I have been feeling guilty lately for the lack of pictures there are to remember Jack’s first year. I know that this tends to happen with youngest children, but having a mom as a photographer, my bet is Jack is going to feel gypped. The reason I feel so bad is that it really only takes about 10 minutes of one on one time with him to get a few good shots. He is such a happy little man, so usually he is pretty camera ready. Today I made it a point to take him up to my room and document him at 10 months…
