5 Golden Months

Presley Ann is 5 months old! and she is doing it in true Crocker-Bennett fashion.  She started off with a small cold that took an emotional toll on me.  I hated her not being herself and feeling bad, it wasn't that bad it was just a runny nose with no fever, but she was waking up three times a night and that is so unlike her.  I melted in tears for about a week straight at work---needless to say it was a devastating.  But there was a catalyst for the runny nose and cranky behavior----TEETH and two of them at that!  She started to cut one and about five days later we noticed there was another right there beside it on the bottom.  Therefore, she has been chewing and chewing and slobbering and slobbering on everything.  It's pretty cute in my opinion.

She has also discovered her voice---lots of yelping with bubbles and sputtering that follows.  She really is quite the charming lil' girl.

We also had a little falling out with our photographer this month.  I signed up for a photo package from Lamb portrait before Presley was even born.  The deal was to get her photos taken at birth and every three months there after that.  I told that we would take the pictures, view them within a week or so, order, and receive the photos about 3-4 weeks after the session.  WELL...each session we did not receive the pictures until she was almost the next trimester old.  Needless to say Presley will not being fulfilling her contractual agreement because I am just sick that it takes so long to get her pictures and that I can't share them with our family and friends in a timely fashion.  Lamb portrait takes great photos, but what is the point when I am looking at a picture of my baby at 3 months old when she is nearly 6 months now?

The search begins for a new photographer to photograph our family for a Christmas card---yes we will be that family that sends a card with us happily strolling through the leaves.  We've earned it and I want nothing more than to share my lovely family with our friends and family.

Keep posted and be looking for your Christmas card in the mail!
