More about Waylon's first six months when I get a chance, but until then, here's the first installment of a photo series we've been working on. In case you can't tell, it's a play on those shots you sometimes see of a father cradling his newborn baby in an extended arm, with the man often times inexplicably shirtless. I've seen tasteful versions of this, but more often than not they are so over the top cheesy that I can't help but chuckle. It probably works best with a small infant or even a preemie in the palm of one's hand, not a nearly nine pounder like Waylon was! At six months old he's no longer so chunky (25th-50th percentile), but at 28 1/4 inches, he's over the 95th percentile for length.
(All credit for the original concept goes to the owner of the Flickr set from whom I borrowed the idea.)
NEWBORN:

ONE MONTH OLD:

TWO MONTHS OLD:

THREE MONTHS OLD:

CAUTION: Do not try this at home. May lead to bickering, arm strain, or fingers uncomfortably lodged around baby's neck. Balancing a baby in one arm is apparently more difficult than it looks, no matter how many times the photographer pleads, "Higher! No, farther out! Wait, move your hand! No, not like that!"

Of course the men should be shirtless.... :-) Great photos and happy 6th month birthday to baby Waylon.
I love it! Joe's a good sport :) I know you don't want to hear this but he totally looks like a little boy in that last shot. Baby Waylon's growing up!
"Inexplicably shirtless" haha, love it!
I think he looks like Superman in the last shot! This is so cute! And you're explanation, so funny!
That is so cute! And he looks like he loves it!
This is beautiful. What a way to document the months literally flying by! I am amazed at how fast it goes this next time around. Love Waylon's look in the last shot especially.
Love it!
