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. 

How adorable is this picture?! 

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!! 

2 Month Photoshoot

Our baby girl is getting so big.  She has already doubled her weight and added 5 inches to her long little legs.  Her newborn onsies are making her look like a little sausage.  It's time to move to the 3-6 month section of the closet! 

Taylor is definitely daddy's little girl.  She is a spitting image of Todd!!! We have an old picture of Todd when he was a baby and we put it up to a similar picture of Taylor and I'm telling you, just a spitting image.  I'll scan that in soon and show you the side by side comparison. 

This past month has been pretty fun.  She is so much more vocal and her facial expressions are a crack up.  She has really started to mimic different noises and will just talk and talk.  And we are finally getting some smiles out of her.  Whew! I thought for sure social services was going to be knocking on our door if I posted one more picture of her crying. 

We went in for her two month shoot about two weeks ago. This time the little princess decided it was my turn to get wet.  She was pretty hungry part way through the shoot and we were lucky enough to have time for me to feed her.  Well, soon after, it was all up on my shirt.  But she didn't stop there. We had just gotten her naked for her next shots and as we were cleaning the spit up off of my shoulder she decided to tinkle.  And by tinkle I mean my entire front was soaked.  We actually ended up getting a great shot of me holding her at that moment by accident.  We have an amazing shot of her and Todd but it won't post onto blogger for some reason. I've tried over a dozen times!! I'll keep working on it because it's an adorable daddy/daughter shot! 

So I went home from the shoot pretty wet and Todd had a big smile on his face since he was tinkled on twice at our last shoot!!!
