Attitude...

Tomorrow LP turns 3 (!!!) and I'll be back with a sappy post all about how he lights up our lives and is so loving and sweet.  Today though, I thought I'd share some photos from the past few years that perhaps I haven't shared before - some that are just plain funny, and some that show a bit more of his feisty side...
When LP was just a few days old Gabby thought he'd be a tasty snack.
Dachshund says "yum!"

At 2 weeks he somewhat resembled a funny little troll.
December 5 "Photo Shoot"

At 3 weeks he was very good at letting us know when he was angry.

He was still good at that at 2 months...

But had also mastered the "Mom - you're soooo annoying" expression...

And at 3 months he'd moved on to the "maybe if I close my eyes they'll go away" trick.

LP at 5 months knew how to shoot evil death rays of disdain from his eyes....

And kept practicing the look at 5 months.

At 5 months LP finally started to realize that someone was stinking up the place pretty frequently...

And at 6 months decided to blame the dog.

Life as an 8 month old was simply exhausting...

But things perked up at 11 months when LP discovered Mom and Dad's stash of booze.

As a 13 month old Little Paul enjoyed his first bites of crab rangoon....
12-12-2009 8-19-24 PM_0026

And at 16 months declared his hatred for hats with pompoms...

And his love for his Hugh Hefner robe.
3-27-2010-4-04-20-PM_0086

At 17 months he became adept at sticking out his tongue...
5-21-2010 7-18-02 PM_0061

And also at using it to devour ice cream cones.

At 19 months Little Paul let his goofy side run wild...
2010-07-21 17-25-26_0027

And kept it up at 20 months...
2010-08-29 12-08-57_0005

and 22 months.

When he was 26 months old, LP discovered the joy of paint smeared on hands and face...
2011-01-07 14-20-17_0057wm

And the joy of jumping on the couch.
2011-02-13 20-33-29_0042wm

At 28 months he preferred a wind-swept look...
2011-03-18 18-02-51_0140wm

Which was somewhat cleaner than the chocolate ice cream covered look he preferred at 32 months,
2011-07-02 20-05-28_0021wm

Which he alternated with his tried and true paint-covered look.
2011-07-29 15-55-05_0017wm

At 33 months the goofiness shown through once again...
2011-08-03 16-22-19_0065wm
2011-08-21 15-02-00_0037wm

And has continued through 34 months...

2011-09-02 18-46-48_0011wm
2011-09-05 13-13-02_0086wm

Until today...
2011-11-13 14-46-37_0026wm
No matter the mood though, we always love our stubborn/cranky/silly/goofy/angry/dirty little man...

What Winter Looks Like...

(Welcome to anyone arriving here from Blue Zebra Photography !) (Oh!  And this is post # 500 on Ye Olde Blogge.  Wow!) I mentioned earlier that I'm participating in two different photography projects this year with other members of the Bloom Forum .   The second project I'm participating in are monthly photos that relate to a certain theme or word. For January, the theme is "Winter." We've had an odd winter so far here in Massachusetts.  Hardly any snow at all and over the weekend it was actually in the 50's which is pretty unusual.  We did have a brief snowstorm last week though and while LP and Eliza were cozied up on the couch together I wandered around and took a few photos of the scene.  I love how cozy it is in our house when it's snowy out and wanted to capture some images that conveyed that...

February: What Shadow Looks Like

  (Welcome if you’re coming from Suzanne O'Brien Studio in Northern California!) This month’s group photography theme was “shadow.”  I’ll admit, I had a bit of a hard time with this one.  We’re in the middle of the February doldrums around these parts, and while the sun does shine from time to time it’s cold and blustery and damp most days.  It was tough to get motivated and creative about this, but that’s the whole point of the challenge! The kids and I were in the living room one afternoon and LP was lining his toys up on the windowsill.  The (frigid) afternoon sun was pouring in and I realized that there was a sort of lightbox effect.   I enlisted LP’s help in photographing some of his favorite toys (and one of Eliza’s) so he was the “stylist” for this little photo shoot.  I think if we ever have a dedicated play room I might frame some of these photos for the walls!

March: What Home Looks Like

(Welcome if you've arrived here from Laurie Schultz's blog !)  Over the years the definition of Home for me has changed.  Growing up it was, of course, the house I lived in with my parents and my brothers.   Even after college when I moved to another state “home” was still back in that house.   Although my apartments were homey and some of my roommates became like family to me, Home was always back in my hometown in the house I grew up in. Even after moving in with Paul, getting married, and buying our own house, a small part of me still felt like home was back in Pennsylvania.  We were creating our own newlywed version of home but I always referred to going to my parents’ house as “going home.”  This has changed since having children though.  Now home is here- where my heart is, figuratively and literally.  It’s wonderful and exhausting and messy and crazy- usually all at once.  And I wouldn't change any of it.  Now, home is where my hubby takes care of thin
