Baby Pictures






Recently I had my kids pictures taken. Reese was four months when they were taken, and Connor was four and a half years.  I am a little later with Reese’s pictures than I was with Connor. Poor second child, I was so on the ball with Connor, I made sure I wrote everything down, took pictures, the whole nine yards.  But we got the pictures taken and that’s what matters!
We started taking pictures with Connor first. As usual, he was a shy boy (see first picture) but he started to come around! Especially when we started bribing him with Halloween costumes! Did I mention he LOVES superhero’s? He even got to take pictures in his Spiderman costume, which was a big deal to him!
Reese was her normal happy self, at first! She took pictures in her christening gown which my mother knitted, absolutely beautiful! She also wore an adorable pink tutu made for her by Cody’s mom! I am so lucky to have crafty mothers! By the end of the pictures she was DONE! As you can see in the final picture of her she buried her face in the pillow! It made an adorable picture and is actually one of my favorites!  
Now I am in the process of picking out who gets what pictures, ordering, and buying them.  Throughout this whole process I am thinking I am going to have to do this again in another 3 months when Reese takes her 6-7 month pictures! It is an endless process! But I couldn’t be more pleased with how they turned out!

    I love your blog! I was just going to quick read the top one to comment on it, but I ended up reading them all...oops. Your kids are so adorable and it makes me want to have kids even more! I cannot imagine the hassle of pictures and everything though. One thing I am not looking forward to. One idea I did hear was instead of printing individual pictures for yourself, just make a photo book on like Shutterfly for every year. Then when graduation comes around, you are ready to go :)
