What is the best thing about your Godmother being a photographer? Annual photos sessions! Carter is a summer baby… He actually shares the same birthday as Ryan. Wanting to give him a new experience for his birthday photos, we waited till fall season to schedule Carter’s 6th Birthday photos! To keep up with tradition, we choose Eden Park with a great Cincinnati Skyline view for his photos since his older sister was about his age when we choose this adorable Ohio park for her photos. Only, this time it was a little chillier as the wind was blowing and, well… it was late November. AKA fall weather in FULL swing! So… you may be wondering a little bit about Carter himself. Well… he a true child of the technology age. This boy loves his tablet (more than people most days)! I feel like I hear about Roblox often from him. But can we really judge, most adults I know hangs out on their phones constantly. However, he does enjoy some more traditional kid stuff, such as Legos! You can never go wrong with Legos with him. My gift to him for his birthday was a Lego kit and he choose to sit at the table to put it together oppose to go swimming. At first, we were putting it together a team… but my talking with the other adults left him impatient and he continued to build the set himself. I will say so myself, but he did a pretty darn good job! Carter is an amazing reader and very intelligent! As he suffers from ADD, school is not Carter’s jam, even though he’s so smart! However, he has made some great strides this year and only a small handful of setbacks! Watching him grow and develop, makes me a super proud Godmother. Carter, I had a blast hanging out with you… even if it was SUPER cold fall Cincinnati day for you. As you continue to grow, I’m excited to watch your personality continue to develop into a great lil guy. You may be as stubborn as the day is long, but you can be a sweetheart! Can’t wait till we get to this again in a few months! Love, Aunt Colie
