I feel like most months I can pull off a pretty successful mini-photo shoot for the kiddos. This was certainly not the case this month. I've read enough articles to know that if your toddler isn't in the mood, no amount of forcing will make it happen. I tried cajoling, to the mixed results you see below. I still think the photos turned out cute, but there isn't a classic "Awww look at those brothers happily sitting next to each other on their chair" pose:

This is the closest I got, actually. But then I decided Henry's safari pants clashed with the sticker color and took a short break to change him. I think Thomas took that to mean that I was done...

Without his brother to support him, Henry had a bit of trouble staying upright. But falling over didn't seem to bother him, he actually found it quite humorous!

Thomas was more interested in his choo-choo and hiding from the camera. Henry was trying hard to keep tabs on his big brother, but Thomas is pretty darn fast when he wants to be!

This boy must be round bottomed, because he is topsy-turvy! And I love, love, love his eyes when they catch the light. I think he and Matt have identical eye color, so no surprise I already love it, huh? :)

I also love you can see his hair wispies. It's getting longer in the front and it makes me think he looks like a surfer dude, albeit not one with a whole lot of hair.

If expressions could speak, this one would be asking why I still had the camera out and could we please just play with the choo-choo??

And a smile at last!!

I'm beginning to think that the moods of a toddler are a lot like the weather in Texas - if you don't like it, just wait a few minutes and it will change. Ha! :)
