Teeth and Pictures

So it has been a while since I last posted and there are severl things to catch you up on. My baby boy is no longer toothless! On Wednesday, January 26th (yes I'm one of those moms who is crazy about remembering dates for these things), Mills cut his first tooth. It was his bottom right-center tooth. I could tell that his left-center tooth was not far behind and the following Wednesday, February 2nd, he cut that tooth. Just like Mary Kate, he cute two teeth in a week. He has done very well, for the most part, and has not been nearly as fussy as she was with these teeth. He's so cute when he smiles anyway, but these teeth just add to his cuteness! He just melts my heart when he smiles. We have not gotten any great pictures of these new pearly whites yet, but you can see them a bit in some pictures we had taken on January 29th.

We wanted to capture two sweet moments in time with Mills' 6 month pictures and Mary Kate's 2 year pictures and decided to use (Brandi Hodges) Three E Photography, which is local for my out of town friends. Mills was dressed in a cute Ralph Lauren one-piece outfit he had been given and I decided to dress Mary Kate in a tutu, turtleneck, leggings, and ballet flats (I saw some photos Brandi had taken of some girls wearing tutus that were too cute). The weather was very sunny and clear, but rather chilly. We chose to have the photos taken in the morning because Mary Kate usually does best at this time of day and is not fussy (we were way wrong!!!). Both kids started out great, but ended up fussy and screaming by the end. Brandi managed to get some great pictures of the kids, despite the screaming, and the family shots are hilarious. We will certainly use her again, but hopefully our kids will cooperate better next time. Here are a few of our favorites.
