Avery's 4 Month Pictures

Our computer is still acting crazy, but we are getting a new one next week, so hopefully I can catch up on blogging for the last 2 months. While I am waiting for the pictures from my camera, I thought I should post Avery's 4 month pictures I had done the end of January since it is almost time to go again. They are some of my favorites yet! It is a good thing, too because the trip to get them done was CRAZY!!!
I usually schedule appointments to do pictures when Darren is home so that he can come with me or I can just go with Avery and leave the kids home. I had an appointment in the morning, but Avery fell asleep and I didn't want to wake her up for pictures and have her be cranky. They had a later appointment, but it was when Darren was at work. I decided to try it because Avery was acting so happy and it worked perfect for her schedule. I figured Logan and Rylee would be Ok since they had a tv where they could watch movies while we did the pictures. They WOULD have been Ok, except our appointment lasted 2 HOURS!!! I admit, I was about 20 minutes late for my appointment since I had to feed Avery, but that is usually not a problem. They told me it would be about a 15 minute wait. It was closer to 30 and then it took FOREVER to get someone to proof the pictures and to help me place the order after the pictures were taken. It is a good thing I liked the pictures or I would have just walked out! I am pretty sure that 2 of the customers who came in after me left before me which was so frustrating! My kids were angels for about an hour and a half and then it was all downhill! Not that I blame them...I was about to meltdown after that long. I was almost done going through them and was waiting for the guy to come over and do my order and Rylee demanded that I hold her and then she BIT me! What the heck??? She has NEVER done anything like that before. I put her in a timeout chair because the guy was finally finished with other customers (who came in AFTER me!!!)and ready to do my order. About 5 minutes later, a lady taps me on the shoulder and tells me that "your little girl is smacking your baby in the face"! Awesome! Rylee woke Avery up by smacking her in the face. She assured me that she was "burping her", but I told her we don't burp in the face!!! Yikes! By then, Avery was screaming, I was about to lose it with Rylee and Logan's movie was over so he was starting to run around. I just told the guy to order whatever was on the screen so I could LEAVE. I didn't end up with exactly what I wanted, but I least I have the digital files. Some day I will miss all of this, right??? Anyway - it was not my favorite trip to the studio, but some of my favorite pictures! For those of you that don't want to look at ALL the pictures, here are a couple collages of my favorites.

These first 2 are my favorites. Isn't Avery so sweet?

I love this cute baby!
She loves to chew her hands!She loves her tongue! I think she looks like a puppy in this one with her tongue out...a cute puppy, of course!

She is a thumb sucker these days just like her brother!

This is the only sad one. You have to have one of those, right?

Avery is such a happy baby!

I love all the different faces she makes!

Blowing spit bubbles!

I love this close up!

I can't believe how quick my baby is growing!
