Another Place We Can Never Go Again...

During Caden's first year of life, we took pictures of him at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and one year.  We decided to do the same thing for Asher (we already have the frame, after all!).  My sweet friend, Courtney, usually takes the boys' pictures, but I didn't want to bother her every three months, so I dragged him down to Kiddie Kandids.  I thought it was going to be an easy shoot - Asher is the sweetest, smiliest, easiest going little guy I have EVER met.  WRONG! Let's just say we can NEVER go there again!  Asher was sleepy, which caused him to be ca-rank-ee (if you're in a really bad mood, cranky has 3 syllables.  Trust me.).  Plus, he spit up 4 times.  Projectile spit up.  4 times.  On his clothes, me, and their blanket.  4 times (did I mention that part?).  I just laughed, because what else are you going to do?  I kept telling the photographer that my sweet Asher is usually the happiest guy on the block and has the greatest smile.  I'm not sure she believed me! I felt so bad that she (who, incidentally, was about 12, had worked their 3 weeks, and our shoot was her first time being alone in the store.  Super.) had spent so much time with us that I had to buy something.  So I searched and found a picture that will do.  It's not his best work - he's not smiling, but he has a pleasant, sweet look.  After all of that, I'll take it!

She also managed to get a cute picture of his little toesies.  I just thought this was darling!

For a comparison, here are both boys' 3 month pictures.  That is Caden on top and Asher on the bottom.  


I forgive you sweet Asher!  Who needs Kiddie Kandids anyway?!?  Everyone who loves you will always remember that at three months old you had a smile to die for.  

Next time, we'll call Courtney instead!
