Planning for profession pictures is just a little nerve-wracking for me. Partially because you pay money for just a couple of shots that you tend to use and partially because Treyton doesn't smile once that big black camera is out and he will, without a doubt, spit up all over himself.  

His 6 month pictures also were a little challenging for me in the clothing front because I wasn't about to buy him new 6 month clothes to wear just for pictures.  I had been successfully squeezing him into nice 3 month clothes for church but they were looking a little snug for pictures.  I found some cute outfits at Crazy 8 but they're sizing just blows my mind a bit....6-12 months.  There is a lot of growth that happens in that time frame.  How do they possibly just make one size?! Nevertheless, I didn't leave myself enough time to do anything else so that is what I went with and it was just all too big on him.

I can't thank Beth enough for the shots she gets of him even though he refuses to smile and drenches himself in spit up EVERY. SINGLE. SHOOT!

Here they are!  He turned 6 months old on February 10th, 2016!

Happy Half Birthday, Baby Boy!  You are developing quite the personality and while it is bitter sweet that you are getting so big, it is so much fun to watch you learn new things on a daily basis.

Oh Treyton Lee!

I can't quite explain the love you have for your daddy!  Its unexplainable...

The way your eyes light up when he enters the room...

The way you smile when he lays on the floor to play with you...

The way that you look to find him when he is talking...

The way that you will snuggle in to take a nap with him.  Even though you really don't like his "Daddy Hugs" that he tries to give you every day.

The way you will watch him work down in the shop and be completely content for over an hour...

But what is even more special is how much your daddy loves you.  He likes to rub it in how he gets to spend Monday and Wednesdays with you while I have to go to work.  He doesn't hesitate to get up in the middle of the night to give you your paci even though he is quite the stickler when it comes to your sleeping.   You will soon find out, too, that his sleep is sacred, and he is pretty good at it.  

He will skip a night of pool with the guys to stay home if he hasn't seen you, and you should feel extra special because he doesn't do that for me. :-)  

Your daddy loves to take you down in the shop to play with the dogs and the cats and for rides in your truck.  I've even caught him letting the dogs and cats lick your head.  

 My heart swells when I hear the two of you chatting it up during bath time, playing on the floor, or simply getting your diaper changed!  I am so excited to watch your guys' bond and relationship grow over the years because I know its going to be a special one.

This post is out of order but I wanted to make sure to get the pictures uploaded so that I had them.  Let's be real, his baby book is still in the packaging so this is going to serve as that! :-)

We had Treyton baptized at Orchard Hill, where we got married.  Doug did our wedding and also baptized Treyton so it was a little more special for us.

On November 1st, 2015, our closest family and friends gathered with us to watch Treyton be baptized in front of 500 or so people in the Community Center.  He did great!  In true Treyton fashion, he showed little to no facial expressions other than looking shocked.
