Photo Shoot

Mom had planned on getting my baby pictures taken earlier than 2 months old, but that just didn't pan out. So, out we went for a photo shoot to capture my baby looks. It was suppose to be a day just for me, but my sister insisted that she get in on the action. This may be a preview of what is in store for me with her as I get older. So, mom succumbed and said she could get her picture taken with me. So as I was learning a lesson in sharing the flash and mom's attention, mom learned the following lesson: God's grace is sufficient and his plans are always better. After what should of been a morning when Ainsley told me "Mom, you need to have a happy heart." We got the following picture.

Of course, mom likes this picture more than any of the pictures with just me. So, lesson number one "Often what happens without a plan actually turns out better." Lesson two came just after naptime...Ainsley looked at the picture and said, "Mom, this picture reminds me of just how much I love my brother." Mom smiled at that and thought, "God, thank you for showing me your way this morning and not letting us miss out on this." Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." We pray every night that their love for God and each other would grow every day. At this rate, Ainsley can be in a picture with Andrew every day!

Here's the picture we got of just me. It's definitely me, mohawk hair and all. (I'm not sitting up on my own here, but I sure am strong. Now a days, I'm standing with help. Mom needs to give me some extra tummy time to get that upper body strength to increase.) Mom's excited for the end of April to come, we'll start my special professional photo package then to catch all of the milestones.
