When I first saw Dani Leigh Giannandrea's viral collage of her baby posing atop an array of pizza boxes [1], with each snapshot depicting her son's monthly growth by way of additional pizza slices, I loved it so much I almost considered having another baby just to copy the concept.
I never did have my own pizza baby, so once again, I'm still living vicariously through the photographer mom's clever photo series a year later.
That's right, her little Lorenzo is now 2 years old, and Dani didn't let the milestone go by without a cheesy (literally, and not at all figuratively) photo shoot.
In honor of her son's birthday on Monday (which coincidentally happens to be the day after National Pizza Day), she shared a pic on Instagram of the much larger boy lying clear across two pizza boxes [3] with two full pizza pies. His shirt reads "Protect the Earth: It's the Only One With Pizza," and his body language reads as ready to dig in to some pepperoni and sausage.
Because I'm certain my desire to re-create this hilarious pizza milestone idea will just grow, like Lorenzo, over time, I got Dani to reveal her plans to continue the pizza-loving tradition.
"I also am contemplating going ahead and purchasing a drone for this 18th birthday photo, which I will just have to do outside with a large sheet and 18 pizzas," she joked to POPSUGAR. "I'm going to have to have a real birthday party for him, so I can serve it all."
Will the world get to see a photo of her kid scrunching up on the ground next two three large pizzas next year? And four the year after that?
"It will be cute for a few more years," she said of carrying on the series with her kid, "then really awkward and then hysterical."
