{Happy Birthday Dad & Kiira}!
However, this edition of Then & Now is actually for my mom! This is one of her favorite photos!
September 2007 & August 2010 The "Then" photo was taken in September 2007 while we were living in the Seattle area. It's hard to tell in the photo, but basically, our 4 month old baby boy is sitting in a mesh hamper {you know...one of those pop-up kinds?} I can't quite remember why we placed him in the hamper, but it must have seemed like a good idea at the time, as we're nothing but very responsible parents! Obviously he's always been wise beyond his years {notice the questioning look on his face?} Even he knows this isn't normal behavior. Whatever the reason, I'm sure we were sleep deprived and thus found it extremely entertaining at the time!
Now, flash forward almost 3 years and the "Now" photo was taken this morning. This photo op was not planned initially, but Ryne was walking around with the exact same {albeit extremely ratty} mesh hamper over his head and part of his body. By now, he's warmed up quite nicely to the often strange requests and going-ons in the Lawson household, and happily obliged when I asked him to sit in the hamper instead.
Some families capture the growth of their child by sitting them next to a cherished stuffed animal every month / year, or even create hash marks on the wall. Oh no. Not us. There's nothing wrong with thinking outside the box...or inside the hamper!

Yes that was one of my favorites!! I have to say, he's filling out that hamper quite nicely. Love it
Kaylynn loves to put ours over her head and run around the house. :)
