I Heart Faces Photo Challenge | All Boy {June 2012}

Photo Challenge Submission

This photo was submitted to the I Heart Faces photo challenge – www.iheartfaces.com.  Check out all the other great entries!!


This theme was an easy pick for me! My sweet nephew.  He is all boy!  When I think of boys, I think that they will grow up to be men, I think strength, courage and heart!  This sweetheart has it all.  He hasn't had the easiest life and he's only 8 months old.  He was born with a congenital heart defect and underwent open heart surgery at 5 days old.  His heart is doing great now, but from the trauma of his birth he tweaked a nerve in his neck which caused him to favor only turning his head to one side.  So, last month, he was fitted for his helmet.  Well, being the boy that he is my sister and I decided to have fun with it.  We are in Texas and of course are Texas Longhorns fans.  It was an easy pick to makes this sweet boy a football player!  Now he can represent his football team everyday!  If that doesn't scream BOY, I don't know what does!!!

  3. Amazing. I am glad he is doing well! How scary that must have been for all of your family to endure. God bless your sister. There is nothing in the world more painful than seeing your child in pain, is there? Beautiful image.
