Family Portrait

Well, I have learned an important lesson: Don't be such a slacker that since it has been 2 years since your last family portrait you are so desperate to get one that you're willing to do it when you're 8 months pregnant. Ugh. We went to get one this morning and not only was Davey difficult, but my face is so chubby. Yuck. So don't expect to be seeing one of them. They will be kept very close only for our remembrance purposes. We'll surely be getting another, hopefully better, one after the baby comes.

We tried to bribe Davey with the promise of an ice cream cone afterward if he cooperated. He didn't really cooperate, but we felt like we had to give him the treat anyway. Dave couldn't help getting out the camera...

Quite content.

Can I have another wipe?

(He really likes to be clean.)

Is there any more ice cream in here?

When Dave turned the camera to show me how cute he thought the pictures were, Davey added, "Mommy, say "awww."" 

Along the same lines, after Davey's last bath, he spotted the red clown nose Dave wore a few years ago while pulling the Clowny float in Detroit's Thanksgiving Parade. He asked to wear it and then demanded:

"Take a picture of it."

The next day while Davey was on "the pot," Dave stuck the nose back on him again. Davey made the same appeal. We had to laugh but didn't indulge that time.
