Four Months and a Photoshoot

Last Tuesday our little princess had her four month check up.  She hadn't had a check up since her first month because of insurance issues so we had a ton of questions! Before going into the office I had some of my friends try to guess her weight. My mom was the closest with 20 pounds. Taylor is 18 pounds 12 oz.  The doctor said that is average.........for a 7 month old! :o) Hilarious! She said that there was no need to worry since Todd and I are so tall.  Todd wanted some sort of magic cream for her patchy hair but apparently they don't make anything like that for babies! She'll have to sport that mullet for a while longer. 
The next day I had my first post pregnancy photoshoot.  A photographer from New York contacted me and we set up a shoot in Malibu. I wore two dresses for the first half and then two bikini's for the second half. The bikinis that I chose were adjustable so I was able to make them bigger around these child bearing hips that I haven't quite lost yet. I am very nervous to see how the images came out. I saw a few in the tiny camera screen that I was happy with BUT that was a tiny camera screen! I'll have the disk next Thursday and might post some images. 


While I was at the shoot poor Taylor and Todd were having a rough time.  She has been having some separation problems since I started going back to work and leaving her for any longer then 4 hours. After hour four without me she will just cry and cry. Todd does everything possible to soothe her but nothing was working.  On this day she was really bad and it took me almost two hours to get from Malibu to Studio City.  Candy came over to try to help but Taylor was inconsolable.  It was one of the worst nights for poor Todd.  
So when I received the call on Thursday about working background on a Coors Light commercial I was very hesitant to take it since I would be on set anywhere from 12-16 hours.  The money was too good to pass up though.  I was up and gone by  6:30 am and didn't get home until 10:30 pm.  Auntie Amy baby-sat Taylor from 5pm until I got home and thankfully no one had to experience the hours of hysterical crying.  It looks as though she is over her separation issues. Thank goodness!!

Christmas Video


Here is our little princess and daddy on Christmas.  Note the outfit and the Christmas socks.  She was having a tough tummy day and we had to change her outfit a few times and the only thing that survived were the socks!!
