Like Mother, Like Son
It's really rare that I can get half-decent photos of Ben nowadays. He's close to 2 and busy as ever. Sitting still consists of roughly 10-15 seconds, if I'm lucky. Today though, Ben was a little ham for the camera.
I don't post a lot of photos of Ben up on here. The super-paranoid side of me always thinks, "What if some creeper looks at these?! Fuuuuuck..." Then I have flashes of "To Catch A Predator" pop in my mind along with visions of some creepy guy hiding behind the dumpster of our apartment, peeking in the window.
Did I mention I have an over-active imagination?
Enough of that...here's some photos I took of Ben today that I am in love with. I seriously can't get over how much he's grown. I know every parent says that, but for reals...wow!
I wanted to share this photo with you as well...remember my post about my blanket? Here it is! Not damaged at all thankfully. These next couple photos are kinda funny. I bought some '60s glasses off Etsy and they arrived last week. They make eyes look kinda big (think Bubbles from "Trailer Park Boys"...YouTube it if you can.) I thought it'd be entertaining to let Ben wear them around. My little vintage man....
And of course, I wanted to share these. At first I was hesitant, but whatever. I've mentioned before that I CANNOT take myself seriously in photos. Well, here's proof. I should've had a chalkboard with math calculations behind me or something.
Yeah. Good times were had by all. Derrr.....

aww...what a cute baby! i really love his curls! and ur glasses are soo coo!
by the way, how did u do your layout! i want something like that for my blog!
He is so stinking adorable!!! I love these pictures of him! Its nice when they hold still! haha. My little terror doesn't like to hold still much. And she has selective hearing so it makes it a lot more difficult. haha.
I love the pics of him with your retro glasses! So cute!
He looks a lot like you! :D
Lil Budoy...thanks! I thought the glasses were pretty fun too. As for my layout, I did it from scratch in Photoshop...
Danielle...he totally has selective hearing too. No means nothing to him. Should be interesting when he gets older!
Ah, great pictures! Your son is so cute!
oh wow! He is so stinking handsome, and he has your eyes! Very pretty pictures Erin!
The glasses are fun, and look good on both of you :)

P.S. You asked if we had Mirage bars here in NL (over here: http://atlanticatlantis.blogspot.com/2011/03/stormtroopers-shadow.html), and the answer is yes! We do! If you ever need me to send you some, let me know. :)
Nikki...thanks!
Mikaela...Yeah, the glasses were so damn cute on him!
Alycia...:D
Sarah...YES! I may have to take you up on that offer!!
Ah, these photos are sooo cute! I'm glad you posted them. And it's slightly disturbing to think of your baby as Bubbles, but I'll run with it... ; )
Glad the blanket survived too!
Your son is a real cutie and is gonna be a total heart breaker! I love the photos of you wearing the glasses too - your blog post gave me a mega big smile. X
what a handsome little guy!!!! i know what you mean about boys and their inability to sit still, a couple of my gf's have young ones like Ben and man alive they are forever running after them.
oh boy, the creeper scenario, that is kinda scary but know that right now pure eyes are peeking in and loving the share from your escapades. the photo of him wearing your glasses is epic! have a great rest of the weekend. ♥
<3 <3 <3 x1000!!
Thanks everyone! Perhaps I'll post more photos of the wee one :D
What an adorable little guy he is:) I love those curls too-you'll have to make sure when he gets a hair cut that you save some of those curls for his scrapbook:)
Awwwww!!! Awesome photos =D Your little guy is so cute! (Nice cameo as well by your new amazing traumatized-by-the-washing-machine blanket!)
Can I steal him please? Thank you :)
Such a little cutie!!
He's such a doll! Love that comforter, btw :)
