Jaden Turns 3... where is my baby?




It seems like only yesterday, that we stayed up late, holding him in our arms, praying that he would sleep through the night - now I treasure the hugs and kisses that are given so freely - and even though I know that he is growing up... it's hard to see that my baby is gone - he's turned into a little boy - all boy, little boy!





A friend from work, Linda came to our home to take Jaden's 3 year old portraits - these a just a couple of the WONDERFUL shots that Linda captured! You have to check out her site for other wonderful work that she does.

On Jaden's actual 1st birthday (2006)- first thing before out of bed. I remember making a point of greeting Jaden with the camera that day... he had so many pictures taken of him on the date of his actual birth, that I wanted a few from exactly a year later.





Jaden's 2nd year portrait - the more things change, the more they stay the same!
