10 Months, Take 1

This past Sunday, Erin turned 10 months old. 10 months!! So hard to believe. She's doing all kinds of new things...pulling up, taking (cautious) steps while holding on, standing up in her crib, eating real food (even though it has to be soft and in tiny bites), and working on learning new signs.

I was absolutely in love with her sweet Christmas dress that she wore the night before to Adam's company's Christmas party (see Santa pic here), so I thought a Christmas-themed pic for 10 months would be precious. 

Maybe it's because she's 10 months old now, or maybe she just wasn't in the mood, but our first session did not go as well as I hoped.  The light wasn't very good, Erin would hardly look at the camera, and it was hard to get the 10-month sign in there without her grabbing it.

See evidence below...

Note the moving box in the background...oops

Cute, but no sign...moving box still there.

Moved the box... sweet little face but I was hoping to get a smile!

LOVE this little grin!! But the light was still no good...and her feet are blurry

Whatever is happening back there is way more interesting than the camera

Who knew a 5x7 index card would be sooo distracting??

So, the first crop of 10 month pics was a bit of a bust. But, good news...we did another photo session today when the sun finally came out and they turned out great! I'll post them soon...but for now I just wanted to record the first try...and secretly I wanted you to see how incredibly cute our little Peanut is in her Christmas dress. :)
