A Quick Update

So ... I am just surfacing long enough to share that we had some more one year portraits done at Portrait Innovations. I must say - the experience was a helluva lot more pleasant than the one at Picture People was AND it was way cheaper ... though I don't think the photos were as artistic as the ones at Picture People were. BUT they did give me the CD AND they gave me like a million pictures. I think there are about 150 photos on that CD. The best pictures were the family ones and the ones of Mr. Tranny Head and Sumo ... but because Mr. Tranny Head, like me, wears a white box on his head when he goes out, I thought you might enjoy seeing the ones of just Sumo more. So - without further ado - behold!

I'm glad there wasn't drama this time around, although I have to agree the first set caught more of his personality. No matter, though, when a kid is that cute, there's no such thing as a bad photo. The last one kicks ass!

Karen said...

I do not like that last photo. As awesome as it is and all that, it makes him look way older than he should be.

And that curly mohawk? Rawks.

Kellie said...

Love them--especially the shot of him standing, looking like he's goin' down :)

That's too much cute for one post. And, I think the white background is my only problem. He POPS out in the last picture the most.

Kim said...

I can't show those to Eleanor. I'm afraid she would get all verklempt. Her dream is to find a boy who could appreciate the fat rolls on her thighs. The preppy clothes make me swoon too.

In that last one, he looks as though he's preparing to make an executive decision.

Marmarbug said...

Oh my goodness!!! HE IS SO FLIPPIN CUTE!
And geesh I am SHOCKED you surfaced. So in about 3 weeks are we going to be seeing pics of a nice positive test?????

moo said...

JESUS your child is a cherub. A CHERUB.

Hope you're having fun (and lots of sex!)

April said...

OMG that last pic makes me laugh! It reminds me of a real estate agent's pic. But Sumo is 100% cuter than any real estate agent photo I'VE ever seen!!

Kel said...

I have to agree with April. In some ways he also looks like one of those billboards for starving children. Only he is dressed too nicely!

Dianne said...

Sumo, once again, ROCKS!

In the last photo I believe he may be thinking to himself - "Why do my parents wear white boxes on their heads?"

My boys are Army Brats said...

Sumo looks so sweet! I love the curly hair! My husand would have a fit...might even fly home from iraq to kill me for dressing the boys in sweaters though. He's such a hick, that husband of mine! I love the outfit!

We have to use dark backgrounds with our family because the blonde hair and fair skin gets washed out and lost on the light backgrounds.

caramama said...

Too adorable! He looks like a little, or rather big, doll!

Hyphen Mama said...

You get 100 extra bonus points for getting out of bed, getting dressed and having family photos taken. But I'm glad you did...that last one gives you a peek into what a little man he will be!

Hope you're having TONS of fun.

Where's Sumo sleeping, now that Daddy is taking up his side of the bed?

Colleen said...

adorable! see, I told you that you would like Portrait Innovations! And if I ever get my s#%t together, I will post Cooper's. :)

How many backgrounds did you end up using?..they have so many!

April said...

He's lenghtening out!! Hope you're having fun :)

Elaine A. said...

Glad you had a better experience this time. I love that pic where he is by the rocking chair and looking back. And his hair is SO CUTE! Thanks for a little update! : )

zeghsy said...

you don't mind if i eat your son, do you? no, thanks. he's ever so tasty looking.

he has one of the best natural smiles i have ever seen. too cute!

HalfAsstic.com said...

Oh what an adorable little MAN you've got! He looks so cute and grown up!
He must be very good natured, because a lot of babies that age would be poopy acting after wardrobe changes several times. He looks happy to be there!

David said...

He is one cool little man!
Thanks for sharing

Brittany said...

aww those are GREAT! I love the curls...when did those grow??? I don't remember them. SO cute! :) They are hella cheaper, aren't they??

SherE1 said...

My favorites are the first and last photos - he looks so thoughtful in that last one! what a handsome boy. He could totally be in ads! =)

CC said...

Awwww! He's still cute as can be!

Steph said...

Love these! if I may ask where did you have these done???

Robyn said...

Can't get enough Sumo! Great shots.

Flea said...

April's right on with the real estate agent photo. :) Hey - maybe next time take him to Glamour Shots? Are they even open anymore?

He's a handsome little cuss. :) Hope you're having TONS of fun with Mr. Tranny!

Mary said...

I love his curls!
I dream of having a curly headed baby some day :)

LaskiGal said...

They are all cute. Period. He could be sitting in a pile of poo . . . still cute.

Can't believe you posted . . . aren't you supposed to be busy?

bobbie said...

Look at that little guy! Too darned cute for words. I'd love to see him with his dad - but know that is not to be. Wouldn't do much good anyway, if he was wearing a white box.

Go back to enjoying your guy time!

Googie Baba said...

Its become my goal in life to be the first one to comment on your new blog post, and so far, I can't make it into the top ten.

Anyway, Sumo is adorable. I love the curlie mohawk too.

Cynical Nymph said...

What I want to know is who gave him his awesome curly hair genes??

Rhea said...

Awww! Way too cute, as always.

Is he adjusting well to having daddy home again? Are you?

Golightly said...

WAY TOO much cuteness going on there! Especially that last picture! Way to save th best for last. Hope you're enjoying your time with your man.

SgtSudsWife said...

I love the curly mohawk.He is adorable.I hope you all are having a great time with Mr Tranny head being home.

E said...

This is a way cute kid. Does he more resemble Ms or Mr Tranny?

the dragonfly said...

Oh my goodness, Sumo in a rocking chair is perfect.

Our Crooked Tree said...

I have something for you. Come and get your love at my place...

Indy said...

Wow. You got some great photos. My kids never had that many good ones at that age. You lucky dog.

PT-LawMom said...

Aw, so cute! Now dive back under those covers, girl. :)

LaskiGal said...

Yup. Still cute . . . can't stand odd numbers . . . 40, phew.
