I've been waiting for the Pear's Christmas sweater to arrive, so Christmas card photos have been put on hold. Time is ticking, so despite a crabby teething little boy, I gathered myself and decided that after a package arrived today that tonight was the night. After nearly two hours, half of a box of Teddy Grahams, a dose of Kiddie Motrin, a shot of Jack (okay, not really), a handful of mumbled profanities and multiple meltdowns, I came away with two pictures that I really liked. Order is in and cards are on their way. I'm spent.
Here are a few of the shots that didn't make the cut. They're funny now. At the time, not so much.
The Worm and the Rear.
Hey, at least he's smiling.
Pear, are you crying because I made you wear a moose sweater?
Don't mind Taylor there, Michael.
Mouthful of Teddy Grahams.
Let me tell you how I feel, Michael.
Classic!!! I almost used this one. One thing to point out - poor Taylor cheesed through the entire two-hour photo shoot. But here, she's hit a wall and is so annoyed at Michael! Is that a Kellie look or what?
A solo picture of tonight's good child. Just kidding! I still remember the Worm's 2-year photo shoot. It was awful and I think the photographer almost wept. I'll give the Pear a break tonight. He's on teeth numbers 19 and 20. Remember back when his first couple teeth were coming in and I'd give the countdown - 3 in, 17 to go, etc. Taylor was a rough teether, too. Let me tell you, WE have earned each and every one of those 40 teeth. I think when they start losing teeth, I'm going to drill holes in them and string them into a necklace. I'll wear it with pride, like war medals.
Speaking of teeth, Taylor had a checkup today. She did great and all is good. A couple of teeth are a little loose, so I might be getting started on the necklace sooner than later.
Have a great night!
Until next time,
Mommy Kel
