Unperfect photos

Getting this tot to hold still for a picture is nearly impossible.  All I wanted was one good picture.  One picture of her smiling and holding still.  One.  Not ten.  Just one shot.  After 20 tries or so I just had to laugh.  My little girl is just so busy...just like her mommy.  She has better things to do on her agenda than sit still and smile at a black piece of plastic that causes her to go temporarily blind. 
After the classic "Ok Anya, sit on the couch and say 'cheese' " failed,
we tried, "jump on the couch like your a monkey". 
Fail. 
"Tickle monster".
Fail. 
"Play with your new dump truck." and "Here's  a chocolate chip for you.  Sit and say please."
Fail and fail.  (At least the "please" looked sorta like a smile.)
In times like this I need to say to myself...Just breath mommy.  Don't stress the process, just enjoy the photos and smile.  They do capture my little girl pretty well! 
P.S.  I love the one of the pillow.

Size of baby: Around 5 inches long, weighs about 5 ounces (size of a turnip)

Maternity Clothes: I need them, but they are all with my sister in KY!  We'll be picking them up in a few weeks when we meet Mary.  The rubber band trick will have to do until then.

Gender: We find out March 27th at our Gender Reveal party!  I'll be shocked either way, but maybe it's a boy???
