One year olds are difficult!

So we took Sully to get his 12 month portraits taken yesterday and we thought, "Let's get some family portraits, too." Bad idea. The whole thing was a debacle, as Sully refused to sit in one spot, didn't want to look at the camera, and kept putting his hand in his mouth. There were only 2 decent shots of him solo, and there was one ok family shot (and it was only ok after the salesgirl cropped it and shifted it to hide my muffin top!). Of course, after we left the portrait studio and took our little stinker to the Olive Garden for dinner, he was happy to say "Cheese" and even smiled for the camera. Here's some funny shots from the restaurant, all of which are better than his portraits. Boo. And the family self-portrait I took is so much better than any of the ones from the photo studio. Figures, huh?

Cute!! I can't wait to see the portraits. I need to take Mia and Henry in but I fear the kind of experience you had. Henry will be great and cute, but Mia will be all over. And her smile for the camera is really cheesy.
Did you get your hair cut?

Ha Ha - I'm wondering the same thing. Did you get your hair cut?
