We had our family pictures done a couple weeks ago, and let's just say that wasn't an easy task. Our kids are usually really happy and Colten listens well when we go out. I thought they'd sit on our laps and smile, and that they'd laugh sitting next to each other while I stood behind the photographer making faces and silly sounds. Not so much. These babies cried and cried. Colten kept escaping in the mall & running to a John Deere tractor. Clara was miserable. She was cutting her first tooth and had a blowout that I was unaware of. It was also a full moon the next day and Colten started throwing up 36 hours later. Enough said. Our kids were "those" kids screaming bloody murder.. and I was that overwhelmed mom with sweaty, stinky pits.
These are the 3 we chose, and for such a terrible night we are happy with how they turned out. Although, we won't be going back to the mall to have them done again anytime soon :)
I could eat her!!!! <3
Clara pulled herself to a stand all on her own on St. Patrick's Day, which is also the day she turned 8 months old! Can't believe she is 2/3 a year old already! She only weighs 16 pounds (after losing a pound from having the stomach bug) & wears mostly 6 month clothes. Itty bitty sweet girl!
We pulled out Colten's walker from the attic & she loves it!
Clara has been scooting and rolling for a quite some time now, but she finally got the real crawl down last week! She has been SO happy since she can move. I have seen such a change in her... I love it.
She loves to self feed & will eat anything if she can feed herself.
First little tooth came through 2 weeks ago! The 2nd is on its way. Clara is loud & fun-loving.. she makes the silliest facial expressions & loves to throw her head back and be up side down.
That's my boy <3
You got some really good ones despite the madness! I swear Clara looks so different every month! Hooray for pulling up to standing! She is going to look even cuter (is that possible?) with two little teeth!!
