I’ve decided that Bradley is changing too quickly, and I’m losing out on this change. I’ve been far too slack about taking photos of him. So with his permission, I’m starting a weekly series called the Road to 13. There’s about 13 weeks until he turns 13 years old.
I took these yesterday against my favourite wall at our house. Dragged him away from his headphones, YouTube and Whatsapp and told him to just stand there… and this magic happened.
He’s growing up too fast.
My little boy is not so little.

In that closeup photo you can really see the change. He has changed for sure.
Wow. What a brilliant idea! I guess everyone knows how much they change in the first year … but then life happens and you forget how much they still change at certain older stages. I hope I remember to do this in 12 years HAHA. And I must say, having read your blog & seen your photos for so many years now, I can’t believe how grown up he has gotten. Look forward to this series 🙂
Just hope he’ll carry on letting me do this, he moans a lot
Oh Jeanette – all that is boy is gone – a young man has emerged. Beautiful, stunning photos!
Growing up way to fast for me !! Doesn’t seem that long ago I was watching him develop as a baby, a toddler, a child, a ‘tween’ and now, soon, a teenager. Never imagined feeling the emotion as I do, as the changes occurred, being the grandmother. And he’s now taller than me too !!
Oh my goodness. Such a great idea, and I hope he lets you keep on taking photos.
