trying for a smile

I have tried and tried to get Eleanor to smile for me with the camera.  I have to be really, really quick to even capture a semblance of one.  Every time I put the camera up to my eye she stops smiling.  This is a sequence from this afternoon.

She's been holding her hands like this and I think it's super cute.  :)

some of Hutson

These were taken over Thanksgiving at MawMaw and Pops' house.  I bribed him with washing the car if he cooperated.  :)

Decorating the tree in Texas

Texas tree trimmin' sometimes equals a boy in shorts and no shirt because it's so warm outside.

3 months a bit late

I've been swamped this month.  Photographing for the holidays has left this blog neglected, but things are slowing down now a bit.

Eleanor turned 3 months on the 20th.  I took some pictures while we were in Houston for Thanksgiving but just now edited them.  I took her to the doctor last month around the 3 month mark and she weighed 10lbs 6oz.  She's little!  At 3 months, she's doing all the things 3 monthers do.  She's pushing up, sleeping pretty well, smiling at us a lot.  I think she's going to be a tougher audience for the smiles than Hutson was. I can't capture it on the camera very well.  She's also noticeably shyer than Hutson was.  It's so interesting to me how much you can tell about her personality so early.

3 months:

I didn't get a picture with the dress I wore as a baby until yesterday.  She's really starting to fill it out.  

Christmas pjs!
