We got another Groupon deal for mall pictures. It was funny going this time as opposed to when James was 4 months old. I remember how much more difficult it was then - James was fussy, needed to nap, the photo shoot was touchy (but fun) and later he fell asleep in the stroller so we walked around the mall for an hour afterwards. It seems (in my memory, anyway) that James had a hard time falling asleep, and only napped while being held by us for a long time, so we used to love the "bonus naps" that we'd get in the car/stroller and extend them by just walking a lot or driving around aimlessly to pass the time. Now with James being so much older and doing great with predictable naps in his crib, we don't have to do those things anymore. Thank goodness since gas is now almost $5 a gallon.....
Anyway, this time we had a lot of fun and were cracking up trying to keep James from constantly crawling off the curtain. On that particular day he was sticking out his tongue a lot (I think that was the beginning of teething) so the pictures reflect that. He actually loves his cowboy hat and now puts it on all by himself.
It's almost my birthday!
Escape from the photo shoot....
And some outtakes...
More sticking out of the tongue
And a sneer to finish it off. Classic.
