Emily is Five Months Old!

Wow. I can't believe Emily is already five months old. She amazes us every day with every new thing that she does. She is recognizing her name, eating more solids every day, growing like a weed and getting her second tooth (yes, I realize this is a young age for getting teeth, but I can't push them back in).

Ever since my friend Shannon introduced me to the wonderful Craigslist, I have been on it every day looking for great bargains. One bargain I recently found was for Flash Photography that just happens to be at Coral Ridge Mall. The bargain was that you bring your child or children, dogs, family, etc. in for a new photographer to practice on. For all of your "troubles" you get a free 8 x 10 picture. I signed us up right away.

The photo session was a lot of fun, until Emily rolled off the platform and hit her head on the floor. After that the photo session was done. Then we had to busy ourselves for about 30 minutes while they got our pictures ready for us to view. I thought "oh-oh, they are going to try to sell us a huge package". I knew that I would love all of the pictures and would probably be suckered into buying all of the poses, but I was going to be strong.


This was the picture we picked. We didn't pose her or anything. I call it her senior picture pose. We'll have to remember this in about 18 years!

I was very proud of myself. I didn't get suckered in to buying any more pictures. However, Kevin did get suckered in and next week we're going to pick up two more pictures...
