8 months old

So, they say when you become a mom of more that two kids that you forget to take pictures on time of your children, or doing certain things etc. Well, this mom has already miserably failed if thats the case. I never did those cute naked pics of your newborn baby...and I failed to get 6 month pics of my daughter...but I think maybe I made up for it today when I took these pics of Elsje for her 8 month pics. I've been trying to get them done honestly for a good solid month and a half, but just haven't been feeling up to it. Well, my friend Emily just decided 1 of two things: either she's so tired of hearing about how I need to get these pics done, or she's just more motivated than I am....either way she showed up today and helped me keep Elsje's attention long enough to get 202 pictures...haha. I think even though my little girl was selfish with the smiles, I was able to capture her personality through these photos. I'm not sure I'll ever go back to get professional's done in a studio again....pretty cocky right? well, you be the judge. Enjoy!

The dress that my little one has on in the above and below is a red dress that I wore when I was about 6 months old. Like mother like daughter.
