What's with the bunny?

You may be asking yourself that question when you see the next shot. Or maybe you have wondered about Benjamin's bear pictures... Well, here is your answer. We decided to try to capture just how quickly Noah was growing by taking his picture each month with the same object. At just two weeks old, the Easter bunny brought him this giant Thumper.
And we thought that would be the perfect accompaniment for our monthly pictures. What we did not take in to account was that Thumper is not capable of standing up on his own. We usually ended up trying to prop him up against a chair or wedging his tail in between the chair rails to get him in to position and then would position Noah only to have Thumper tip over again before the picture was taken. We also had the smart idea of taking these pictures on top of the kitchen table so we could not take our hands off Noah. And, for added fun, we always seem to remember to take these pictures in the evening - not Noah's best time of the day. He was always jumping and fidgeting or screaming. And yet, we somehow still managed to look forward to this picture each month. So much so that we decided we would continue the tradition by taking Noah's picture with Thumper every birthday. We did not, however, think it needed to be done on the table anymore. And it is a good thing, too, because picture time turned into rabbit-wrestlefest. Take a look...
