Five Months with Boone

I can’t believe how fast time is flying! In a month Boone will already be half a year old! I feel like I just had him. For some reason Boone still seems like more of a baby at 5 months old than Colt did… maybe that’s because Colt was such a big baby at five months. ;) I just went back and re-read that post – Colt was a whole clothing size bigger and two diaper sizes bigger than Boone is right now! They were only 4 oz apart at birth, but Boone was 2 in longer so he is my tall, skinny boy! He’s finally getting some hair on that cute little head. He recently found his feet and loves holding on to them and sucking on his toes haha. He is rolling both directions and all over the place, he’ll even scoot about 6 or 8 feet across the rug in our living room. He can just barely sit up for a few seconds at a time. He is the happiest baby – he’ll smile when anyone looks at him or says his name. I am trying so hard to just soak him up and appreciate his smallness and tenderness, because soon enough he will be big and fast and rough and tough like his big brother. He is a bringer of joy to my sometimes-stressful days. When Colt is having his “terrible two” moments (he’ll be two in just a few weeks!), Boone restores my patience and improves my attitude with his sweet spirit.

I had so much fun doing this little shoot with him the other day on my Nikon D800 and 58mm 1.4. My workhorse of a D3 may be retiring and up for sale soon!
