Alan Lawrence told BuzzFeed News he wants to show that his 18-month-old son Wil can do anything.

Alan Lawrence told BuzzFeed News he began creating the pictures of his 18-month-old son, Wil, last year. Wil is the youngest of his six children, though the family is expecting a baby boy this September.
