Eliza's Pictures

In spite of Eliza not being the most coperative, the photographer was able to get some fantastic pictures of her.  These first two that really show off her big blue eyes are my favorite...

 

 

 

The individual shots of both girls turned out great.  Trying to get a picture of the two of them was the biggest challenge of all.  Eliza screaming most of the time combined with the fact that Madeline can't really hold her that well made for quite an ordeal.  After a number of attempts, I was really hoping she was able to get two (literally, just two) pictures of the two of them that were decent.  As it turned out, we ended up with three, and you can really only tell that Eliza was incredibly not happy in one of them...



Our 2 Year Old



The past two years have absolutely flown by!  Here's our tiny little Madeline 2 years ago today...

 

 

Now, we have a surprisingly independent and also somewhat bossy toddler.  However, she is tons of fun, and I'm constantly amazed at how extensive her vocabulary is.  It seems as though she's taken after her daddy as this little girl will talk your ear off (once she gets over her initial few moments of being shy if she doesn't know you).

A few weeks ago, we had professional pictures taken of the girls.  I was a bit concerned that Maddie wouldn't be too cooperative, but she was absolutely great.  The pho0tographer was able to capture a number of classic Madeline expressions...

 

 

 

As it turned out, Little Miss Eliza was the one who did not want to have her picture taken.  However, once I finally got her to sleep, we were able to get several good shots of her.  I'll get those uploaded sometime soon.
