Thanks for the poll responses. We had decided to go Saturday (yesterday) with the elf pajamas because Jen wanted to be there for the photos. But yesterday morning the formal clothes arrived in the mail so we had CHOICES.

We dressed them in the formal duds and brought the PJs if we were allowed to make a change (it's Target, it's like a cattle call rush). We were able to change and got the best of both worlds. The elf pics actually came out better (kids were more relaxed, less posed) but we got at least one good combo shot with each outfit and I actually ordered two different sets of photo cards, one elf and one formal. :)

Yay!

Just some shots from the holidays, a little late but still cute:

I luff her!

Okay, maybe I'm a little biased... but I have the most beautiful child in the history of children.

Just so I don't forget. I've been way busy and not posty.

While my mother and SIL were visiting, Punk had that stomach thing and had thrown up, so I was giving her sips of PediaLyte, but she really wanted to drink the whole cup. She was pretty upset that I took the cup away after a few sips and so my mom intervened and said something like, "You have to wait a few minutes, honey. It might hurt your belly." To which my darling genius daughter replied, "Nana, I don't put it in my belly, I put it in my mouth."

About a week ago I was brushing her teeth before bed like usual. When I brush her teeth at nighttime, I sit on the toilet and sit her on my lap facing me - she brushes, and then I brush. She was looking into my eyes and must have caught her reflection in my pupils. She said, "Mama, your eyes have August in them."

She's awesome.

Today we are moms of a nine-month-old.
That's 3/4 of the way through the first year.

HOLY CRAP!
