started taking pictures, they really aren't little for long and the older they get the harder it gets to really remember those times (or at least it does for me, weird how I can remember what the kids got for Christmas last year & from who, but can't remember the plot from a movie I watched last week) So my advice to everyone-TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR LOVED ONES!!! I recently found a photo of my grandfather who died before I was even a thought, and its such a cool photo to have of him and to have for my mom to remember him by. The kids love looking at photos of themselves when they were younger, and its always a test to see who can pick everyone out in group photos. Studies have even shown that looking at photos of people you love can make you feel happier and having photos up around the house can increase kids self-esteem.
