Photo Shoot #2

Addley is 1 month old now (I can hardly believe it and am not really sure how it just slipped on by) so I decided to attempt another photo shoot with her. This time both Dayton & Saige were in attendance and decided they wanted to be part of it too. I thought it might be kind of nice to get some pictures of the 3 of them. Let me tell you...photographers that specialize in shooting children have a hard job! I mean, how hard can it be to point and shoot right? Well, try pointing and shooting at subjects that a) don't listen and b) don't sit still! Surprisingly, Saige was the most cooperative. Dayton just wanted to be silly and strike ridiculous poses with his tongue hanging out (typical boy) and Addley was busy pooping, peeing and spitting up. Dayton was fussing b/c Addley spit up near him and at one point I was wiping poop off of Saige's feet. Ugh. No wonder photographers often have assistants! Remind me to get one. All in all, I was happy with a few of the shots and despite all the laundry it created, I'm happy that I took the time to do it. Addley has already grown out of her newborn clothes and I'm finding the 0-3 month size is tight length wise. How heartbreaking and sad it is to see them grow up so fast. She is awake a lot more (unfortunately) and is holding her head up really well. She sleeps one 4hr stretch and then a 3hr stretch following that one at night...so not too bad. But bad if you look at the overall picture of 3 kids not sleeping through the night! But hey, it is all worth the joy they bring into our lives. At least that is what I tell myself as I stumble out of bed in the morning in search of a strong cup of coffee.
