photo dilemma

After begging and pleading, I had finally talked Brad into the "need" of having Lillie professionally photographed as a child.  I already regret not having professional photographs taken of her when she was an infant.  Isn't that sad.  I actually feel kind of sick to my stomach over it.

Anyway, I had planned for my favorite photographer- Martha Manning to take one-year-old photographs a few weeks ago.   We had even picked out a few special outfits to wear!

Needless to say I was oh so disappointed to wake up the morning before the photographs with a sick baby.  And of all things, Lillie had "hand, mouth & foot."  Not an hour after waking up, Lillie fell hard, really hard.  She hit her head on the corner of a door frame- and then a golf ball sized knot appeared within seconds.  It was a crazy unnatural.

That sealed the deal.  If the photographs weren't off because of "hand, mouth & foot," they were definitely off due to the growing unicorn horn on Lillie's forehead.

Thankfully that morning has come and gone.  But, so did our date with the photographer.  So, I'm back to feeling sick to my stomach about not having any good photographs AND I had a cute outfit for Lillie and no where to wear it.  What is a girl to do?

Mimi graciously offered to help me conduct a DIY photo shoot with Lillie.  Needless to say, no professional quality photos, but we got a couple of cute ones and had fun at the Rose Garden!

Lillie with her Mimi.  My heart melts.
