Year One: Gus

My nephew Gus is a true character!!!!
He loves to make people laugh!
He walks around the house with a blanket on his head
for the sole purpose of making someone laugh!
My family and I are able to spend the Holidays with Gus and his parents this year
so it is now appropriately named GUSMAS 2016!
Also, my brother and his wife Kelly moved to a new state, in a new home,
about a month before these photos were taken!
So although they would have loved to accomplish more house to-do’s before I visited,
the photos are such a memorable chapter in their lives!
(Gus’ newborn session is here.)

Always have to watch your back with a one year old in the house!

BTW, photographing a one year old is one of the HARDEST tasks EVER.
They do not sit still for more than 3 seconds.
And they don’t listen to your photo ideas haha

For most of these smiles, I had to put something on my head….
then he would laugh and laugh.

A box is the perfect remedy to contain a one year old
and allow them to use their crayons to draw all over it:

He is SO expressive. He’s so proud to be standing on the counter alone!

After wanting mom’s Starbucks cup all the time,
Gus finally got his own empty cup as a toy ahhaha

Gus’ cousin Emmy visits him every Friday: )
He LOVES her.

Drinking sparkling water haha
