Sierra's One Year Pictures...Two Months Late

I feel so bad for Sierra, she has the typical last child problems - hand-me-downs, oh it's clean enough, pictures what pictures?, and she's my last one she can't grow up!!!! I really meant to go and get her pictures take two months ago, but with my back and leg hurting so bad, then Sierra was teething, then my surgery and bed rest, it just never happened. So yesterday I decided to just do it, I called and got a same day appointment for 7pm (which is normally a great time for Sierra). But once again she is teething (four teeth at once), she has hay fever (very runny nose, itchy eyes and she keeps rubbing her ears) and when we went into the studio with all the lights and cameras she freaked out!!! Lucky for us Heather the photographer was wonderful and calm and patient! We had two outfits for Sierra to wear, and we brought the chair and ottoman (that Grandma and Poppi bought her for her birthday) and her my 1st teddy bear (that Grandma got her) for the pictures. Wow ~ were we optimistic!!!

We took a lot of pictures in the chair and this one was my absolute favorite, she sits in her chair like this all the time!

When we took the chair away to get a picture with the #1, Sierra got really upset again, so the boys came in to show her it was okay. And this picture turned out pretty good.

Once we took the bear out Sierra calmed down again and the boys went back out the waiting area and played with the iPod. And we got this cute picture with the #1 and the bear.
And this one too.
She wasn't happy when we took the bear, but Heather used it to get her to smile. And we got this great picture!

We decide to try and change her outfit and see how things went. She was great about changing her outfit, she loved her new dress and white sandals! She didn't love sitting on the floor, so we brought the chair back in and she LOVED it. So we got some really good pictures.

She started to try and get up again so we added the ottoman and teddy bear and she settled down long enough to get this cute picture. She was then TOTALLY done and we were 40 minutes into our appointment. So we called it a GREAT session, picked our favorites, got the CD and went home!
