This is my lovely boy. I adore this photo because he looks so happy, cuddled up in a big fluffy towel after his bath, showing his tiddly teeth. I love to see his dad’s hands either side of his head; so strong and protective.
He is now 14. I managed to snap this photo of him last summer when he had a nice short haircut. He has since grown it longer so I can’t see his face properly to get a decent photo!
The theme for this week’s Gallery at Sticky Fingers blog is ‘Portrait’. Pop over to Tara’s site to see more…
Love the eyes, I think you have a heartbreaker on your hands there
Amazing how they grow from that little thing into something big and handsome.
Ah how he's grown. Amazing eyelashes in the first photo.
De-lish! Just-washed babes are the best!They have such a beautiful smell! He's clearly grown into a looker as well!
Hasn't changed a bit…
(Don't tell him that!)
Gorgeous gorgeous photo. I love pix like that which really warm your heart and take you right back to when they were younger
So glad I have no daughters – your boy would be far too easy to get a crush on! It's terrifying I find to see hwo they grow from so little to so very, very, independent!
I think your photography skills for pic 1 are great..he looks so happy and cute and is obviously (pic 2) turning into a looker!
Dont go mad Trish but the photo of Rory as a baby could be you!!! Lovely to look back on and our Rory is just as lovely now as he was then. What a great theme. Eileen xxx
HA! I spent ages looking at the photo thinking there is no way that child is 14 and I can't see his hair …..and then I scrolled down!!!!!!!!! Very Funny!!!
Nice photos too x
OMG – I'm sitting here stunned. He is SO like my sister's son (17) that it's uncanny. I will have to find a photo to show you. I'm going to send this to my sis right now.
What a handsome boy! You must be so proud.
Lovely pictures….my 15 year old runs a mile when I point the camera at him. He's going to go mad when/if he finds out I've posted the one picture I have of him this week. ;0)
Your boy is gorgeous!
What a fine looking lad you have there.
I too am stared at through a nose drenching fringe – boys! Who said girls were harder eh? eh?
Great comparison – lovely pics x
Both are fantastic photos – amazing how fast it all flies by. Lovely photos x
Gorgeous. I love tiny teeth!
Wow, both lovely pics!! Am guessing it is hard to get teenagers to comply to having nice photos taken!!
That is a beautiful photograph, and he has certainly become a very handsome young man.

Both lovely photos, but the first one particularly – I found myself smiling as I looked at it – always the sign of a great pic! x
Those are lovely. I love the way you can see the (nearly) man he is now in the little boy he was.
How lovely to see both pictures! I love his grin in the firs and that you can see it is still there waiting to peek out in the second!
I'm so delighted to read your comments. I normally ask my son permission to use his photos but forgot this time. He happened to see the scanned baby photo next to the computer and I was caught red-handed. Received a teenage scowl for my sins.
@expatmum – seems your nephew's parents can see the family resemblance between the two boys. Isn't that lovely!
What a handsome chap! The teenage girls around your way had better watch out…
What a handsome boy you have!
so beautiful – love it xxx
Excellent photos – he looks like a very confident young man!
Love the first picture and doesn't he look like you in the second?
Gosh, Trish…he was so like him if you know what I mean. Some babies just look blobbish or like any other baby ( not that one would ever say so to adoring parents), but this could only be Rory.Adorable.Gorgeous piccies.
