The SHIRT!

There is a special tradition in the Melban family that I am so proud to be a part of. About 54 years ago Grandmother Mae made Charlie a shirt. (Charlie is Cameron's dad.) He wore it for his 1 year old pictures. Then when Charlie's brother Sid came along he wore it on his birthday and then Jerry followed when he was one. Then along came Cameron. So you get the point. All the grandsons wore this shirt in their 1st birthday picture so when we had Gracelyn (first great-grandchild) I thought why not? It was super cute with her bows! Also I thought we better do this in case we only ever have girls! Well~we got Cannon's picture made today in "the shirt". It is so fun to do this and have another child added to the collage at Nese's house. Can't wait for baby #3 to be able to wear it as well. Cannon looked so handsome and the lady at the photo place is going to enter the 2nd picture in a contest because of him being just adorable and the meaning behind the shirt. So all in all what a great day to spread the tradition of our family and to be able to show off Cannon at the same time. Oh by the way~ Cannon got a haircut last week. Doesn't he look older? Less baby like and more toddler.




On another note~Cannon took 4-5 steps on Sunday afternoon when I got home and he continues to take a few more steps each day. Although he is taking steps I would not consider him a walker by any means. My hip is where he would rather be any day!
