Today, am dedicating this post to my first born. First off, he’s amazing (and it is not just his mom saying this), but he really is. My red-headed blue eye eyes 11 pound and change baby. Yep, kid was a linebacker when he was born. 

Love my kiddos Halloween costume! WE had to go all out and get a Harley inspired motorcycle for the whole look!

Love how this little boy has turned into a little man!

One of his first "pro" shoots and he killed it! In the sunflowers in South Jersey!

Rocco and his sister. she would only get dressed up, if only her brother was there. Otherwise, no dresses!

One of our most recent shoots. This boy killed it! Taken In Philadelphia.

He’ll be turning 11 this summer. I cannot say how proud of him I am. Rocco is like an old soul in a little man’s body. Truly articulate and always wanting to debate or get into an intellectual conversation. He’s a chill, ho with the flow, pretty independent kid. He’s got a sarcastic and dry sense of humor and even gets one over myself, on occasions. I really could not be more proud, as his mom. 

Another one of my crazy Halloween costume ideas. Of course, had to be dramatic with the fire.

Just Rocco being a cute little guy!

Taken right down the street in Woodstown. Where we lived.

Love you little guy! MWAH!!!

This year, he graduates his school that he has known for 5 years and next year, he’ll be officially in 6th grade. It’s kind of the rite of passage for preteens. I already see a bit of the attitude and already see the change from the boy to “a man.” As he continues to grow and eat like a monster. 

Needless to say, I am proud of him. His sister loves him to death and considers him, her best friend. He truly is an amazing child and I cannot wait to see the man, he becomes. I see bright things in his future. Maybe engineering! Although, he says he likes to be on the debate team. Maybe a lawyer?! 

Woodstown and the Shoemaker school should be proud to have you kid! I am very excited for your future! Keep looking at the stars. 

Love always,

Mom
