Pictures

Before Annabelle was born Jason and I used to look at photography websites over and over. We had the ones we wanted to take of our little baby picked out so that when she got here all we had to do was set up the shots and snap. We had even picked out a professional to take her to but considering my Jason is very creative and we have all the stuff we needed we were just going to do them ourselves. Things don't always happen the way that you want them. When she was about a week old I had the normal baby blues, I never cried in front of her, just at Target according to Jason. Three days later I was over them. During that time I felt so guilty about my baby being so far away from her grandparents and other family and also that I did not take the pictures we had picked out of her. Of all the things to get upset over I know, but the hormones are crazy. We really didn't get any good shots of her ourselves, like just posed pictures of her. In reality as we have discussed before Annabelle was not the kind of baby that would cooperate with being posed. She didn't really nap as an infant nor did she like to lay down alone. I am finally coming to terms with the fact that it wasn't really our fault. Things just happen the way that they happen. We are blessed to have the pictures we do have of her. When she was three months we went to Portrait Innovations. We were pleasantly surprised how well they turned out.
Thursday Annabelle will be 6 months old. We are going back to Portrait Innovations and I have no idea what to put on her. I have a couple clothes diapers and a couple diaper covers. They are adorable but I don't know if I want those. We can take pictures like that at home. Her aunts and dad keep her in clothes, she has SOOO many nice outfits to wear. It is going to be soo hard to choose. She just got some more nice dresses last weekend. In all honesty I want pictures of her in all her clothes, but that can't happen. We can get at least two different outfits. I think tomorrow I am going to spend most of the day going through her closet and seeing if we can coordinate our outifts to hers.
Now that she is a little older we are going to do some of our own posed photos. We just have some new ones picked out for older babies. She really enjoys smiling and having her picture taken. She will smile and smile. She is such a happy baby! We are blessed that the biggest issue we have in our lives is what she is going to wear in pictures!
