The final chair photo: 3 year old

The time has come: we are giving away our rocking chair to some friends-of-friends expecting a baby. I do not feel sad about it one bit, but I wanted to take one last round of chair pictures for posterity. Also it gave me an excuse to look through all the chair pictures again!

Here is the first chair picture, taken when the boys were one month old: Alex on the left, Nate sleeping on the right. They were swimming in their preemie outfits. In hindsight, I wish I had taken a newborn chair picture but we were just too tired to think straight.

This picture from their 6 month chair pictures became our Christmas card. I want to eat their chubby little cheeks!

Of all the chair pictures, this 10 month picture remains my favorite. They were so uncooperative and wiggly and crazy yet when we posed them like this, they were instantly excited to be in front of the camera. This reminds me what a happy time 9-12 months was. Two little boys crawling around the house giggling and playing!

And one picture from the last chair shoot: 18 months. The boys were tired of the shoots, Jon was tired of the shoots. Someone always cried. Someone always objected. They cooperated for one kiss before they both climbed off the chair.

Here's the 3 year picture. They were extremely cooperative. They picked out their own outfits. They talked to me throughout the picture process. It was easy breezy.

Three years later and I still can't believe what little sweeties they are.
