Alexis Poses

I took some pics of Alexis

for her 1st Birthday Party Invitation.

Look at all my teeth!

I love the camera!

I can stick out my tongue!

Ha ha ha!

I love to play peek-a-boo!

Here's my mellow side!

Alexis is 11 months old!

Smiling Max

Here is Max without his glasses.

He's a happy kid no matter what!

I took some pics of Handsome Max

for his 1st Birthday Invitation.

Max really got into it!

He moves very quick!

He loves sticking out his tongue.

When he was first born he did that a lot!

Sweet, Adorable Max!

Isn't he just the cutest?

I took all of these pictures and then found

out that I needed to take his picture vertical

for the invitation. Oh well, I get to take

more pictures which I love to do!

You're lucky if you get all 3 in the picture.
