“Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven.”

Well it's been a while since my last post and quite honestly it had been a while since I picked up my camera for anything that I felt was worth sharing.  Finally, I decided it was time to escape the uninspiring, humdrum of winter, pick up my camera and take advantage of a certain 4 month old that I happen to be absolutely 100% in love with.

I have followed this little one from when he was in his mommy's tummy, to when he was a month old and now we were able to capture some 4 month old memories.  

I'm not going to lie - they don't get much cuter than Henry here!

"So quickly you grow with bounds and leaps but the sweetest memories are mine for keeps."

What a dubious look - he is not so sure about this camera business!

"Children will not remember you for the material things you provided, but for the feeling that you cherished them."

"Build me a son, whose heart will be clear, whose goals will be high...
A son who will master himself before he seeks to master other men; one who will learn to laugh, yet never forget to weep...
One who will reach into the future, yet never forget the past."

There was a necessary nap break in between shots... just a quick cat nap, no big deal!

"Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get ...
It's what you are expected to give - which is everything." 

"I hope your dreams take you to the corners of your smiles, to the highest of your hopes... 
to the windows of your opportunities...
 And to the most special places your heart has ever known."

Henry's face is priceless... he's not so sure about this morning's activities.

 "The times when you have seen only one set of footprints, is when I carried you."

"A babe in the house is a well-spring of pleasure, a messenger of peace and love, a resting place for innocence on earth, a link between angels and men."

And scene. The star has had enough.
