I remember, oh how I remember the days when Maxwell would sit still and let me take his picture. Well, technically he would sit still because he couldn’t move yet, not because he wanted to let me take his picture. But still, those were the days. Days like this…
That picture was taken on May 3, 2011. Hard to believe that was just about 1 year ago today. He was so easy to photograph. He’d just sit wherever I put him and smile at any silly little thing I did. Times, they have changed. I’m now running after Maxwell just trying to capture the split second when he actually stands still. And getting him to stand still AND smile? Let’s just say it’s a challenge.
I might get the “I don’t want my picture taken right now” face…
Or the “oh, there’s a plane in the sky!” distracted face…
Or the “I’m going to practice my football 3 point stance” face…
Or the “I’m going to show you the cereal in my mouth” face…
But, then I’ll get something like this…
Boom. And the challenge is worth every single second.

You do a terrific job of capturing the world of a very busy very curious little boy!

All worth it. Sweet picture.

The many faces of Maxwell!
