Photoshoot

Today, you and I went to get some 6 month pictures taken of you. You're more like 6 1/2 months... but Nana and Papa needed an 8 x 10 picture of you to hang next to the pictures of your cousins on their wall. And, how could I pass up getting pictures of you taken? The more the better!

I had to cancel the appointment that I had made yesterday becasue both of us overslept and you were having a hard time going down for your first nap. So I crossed my fingers and we went and sat in the studio hoping that they could take us for a walk-in appointment. You were really good the first few minutes that we were there- you just sat and looked at everything. Then you started to get squirmy-you saw all the other kids playing and wanted to get down and roll around on the floor- but I wasn't about to let you down on that nasty floor.

Right when I thought you had reached your limit of being tired and cranky they said it was our turn. I whispered to you that all we need is ONE good smile for Nana and Papa. The girl taking the pictures asked if you are sitting up yet and I giggled and said, "Well... he knows how to..." I was sure that the second we set you down to try and get a picture you would try to grab your toes, fling yourself backward, or try to roll away. But- of course-you were a perfect little angel. I'm not sure why I doubt you sometimes... you're SUCH a good baby. I sat you on your bottom and you gave the camera some really big smiles! It was hard picking out a good picture, so I ended up picking out two.

Thanks for being such a trooper buds. I know that photo studio's aren't fun places to be with bright lights, strangers, and crying babies... but you did awesome. I'm so proud to be your Mommy.
