My first photo shoot @ 3 months

Aspen had some three month pictures taken on March 31st.  I originally messed up the day, thinking I was scheduling on a Saturday when it was in fact on the following Monday.  Ooops!  I ended up changing the time to 4 in the afternoon so Ted would be home in time, hoping we could get in on a few of the pics.  Not really certain how Aspen would do since he rarely naps during the day, I figured I would take a chance.  As 4:00 drawer nearer, and the amount of time Aspen napped could be counted between my fingers and my toes, I knew we would possibly be in trouble.  And, it would equate into being one of "those" parents. Being extremely laid back, and having a care-free attitude (heck, I didn't even pick out which clothes I wanted him to wear until the day of), I told myself, don't ever give Ashley (the photographer) an excuse of "I'm soooo sorry, this isn't normal, he usually doesn't do this....".  I figured she probably hears it plenty, and I didn't want to be another annoyance.  Well, how soon one forgets once 10 minutes in and he is already fussing.  At any rate, below are a few of the shots she took. Some good, some funny, and some just down right hilarious.  Sorry Aspen, Da and Ma just laughed when you were beyond tired and crying in your pics.  Some day you will laugh too:-)



Da's favorite photo

We used this outfit in your baby pic.  You've outgrown it a bit now!


Ma's favorite

Chub-chub

"Knucks".  Ma and Da would always give "knucks" to the nieces and nephews.  Ma always wanted to get a pic of you and Da doin this, but Ma and Da failed on the 20 attempts they tried taking the pic on their own.  Finally, we got one to turn out!


Someone was "beyond tired" ;-)
