Carter has never been a mama's boy. He's been a daddy's boy, a grandma's boy, a grandmari's boy, a great grandma's boy and a cousin Taryn's boy, but never a mama's boy. Until about a month ago. He used to run to Trev when he would get home from work and never look at me again the rest of the evening. He still runs to Trev, but he is definitely forming an attachment to me (finally!!). It only took 22 months, but now I am the one he runs to. And I must say, I love it. Don't get me wrong, I love that he loves his daddy, and grandmas, and Taryn, but I'm his MOM! So this has been quite a nice change. And the picture of the week showcases it. I was tempted not to write this. I'm sure he will wake up tomorrow and revert back to daddy, but I had to document that for at least a moment, he wanted his mommy!
Carter has never been one to rest his head against me, but now it happens 10 times a day. And once again, I love it!!
I'm also including a few pictures from last weekend. It was gorgeous here, borderline hot, and Carter had so much fun outside at Grandmari and Papa's! He walked around until we thought he may pass out from heat exhaustion!! The child just wouldn't stop moving!!
This picture doesn't do justice to how red his cheeks were! Poor guy was burning up!!
And of course, what outside post would be complete without swinging pictures??
Have a good week!!
very sweet moments captured!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet moment captured. He has gorgeous eyes!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, he is such a cutie!
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome little guy... Enjoy those snuggles!
ReplyDeleteWow, your work is just amazing!! And your son is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHe'll all love his mommy! I have 5 sons...
He's a doll. No wonder you're so happy when he wants his mommy.

I hear you on being pleased to have a head resting. My two year old was the same way--go, go, go and if she was going to stop it was to cuddle with anyone but mom. Once she made the transition it only kept getting better.
ReplyDeleteYour son is precious and you got some lovely pictures!
What a gorgeous darling little guy you've got there :) Happy Tuesday :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweetheart and what great captures!
ReplyDeleteAll precious but I adore that swing shot at the end. My son was like that - only he never stopped. He's 13 now I much prefers his father over anyone else. My older daughter was the opposite- she would be so clingy to me that no one could ever help me with her- she would freak out if anyone else tried to touch her. The 3rd- also more fond of Dad. Strange how they are.
ReplyDeleteAwww, Sara! I love the picture of him cuddled up to you! It's precious!
ReplyDeleteI'm w/ Megan...all of the pics are great, but the one of Carter cuddling up w/ mommy wins, hands down!
ReplyDeleteHe's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSomehow my blog hopping has brought me to a series of blogs featuring photography (yours being one of them) and I have to say, I am really enjoying this foray into unknown blogging territory.
oh I love when they rest their head against you... it warms you from head to toe.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy this very special time. Now you can understand what it meant to me long ago when my 3-year-old son (your brother) hugged me and said, "You are such my darling!"
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, like always. Aren't toddler snuggles the best. My kids are daddy kids too.
ReplyDeleteAwwww... so sweet that he's becoming a mommy's boy! I love my boys so much too! His eyes in your photos are GLORIOUS...and your point of view in the 1st swing picture is AWESOME! Love them all! XO
