There’s something so special about growing up around the game of baseball. So many life lessons to be learned, so many memories to be made. I had to giggle when Dakota was purposely putting the ball in Grayson’s left hand! I can already tell that Grayson is mesmerized by the game that his Dad fell in love with and I had so much fun capturing Grayson as his is right now—obsessed with trying to put the ball in his mouth, amused by third base, and captivated by learning and processing all of the new and exciting things around him.

Karisten & Dakota,

I can’t believe your sweet baby boy is turning 1! Before you know it he’ll be walking all around and his babble will start to sound like sentences. You have the hardest job but the most beautiful one. I hope you guys can live in this season fully because it will be here and gone so fast. I’ve loved being a part of Grayson’s first trip around the sun!
