the football: year 4

today bauer is four. per tradition, every year we have his picture made with his daddy with his football, just like the day he was born. this morning.

at age three.

at age two. (see i told you he didn't always have a ton of hair.)

at age one. (ahhhh....look at the thunder cookies!)

and as a newborn. man, that ball is really shrinking!!

in addition, i think i need to record the fact that this year bauer's instinct wasn't just to hold the ball and pose. we had a couple takes, one of which involved some sort of heismann thing?! oh my...i hope i'm equipped to handle this growing boy! :)
