Buzz is Five Months Old!

Every month, I take a photo of our son sitting in his Uncle Chris’ childhood rocking chair, just like I did with our daughter.  Here he is at five months...

This month marks the first time EVER that Navy and I came to an impasse when it came to the winning shot.  Navy picked the one above.  I wanted one of the ones of Buzz's incredible smile.  My argument was, he smiles ALL THE TIME.  Why not let that be reflected in his monthly shots?  Navy pointed out that Tink had a lot of variance in her expressions from month to month...and we did that on purpose.  He was right.  I knew he was right.  I KNOW he was right.  But I still see this photo below and think, man, that should've been it.  In the end I conceded (obviously) because I KNOW he's right.  But... smiles...

These were a couple of the other shots we considered.  I love his eyebrows in this first one...

And then the eyebrows AND grin in this one...Oh how I do love this boy.  :)

And, as is tradition, here's the side-by-side comparison from month to month:
