First Professional Pictures

We thought it'd be fun to dress Abigial all up and take her to get her first professional pictures. What was supposed to be a one hour project, ended up taking 2 1/2 hours. What a day! I was pretty excited to have her all dolled-up in an outfit Grandma Sue made for her, but things didn't start off so great. I hoped she would take a nap in the morning so I could shower and get ready for the day. Of course, what was I thinking!?! Why would she actually be on schedule today of all days? She completely skipped her morning nap, which made it difficult to do anything but listen to her fuss and cry.

By the time Mike got home, I was pretty anxious about the whole thing. What if she cried in all the pictures because she missed her nap? Or what if she was asleep through the whole thing....we wanted her to be awake for some of the pictures. Needless to say, I didn't have to worry about her at all. She put on quite the show! She was awake for the whole photo shoot and actually looked happy. No tears, no fussing...just adorable, sweet little Abigail with bright, wondering eyes. She feel asleep right after the pictures, which was GREAT because we waited an hour for them to actually show us the pictures. It was a long afternoon, but well-worth the wait.

The pictures turned out BEAUTIFULLY; I can't wait to post the link on here when we get them. For now, here is a preview of her cute little outfit, minus the sweater she wore with it. She wasn't as cooperative this evening when I dressed her all up again. Hence the reason she has her pacifier in. She refused to take the picture without it. I think she was thinking, "Mom, are you kidding me? I just got out of this outfit. No more!" I still think she is a doll!
