2 year pics

Kenna took Karsten's 2 year pictures and I couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome. It was a challenge to find a day for pics that wasn't super hot, but we lucked out with a morning when it wasn't 'tooo' hot. Karsten wasn't making it too easy on us with easily giving us smiles, but Kenna managed to capture some great expressions that represent his personality. Below are just a few of my favorites - I haven't figured how I am going to choose which ones go on my walls!

Helpful note for all of you other photo loving moms out there. If your child loves balloons, DON'T start with balloon pics unless 1. you want the balloons in a LOT of your pictures OR 2. you want an unhappy kid when you try to take the balloons away. After a while with the balloons we managed to distract him with another toy, whew!

What a great smile - love the dimple and the blue eyes!

He had lots of fun on these steps - I think Kenna took a ton of pictures here to get a few great ones!

We took a snack break and our snack spot ended up being a great spot for some pictures. He had a good time waving at the cars driving by on the street.


He was ready to explore some more after his snack break. Kenna saved the morning by bringing a snack he had never had before - dried mangos. YUM!

I love this one of him playing with his train on these steps.

Yes, those baby blues are just as irresistible as they look here. And he already knows how to work them.

In this one I feel like he's looking at us like 'What?!"

PEEK-A-BOO! I love how you can see so much excitement in his face!

I just love this one!

I think this was one of the last ones Kenna took. The grafitti behind him was so colorful but he was done with standing still. You can tell he's starting to get a little hot as his cheeks are getting pink. I think it's a great picture.
