Isha's First Professional Pictures

Poor Isha. She was mad at me for pulling her fist out of her mouth. Here is a sweet one. It was so hard to pick. We had 75 different poses to choose from and three different outfits. We narrowed it down to 6 poses and we now have more pictures than I know what to do with. But we had a great time. It was nice to have my grandma there because she gave her input and also held Isha while I worked with the photographer to pick the poses. By time we got to this outfit Isha had had just about enough. We only got a few shots of this one before we quit. It was so hard to decide on which picture to order, but the good thing is that we ordered enough to get all 75 poses on a DVD!!! So I have lots of cute picture that we can email y'all. (Had to throw the y'all in there. I am coming up on 4 years of living in Virginia and I guess it has rubbed off on me!)

Isha's First Professional Pictures

I kept the bib on Isha until the very last moment because I didn't want any messes and the second I took the bib off for the picture she spit up. Little stinker. Oh well the picture still turned out great. It was hard to get her to smile because she was overwhelmed by all the lights and noise. The tummy pictures didn't turn out as good. Isha hasn't spent much time on her tummy, so she wasn't quite sure what was going on. If I could read her mind she would be saying, "What the heck are you doing to me?" Jai loves this one. Check out her right hand. Oops, didn't notice that until we got home. I thought I taught her better than that. Actually her dad probably taught her that. I love this picture. Her grandma Carol bought her this dress just for picture day. We got a 10 x 13 in this pose that is a black and white. It is so adorable.

Here is Isha again in her dress sitting on the blanket that I crocheted for her. We even managed to keep the bow in her hair. And here is a helpful hint to anyone whose baby is blessed with as much hair as Isha: baby wipes are great at getting all that hair under control. I actually brought gel and mousse to the studio and I was afraid the girl would think I was nuts. She was the one who suggested the baby wipe and it was perfect!

A Visit From Great Grandma

Isha's great grandma Carol Ross came all the way from Washington state to see her new little great granddaughter. We have had a great time. Isha is getting lots of extra loves and Stitch is also getting more attention having grandma here. Isha loves having her grandma hold her and she has been giving her lots of laughs and giggles. Grandma Carol helped us yesterday when Isha went and had her pictures taken. Isha was a good girl. She put up with all the noise and wardrobe changes. The only hard part was that Isha kept putting her fists in her mouth making it hard to see her smile. She was frustrated with me because every time she got her hand up to her mouth I kept pulling it out. I'm sure she was thinking, what's wrong with you mom, I went to a lot of work to get that hand up there. We only had a couple of little crying spells, which was good. The photographer said that some babies cry the whole time and some sleep through the whole thing. So all in all it went well.
