Baby Gone ~ Sigh.

Two years ago... Baby Leif Benjamin was born.

Now the baby face is turning into a little boy face.

It's killing me. It really is.

It kills you to see them grow up.
But I guess it would kill you quicker if they didn't.

I am SO with you. It kills me, too. Mine is going on three and is such a BOY. No baby left--except a little fat on the thighs!! :)
A great picture, too--love the various effects!!
I love babies and all things kid--so we're trying for #2! :) They change too fast!!

Well, at least while you gaze upon his still adorable, but not-so-baby-anymore face ... you can imagine it with lots of different Boutwell actions applied to it!!

At least his feet still don't touch the ground ...

Amy~ I'm using Photoshop with Totally Rad Photoshop actions (and a few free Pioneer Woman action downloads here and there...). It is addicting, I tell ya...

skeller~ Now to figure out how to choose *one* action... ;-)

I don't know how you could decide which photo! I love seeing how you play though with your pics.

I have no babies...but my boy still love their mommy and like to cuddle! That helps.

Hi Heidi

I will be where you are now in two years time. Blake is just over six weeks now. I relate to what you're saying though, as I see my little girl growing up so quickly.

The quote you included in this post is so true.

Love
Elise
