I forgot to add this picture that we snapped off of our tv when Fox 4 put his birthday picture up. The weather man, Evan, reads off all of the birthdays and he didn't even attempt to say our last name, he just said "Happy Birthday Drake" :)
I wanted to get Drake's 12 month pictures done since I knew that we would eventually be cutting Drake's adorable curls (sniff, sniff). Through our friends Rece and Jenny we found the most wonderful photographer, Jenna Cole. Drake was so comfortable with her and I couldn't be happier with the way that the pictures turned out.
Here are a few of the pics, but please visit Jenna's blog to see a few more (the entry about Drake is about halfway down now).
The curls...
So, after many, many people (specifically at Wal-Mart) made the mistake of calling Drake a "beautiful little girl with the most gorgeous curls" we decided to go ahead and take him to get his first haircut. I had an appointment scheduled and my wonderful stylist Joanette made the time to cut Drake's hair for us. I had been dreading the first haircut (I wasn't ready for him to look like a little boy yet), but it was a lot easier on me (and Drake) than I was expecting it to be. I'm happy to say that the curls are still there! We're going to let it grow back out for awhile and just get it trimmed every so often...
Before...
He has no idea what's happening...
He finally realized what's going on...
And the after...(trying to get Maggie to give him a kiss)
My sweet boy
He looks like a little boy (he loves his chair that Susie, Jan, and Kadi got him)
Yes, I realize it has been forever since I posted (thanks for the MANY reminders from Sarah :)) but I'm finally getting around to posting birthday party pics. We had a birthday luau and it was a blast! Drake is 13 months old today and I can't believe that it has already month since the party.
Hope you enjoy the pics:
