Photo Session

Since I finished Abigail's dress I took the girls to get Abigail's 9 month pictures taken. I went ahead and got a picture of them together while we were there in matching outfits I made earlier this summer. These are the "non-touchup" versions of the pics that they let you keep on CD:
I didn't order this one but really love her face in this picture:
And because I never posted Abigail's 6 month photos on the blog . . . here they are. My mom made this dress for Abigail:
You can tell from these pics vs the 9th month pics that she has slimmed down in the face now that she is mobile.

I also got the Mommy and Me photos since I did the same thing when Emily was 6 months old. My mom made this gown and robe for me when I got married so I wore it with both Emily and Abigail's 6 month pictures:
We had fun yesterday. The photo place is over 30 minutes away from my house so we were gone most of the day. We had the photo shoot and then while we waited for the pictures to print we ate lunch nearby. Emily and Abigail did well in the restaurant. Then after we picked up the pictures I took Emily to the toy store next door since she had done such a great job helping me that morning. Then we headed home and went to her swimming lesson. She is in the next level now and learned some new things yesterday. She cried a little but not bad. She did all that was asked of her including holding on to a board and kicking her legs and putting her head in and out of the water while she swam!
