And the Race is on...

We decided to take some new pictures of Jackson thisweekend and set up the Photography Grand Prix, but our main star needed a pit stop before we got out of the gate...He fell asleep while Daddy was setting up the camera, but it turned out to be a great picture:
After a 25 minute sleep delay, the star woke up and the race was on. Don't you just love his summertime look? We took about 50 pictures but here are some of the favorites. The championship was supposed to go to a photo of Jack actually smiling, but he takes his racing seriously and in a 50 laps, this is as close as we could get. Still a great picture:
He stares and stares at the big camera and its flash but doesn't want to smile. Instead, he practices his thoughtful look for when he gets a television interview:
At one point, a race competitor snuck up behind Jackson, vying for attention herself, but Jackson remained in the 1st place position:
Jackson stayed cool under pressure, lounging casually:
After the race, Jackson posed for a victory shot with his Mommy:
Then, Jackson decided to dress up to celebrate his win. He chose a great summery outfit, full of style:

He even called in the 2nd place racer for some publicity shots:

  1. Lori, I love all of the pictures. He is growing up so fast. Your commentary is precious, it is so typical for a baby to conk out or start screaming before the first photo.
