Photo Shoot!

Siena and I were lucky enough to have Matt home all day yesterday due to yet another snow day! Kansas City hasn't seen a winter like this in a really long time...lots of snow and lots of bitter temperatures. I guess I can't say I'm complaining...for now. Come the end of May, I may wish they weren't still in school making up all the days they had off in the winter. Oh well...
We certainly used our time off together wisely - we created an in-home 6 month photo shoot! Matt takes some really great photos and has a really great eye for it. So, instead of paying a lot of money for professional baby photos, we had a really great time creating our own. Siena was a trooper too. She played along with all my "outfit changes" very well and even gave us some great smiles. Granted, I was jumping around behind Matt like a maniac trying to get some big smiles out of my child, but I have learned that babies make adults do ridiculous things...why should it be any different for a photo?! :)
Speaking of ridiculous, I have to admit, Siena definitely got the last laugh. In the photos with the white bloomers and white bow, I decided not to put a diaper on Siena. I didn't want those ugly things to ruin a cute picture. Everything was going so great, and my favorite pictures ended up being of her in that outfit. She was smiling and having a good ol' time...I found out quickly just how much fun she was having. She peed all over the black sheet she was laying on...and her white bloomers were soaked! No wonder we got such good smiles from her! I had to laugh - that's what I get for wanting the "cute, no diaper" look. :) Oh well, makes for a good story, right?
So, without further ado, I present to you...Siena Grace, 6 months old. Photos taken by Matt Marble Photography. (I got a really good deal on the photo package from the photographer...) :)
