We went back to Sears for more portraits of 9-month-old Louis Benjamin. Enjoy!
The best part about getting the images on disk is that they give you all the outtakes, too!
And, evidently, if you juxtapose a cute one with a bunch of goofy ones, it's called a "personality collage"!
For his first Halloween, Louis went as Luigi (if you didn't know, Luigi is a character from the various "Mario Brothers" video games--Mario's brother, in fact). This was mostly inspired by the fact that we referred to him as Luigi when he was in utero.
Here are the requisite posed seasonal shots:
...and some nice family shots:
This Boelter Family
Luigi and Grandpa Boelter
Garth (Ryan), Mimi (Rachel), and Luigi
But the funniest part of the whole thing was the mustache! Louis didn't like the application (hence the irregularity) or removal thereof (it's hypoallergenic eyebrow pencil, not Sharpie, don't worry), but didn't mind it once it was on. So fun to watch him do mundane things like eat, take a bath, etc., with a silly mustache! We should draw one on every day!
Oh yeah, and we made jack-o-lanterns, but the squirrels ate pieces of their faces before we could light 'em up. Also, strangely, there were very few trick-or-treaters on our block. Oh well, more candy for This Boelter family!
You know us! We're St. Louis natives and Seattle residents Amy, Josh, Louis, and Vivienne Boelter.
This Boelter Family also includes the indefatigable Sylvie and the insatiable Macchiato!
