Since Alex's birthday and baptism are next month I decided to go and take some pictures of him for his baptism program cover before it gets too cold. I had 3 more locations I wanted to go to but we had to get home because Chloe was about to pee her pants and we needed to let Bernie out as well. So I didn't get very many but I think there are a few keepers in the bunch.
I wanted a kind of fall feel. Alyssa's look summery and he is my fall baby so it seemed like the way to go. The park I went to didn't have a lot of color yet and like I said I did not get to my other intended stops but there was enough color to be able to identify the season at least.
I think Alex has an awesome natural smile and is pretty photogenic but he was giving me a bit of a nervous canned smile all day and when I saw this one I immediately saw the resemblance to my same 2nd grade canned smile...
Seth will never admit that they look like me but here I am in 2nd grade...do you see it?
Here's a more natural one.
And one of each girl just so they wouldn't feel left out...
Dang white socks are showing...oops!
Alex also requested a shot with Bernie so we took this in the backyard when we got home.
And this funny one with Bernie sticking his tongue out.
While we were out there the sun was peeking through our willow tree and I thought it looked so pretty so I took a picture of that too.
And this next one is my favorite of all but I feel like it is kind of a weird pose to put on a baptism program...doesn't look reverent and composed enough but I like it.
Which one would you use?

Great pictures!
And for the record- I think your kids all look like you but Alex really looks like you!
My favorites were:
The 2nd one with his back to the bridge. His smile is a little less natural but he looks cute and relaxed.
I love the one right after the picture of you that is a close up with a natural smile.
The 2nd one of him in the tree- it's so cute and playful
And I love the one at the end that you like.
Great color and great pictures. I can't believe he is almost 8 though. Time is flying.
You got some great pics. I see so much little Julie in that picture. Love how s
His shirt matches the fall colors. Tuff choice. I like the 3rd pic , the one after your 2nd grade pic, Ans the last one too. It'll be here before u know it.
I'm afraid I'm on track with Makinzee. But all the pictures are terrific and I really like the one with the brick wall, too. And the one with Bernie's tongue hanging out. So so cute! What a fun time for all of you!
I would use the one where his socks are showing. Haha...kidding, that pic is so funny/awkward.
Seriously though, you should use the one where he is in the tree smiling (the pic right above the one of Alyssa), it is SO cute!!
I'm so glad my kid isn't the only one that sometimes has a forced looking smile. Seriously, her school pictures are always the worst when it comes to her smile, but of course I can't tell her that, or always try to get them retaken. That's why we get a class picture and the one or two other individual sizes that come in the package, but never really do anything with those pictures. We always just take our own.
That said, if you hadn't pointed out Alex's canned smile I don't know that I would have noticed in that picture. I guess it's always easier to see it in your own kids.
You really could use any of these pictures for the program, but my 2 favorites are picture 3 (second one with his back leaning against the bridge) and picture 7 (with his back leaning against the tree with his arms folded). In my numbering I'm not counting the one of you. He does look like you though!
What park did you go to?
I like the 3rd one down and the one in the tree with the big smile. I love the one in the leaves too but not for baptism.
I love the leaves one or the second one in the tree. He does look a lot like you. All your kids are so cute.
Great pictures! I love the ones of him up in the tree!
These are great! Lots to choose from. I recognize one of those locations...hahaha. I'd say number three, The one with his hand on the brick wall, and the last one. I can't believe how big Bernie is already. Why did I think he was going to be much smaller full grown?
Holly, That is Lincoln Park. Nice park, crappy neighborhood.
Jen, Don't let Bernie fool you...he is mostly hair. He has doubled in size though since we got him. He was 6 pounds to begin with and was 12 last week, but under the hair he is still tiny. Eventually I will cut it but I think the fluff is pretty cute. He will end up being 30 pounds at the most but some Cockapoos are closer to the 20-25 pound range. He should be full grown by 6-8 months old so we will see soon.
