Even on this blog, you might have noticed, I talk about him constantly! Am I turning into a sappy parent before I&#8217;m even a parent yet? It feels like it. Here are three of my favorite portraits from a fun session I had with an 11 month old boy. All I could think was, &#8220;I&#8217;m gonna have one of those in January!&#8221; The very thought of it is so terrifyingly exciting it makes me want to cry, catch the tears into a jar, mail the jar to the Bureau of Land Management with a note saying, &#8220;Take these tears and plant a strong tree in my name&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Seriously though, I am so excited and nervous for this kid that&#8217;s about to be my responsibility to feed, clothe and tell lies to just for my own amusement. I can see it now! My boy walks with me in the zoo and pointing to an animal, he asks, <em>&#8220;Daddy? What is that?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I reply,&#8221;What is that? Well, that&#8217;s called a stewtinsky! Stewtinskies\u00a0 breathe fire, poop gold and live under your bed in the summertime.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Wait! Wait! I&#8217;m foreseeing something else! Yes&#8230;it&#8217;s coming to me! Ah-hah! I see&#8230;I see my wife&#8230;mad at me for telling the boy lies&#8230;weeks of sleeping on a couch&#8230;maybe I shouldn&#8217;t mess with this kid? \ud83d\ude42<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Our top names at the moment are: <strong>Owen, Hayden, Corbin.
