They grow so fast

I could remember the days my sister use to let him sleep over when he was a toddler. He was a cuddler, liked to cuddle and I loved every minute of it. He would snuggle up really close, hug me, and kiss my cheek (he melted my heart). Then he grew up, and believe it or not, he still likes to cuddle but in a different kind of way. You know, the "Titi, let me see if I can carry you" kind of way, or wrestling with his uncle, or snatching his cousins hat from his head and running away. That's his way of saying...I love you. He's a teenager now, just turned 15 a few weeks ago. We did a mini session in order to make some invitations for his birthday party. I didn't think it was going to happen because, well, he's ALWAYS goofing around in front of the camera. He actually told me "naw Titi, that's not my thing". I guess his mom talked me out of it and I was so happy he agreed. We had such a nice time and I was very impressed with my new teenage nephew. He's growing up! He actually let me take his picture, and he wasn't crossing his eyes. Look how handsome he is. I love him so much, wish I could pick him up, hold him close, and kiss his cheek but, I will have to settle with letting him pick me up for now. I love you Elijah. Muah!








He likes to play chess so I wanted to get him in action. Taught me a couple things, I can't play if my life depended on it but, looks interesting;)
