Saturday was a special day it's the day we took baby on her first big outing. We went and got pictures done at JC Pennys. First let me say - I don't know how parents are supposed to pick poses when your child is just so darn cute!
Getting pictures done was one of the most fun things (I personally think) we have done as parents so far. Of course we've only been parents for a month. We put her in a cute Christmas outfit (not so fun seeing as she hates being dressed and undressed) and headed out to the mall. She was asleep when we got there. First we went to Teddy Bear Junction and picked out a terry cloth bunny for her (Teddy Bear Junction is a bit of a tradition of mine and Bill's. Usually we go on Valentines Day). Then we got to Pennys right on time. Baby Cox was cozy cozy and fast asleep. I thought for sure she would wake up and be upset with being moved around and posed so much. But she slept through the photographers flashes and various ways of messing with her. She would stretch and grunt but not wake up. It was very cute.
Then there was the moment baby let out a huge fart when the photographer was moving her. The gal seriously jumped. Not only that but earlier in the day mommy got a fart + lots of baby poop running down baby's leg and onto everything - including mommy. All three of us (me, bill, and my mom) were wondering if we were in for another poop fountain - seeing as baby was positioned on loads of WHITE tulling. Gee I hope they have backup supplies. However we got lucky.
Baby Cox did wake up after mommy trekked to the changing station in the mall (hello JC Penny - where was your changing table? We had to make quite a trek back into the mall just for a stinking diaper change. And then trek back to finish our pictures) and we got some cute shots awake. Even a little smile. She was such a good baby. And those pictures were so cute. Wow was that fun. We'll pick them up on the 20th - just in time for Christmas!
The only other little mishap? Mom and Dad forgot their coupon! Whoops. And got suckered into the portrait club - but hey - free sitting fees.
Pictures coming soon!
