so if you've been reading this blog for a while now you know it's not uncommon for me to feel that an impromptu photoshoot in target/fred meyer/costco/the fabric store/insert-any-other-weird-public-place-here is totally necessary. because duh, it is.
the other day, as i was uploading the most recent batch of parker-in-a-shopping-cart pictures, it dawned on me that dang... i have a whole collection of these bad boys. i felt the need to revisit some of the earlier ones & that's exactly what today's flashback friday is all about.
here goes. {almost} a full year of p-ray in a shopping cart.
december 2, 2010 - target. my first day out with the new camera. parker is about 7 months old & can barely sit up in the cart. squishy, floppy, little chub.

december 11, 2010 - fred meyer. epic mom fail... nuff said.

february 16, 2011 - target. just got back from hawaii & needed a pick me up. obviously this worked. parker's about ten months & extremely happy about this trip to target.

april 5, 2011 - costco. another rainy day shopping trip, which was pretty much the highlight of our day. eleven months & not too sure about the sample lady.

august 22, 2011 - joann fabric. clearly a bit delirious from the amount of fabric shopping i'd been doing. sixteen months & chewing with his mouth open.

september 8, 2011 - costco. he's just here for the samples.

october 3, 2011 - joann fabric. again... not too pleased with the fabric store. seventeen months & wearing the same jacket as picture #2.
and there ya have it. from seven months to seventeen. this kid puts up with a lot of shopping.
do you think i'll be able to get pictures like these up until he's eighteen & headed to college? like, "here's parker, sitting in the cart picking out sheets for his dorm at target." i might... because yes, i am that crazy.
happy friday, yo.

I always love your shopping cart pics!!! How fun to look back on them :) um, also can he be any cuter???
ReplyDeletethis is so funny, because every time i go to take a picture of my kiddo in a shopping cart, i always think about the pictures of parker in a shopping cart!! he is so cute. i don't know how you stand it.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the one where he's going in for the lick! :)
ReplyDeletelol!!!! what adorable pictures!!
ReplyDeleteHA! Adorable. Yep, we have a ton of those pics too. Great to do a post looking back at his shopping adventures through the year(s). Love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd totally made me laugh about him going off to collage and you getting the shopping cart pic ... it'd just be so hysterical I hope he lets you do it! Bwahahaahaawa!
I love this post. Probably because I love doing this same kind of post and seeing just how much my kid has changed over time.
ReplyDeleteso cute, i love these photos!

The shot of Parker trying to lick the cart handle is one of my all time favourite Parker pictures! Remember how exciting it was the first time they sat in a cart???? Now, if I only I could convince Kale to sit in the cart for more than five seconds...
ReplyDeleteJust after Ethan turned 6 months old I started doing a lot of freelance styling for photoshoots. So we were shopping EVERYDAY lol. Four years later though he still doesn't mind shopping with me.
ReplyDeleteThat second photo had me laughing so hard at work that I'm sure the person in the office next to me heard it. Precious!
ReplyDeleteHAHA! I really hope that he lets you take pics of him in the shopping cart when he is going to college!
ReplyDeleteYES! These are great! PLEASE make him sit in the cart when he is 18.
ReplyDeleteLove them! And you can also see how talented a photographer you have become too!
ReplyDeleteHe he. I love them. I remember that first shot. Doesn't seem that long ago.
ReplyDeleteHe is the cutest kid ever!! Love this post.. The target shots are adorable :P
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful weekend.
Parker always looks soooo happy. Love this post -- I shop too much. I'm sure I'll have plenty of these photos in a year.
ReplyDeletesuper cute pics! Okay - I am wondering what kind of camera you have?? I have been wanting to get a "mom camera" for quite some time now but don't want to spend a fortune but I want to know the pictures come out awesome - and yours are really good. Do you edit them once you get home or is that how they naturally come out? Can you let me know the make/model/price? Thanks Amy!!
ReplyDeleteall those teeth in that second to last photo... cracks me up! he is just too cute! they always look so funny when they first start getting all their teeth in. great photos.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. I remember the pic of him licking the cart! I can't believe how much bigger he's gotten!
ReplyDeletehow awesome is this?! i love that you have all of these pictures of him in a shopping cart. you rule.
ReplyDeleteWow, I remember all but the first picture. I didn't realize I'd been reading your blog for so long. I absolutely love this and can't believe how much he's changed over the months.
ReplyDeleteToo funny! LOVE the one where he is skeptical of the sample lady... lol Little ones are so honest.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your son in those trucker hats!
ReplyDeleteLOL! the one of parker licking the shopping cart is by far the best ever! i've been laughing out loud for a good 5 minutes. "epic mom fail"...LOL.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I bet 18 year old Parker would appreciate you decorating his dorm walls with his first year of shopping cart shots ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is freaking adorable! I miss taking my camera with me everywhere!
