DSC01921.JPG Kolton at 23 months

Kolton typically "poses" for me when I take pictures of him, and I love having a grandson who enjoys having his picture taken. He is now beginning to realize that he has some degree of control over his life, and from time to time he decides that he doesn't want anyone taking his picture- not even his mom, and he is quick to let us know of his wishes in no uncertain terms.

I like this picture because Kolton was totally oblivious to my being there, and I was able to take advantage of the natural lighting coming from a nearby window. Although taken with the camcorder camera (Sony), rather than my Canon, I think the picture turned out reasonably well. I'm happy that I was able to get a good side profile, without the prepared "cheeeeze" face that Kolton normally gives to his mom or me when we're trying to take his picture. He's changing so quickly, and for a baby that had almost no hair for such a long time, he's definitely making up for lost time.

I hope to be able to document little pieces of his life over the years and maybe present it to him in my later years. Hopefully, he would be mature enough by then to truly appreciate the effort involved.
