She went Angelina on me

Bless her. A week or so ago I was getting out of the shower and curious baby that she is, she tried to crawl in and see me. Her hands slipped on the wet shower floor and busted her sweet precious lip. :( (Get it now - doesn't she resemble Angelina?) Oh, and did I mention that her 9 month pictures were scheduled for an hour and a half later? Ummm . . . I rescheduled those within ten minutes of the fall.
Here's another VERY unflattering view of my sweet baby. Don't hold it against her.
But never fear - we went last week and had her pictures made - without a busted lip!

Playing with those toesies!
The girl wouldn't smile (open mouthed, laughing, showing her sweet gums with the lone tooth) like I wished and knew she could. Instead, she had this "Froggy smile" as I call it for almost the entire time. Our photographer was doing everything but standing on her head to make her laugh - but she just did the "Froggy smile". That's okay, though. It's her. After all, her smile already has a name she does it so much.
I wore this dress in my one year old pictures. I didn't want her to wear it in her 12 month pictures, though, because for her panel picture she will be standing up. I think it will be a bit short! She is also wearing my gold bracelet, my gold ring, and my mother-in-law's gold heart necklace. Wouldn't it be special if her daughter could have her picture made in these things one day? :) sniff.

Still "Froggy".
The girl needs her lovey. Bad.
So sweet and half asleep. :)
Obviously, I know I am in jeans. However, when I get this printed, it will be a tight crop. (I'm not fancy enough to know how to crop in on my computer). I had a picture with Lawton when he was nine months in this same sweater and he was wearing a cream sweater one-piece outfit. I'm trying to be very fair. . .
And this picture just makes me laugh. Our photographer, Wendy, told me to look somber because Carolina was being so solemn. The only problem? I can't look somber - I'm about to bust out laughing! And my baby fuzz hair that is coming in . . . ugh. I will say that I think this is the first picture where I can say she looks like me. Maybe? What do you think?

precious pictures! i love that she's wearing your dress and all the sentimental stuff. so sweet! i think she looks so much like you in that last picture. i always have bad luck with pictures--my girls are never ever happy on picture days and will rarely smile. it is so frustrating.

You got some really sweet pictures. That's neat that she could wear your dress alongwith some of your jewelry. I know what you mean about being frustrated with how they smile in pictures. I've had that problem with Abbie-so serious for pictures.

Of course she busts her lip right before pictures! Isn't that just how it goes? The pictures turned out adorable, though. I love the ones of you guys together. Glad getting tubes went well.
