RAD pixels photography

This sweetie pie is turning one is just a few days, and I thought it would be great to sit him down on my pretty blanket and snap some cute photos of him sitting there, smashing his cake, pleasantly sitting still.  Ha!  Yeah, right!  This kid is on the move, people.  He didn't even want to sit still for a ride in his super awesome all-terrain wagon.  I'm glad mom and dad can keep up with him!
