Sweetie in the Sweater

Today was a bit on the chilly side. Most of the 12 month clothes I have unpacked for Ryan are of a lightweight nature. Knowing he'd need something warmer today, I dug in and found this sweater and cords. I couldn't resist trying to pose and photograph him in this outfit.
Ryan wore this hat in his 6 month photo. I'm so sad to say this will be the last time he'll fit in it. I bought the hat long before Ryan was born in the event he'd be a boy. It reminded me of my Grandpa Roy. Seeing Ryan in this hat, sweater, and cords, I KNOW my Grandpa's spirit lives on. I know he'd get such a kick out of Ryan and his tough guy faces or monster voices.

This photo reminds me of the Charles Dickens character, Oliver. It's like Ryan is going to take off the hat and then break into song.

Hmmph, I can alter a picture to make it black and white. I was just playing around and this is what happened.

Ryan Kennedy behind bars. Just kidding, he was standing at the steps and I took this picture between the railing posts.
