Les Popoviches: June 2009

Mr. Wolf and his 9 whole months...

Sunday, June 28, 2009

Hard to believe that James Wolf Popovich, aka, Jellybean (that's what we call him) turned 9 months old, already! This year seems to be flying by... our little man can almost crawl now, has 4 teeth, a whole lot of curiosity and EVEN MORE ENERGY. We have been trying to make everyday special, to make every day count, to live it as if today was all we had and getting better and better at it I am happy to say!

This photo shoot was technically the most difficult so far (Papavich, aka the prop. guy, was put to the test as James was constantly taking off his hat and grabbing at his lion-friend) but we still managed to get our shot.

Here is to 9 wondeful months Jellybean!

1/2 Republican, 1/2 Homie = 1 Mr. Baby

Thursday, June 25, 2009

Who knew!!!! We sure didn't... didn't have a clue actually that our little boy is 1/2 Republican, 1/2 Homie, yo!

Pre-round/ debate stretch...

About to head out and hang with his b-dawgs (baby dawgs)

The park and the toupet

They say good things come to those who wait; James Wolf has waited his whole life to try the swings and boy oh boy can that little boy ever swing!

And a little push from Mamavich...

"Weee... up you go little wolf! Now isn't that fun?
Weeeeee!"

100% happiness! Pure bliss! (Well, kind of...)

"Uh oh! That does not look like a
100% happy face..."

"Oh, I'm sorry I let your toupet slip James!
I'm such a terrible mother!"

Cuddoodles!

James W. is turning out to be quite the little cuddle bug (cuddle wolf?)

I pout, you pout, we all pout!

I don't now about you. but this photo just makes me want to, well POUT!

Identi-pout!

Mornin' slide-around!

James has not ye figured out how to crawl, but boy oh boy can her ever slide, backward and in circles that is...

Cheese... and bananas, please!

James loves to eat more than he loves anything else in this world.

"Spare some cheese, sir?"

"Sucker!"

Oh yes, James loves to Jolly Jump almost as much as he loves cheese and bananas!

8 month old... hippie baby?

It's never too early to instill some good values and some common sense in the little guy... LIKE WEARING TYE DYE! I don't care what it's on, Adrian and I just love its bright, unpredictable swirls and psychedelic connotations. Furthermore, hippies were all about love and music and sharing... so on his 8 month old birthday, James Wolf had his first taste of the 60's (so to speak).

"I can't believe I'm already 8 years old."

8 months old silly-willie-hippie, not 8 years!
( yes, those are purple moccasins!)

L-O-V-E!

Jelly... jelly... jellybean (and some blocks)!

James Wolf used to LOVE playing with these blocks (they have tiny holes and them and when strung together, make a snake). Alas, now, he had tired of them... and how!

Pre-block playing back stretch

And the playing begins...

More playing...

Still more?

Club mama on the head... with a wet sock?

James and I had ourselves a little photo shoot one hot summer afternoon. Papavich took many, many photos of us in all kinds of different positions, looking right, looking left, smiling, not smiling, posing, not posing...

Aww....

How sweet...

James.... ummm? What's he up to? Is that a sock beside his knee?
A wet sock?

Oh my...

Ode to James' green hoodie...

Although this second-hand heather green hoodie is for 3-6 months, James is still wearing it and we just love it. I mean LOVE it! Fort an ode to our favorite hat (not much much too small), now an ode to our favorite sweater (soon to be departed). Bring out the Kleenex boxes ladies...
