For veracity's sake, so you won't foolishly believe my prince is always smiling, laughing, and beautiful, I'll include those photos of Colin that I swept off the cutting room floor:




P.S. I apologize for these photos being so horribly dark, but, alas, this working mama can't be home to shoot when the light is more favorable.
