Dottie is now six months old!!!! Ilde came out to Cannons-borough to take Dottie's pictures. I will tell you that getting ready for this is a full production!! We start out planning about a week in advance for their outfits...usually three changes with hair bows to match (thanks to Aunt Kayla). Then I start recruiting people to help with Melonee control! Kayla had plans for this weekend so I asked Renae to come and help. This was also Aunt Renae's birthday weekend. Luckily, Kayla's plans were delayed and Renae also came...so I had two fabulous helpers!!! This really makes the pictures go smoothly.
The morning of the pictures, I got up at 6am to get started. I try to get half way dressed and Ryan gets breakfast going for the girls. Kayla arrived with more dresses for me to try on. For us to get to Cannons-borough on time it takes all hands on deck. We all pitch in and we made it to our destination.
Dottie did not get her nap in before the picture, but she did wonderful! Cannons-borough was a great place to go because we could let Melonee run loose. She chased the geese for a little while and explored every nook and cranny. Ilde took pictures by the creek to start. Of coarse five minutes into our session, someone comes up to Kayla and show her a picture of a copperhead that was down where we were. Needless to say I had to get out of Dodge! We then proceeded to go to the village area. The white chair was gone that we had used to take Melonee's six month pictures. However, we improvised with the swing and used the walls for backgrounds. Getting the girls together seems to be nearly impossible. Ilde seems to be able to get some good shots. Dottie smiled and seemed to enjoy being outside...we put her in the grass and she really enjoyed picking the grass and feeling the different textures. She is sitting up so much better.
By the time the pictures were over, the girls were exhausted!! They both fell asleep on the way home!!
