Ella Photoshoot

So, when Madeline was a baby, I took tons of pictures of her every single day. I even spent multiple days dressing my poor baby up in different outfits and doing mini photoshoots at home. This made me happy as I got tons of pictures to play with, it made Matt happy since he hasn't had to pay for commercial photos (yet), it made Renee happy since she wasn't dragged into taking pictures of Madi every month and it made Madeline upset because she hated dealing with outfit changes and the camera.
Eleanor has been very lucky to only be subjected to this terror show one time. I took a ton of pictures of her in August just before we began packing the house. These pictures are carefully staged to look similar to some that I took of Madeline around 9 months. I am hoping to get organized enough (eventually) to put together some cute prints of the girls around the house. At 7 months, Ella was crawling (and looking a little bit scary when she did so), babbling (mostly dadadadadadada) and generally beginning to play with toys. She also was happily eating solids from spoon, working on her pincer grasp for cheerios, etc and enjoying nursing more than bottles. I loved the Eleanor-Mommy days we got on Fridays in August and we spent most of our alone days together cuddling and playing with blocks.









Seriously Eleanor is so darn cute. She is generally very happy, but napping has been a struggle. I love that you can see her bottom teeth in these pictures! She has a total of 6 already! Love this kid!!!
