I’ve been calling Jake “monster” for awhile now. Clearly because he’s such a terrible kid. [joke]
We were not laughing at him crying, I promise. He was a little scared by the bumpy ground and sticks everywhere. You would be too if you just learned to walk!
One thing I hate are TEARS coming from a baby. It breaks my heart. Especially coming from this kid.
Such a cute photo of mommy comforting Jake.
I hate the tears, but still an adorable face.
He gained his confidence after about 10 seconds on the ground.
This kid is hilarious. [this is a laugh not a cry 
]
The face that this monster is famous for!
Sparkly eyes and a mouthful of teeth!
Questioning the world.
Flirting with the camera.
“I’m not so sure about you Ashley…but I hear you made me a cake!?”
I clap now, which makes me even cuter.
And then I crack UP laughing at my silly mom.
Tip-toeing around.
It was about nap-time.
Cute windy photo 
Can I just tell you that FOOD is much easier to photograph that a BABY!!! Food sits still + babies do not Such a fun day with Melissa + the monster!!

Sigh. Between this baby and the cuties I see at the Butterfly Pavilion, I am really starting to want one. You know…to borrow and play with now and then.

Adorable pictures Ashley ~ also shared them with your grandmother (Lenore) while I was there and she loved seeing them as well…
I share your blog with her every so often (if my blackberry is co-operating) and a post comes thru ~ it always makes her day

My husband’s nickname is ‘Monster’. I just started calling him that as a joke, but it stuck.
Sometimes, crying kids are really cute. They just make the sweetest faces. That sounds awful, but you know what I mean. A great photo set, glad to see smiles at the end
