We finally found time to take Noah to the mall to get his one year old portrait yesterday. We thought there shouldn't be crowded because it was Thursday but we were wrong!!! There were so many people! We didn't make appointment because Noah needs less and less sleep and his nap time changes every day. So we just walk-in and waited for a while. The photographer said that usually there were more people in the weekend than week days during the summer because people coming to take pictures before they go to the Sesame Place. But the last week before school starts, more people come during the week day. We would never think about this if she didn't tell us! Hope I will remember this next year so we won't wait so long.
Noah wasn't in the "smile mood" when we got there. The photography tried to make he smile but he just was very serious and curious about the surrounding and other kids in the waiting room. We brought his favorite toy the elephant car and the Mickey Mouse birthday hat (from Auntie Joanne), he started playing with them but no smiling. We tried several shots then changed his clothes. Noah didn't like to sit at one spot and he crawled everywhere, exploring and touching the props in the room. I have to grab him back and make him stand or sit in front of the backdrop many times. The photographer put a pooh bear on top of her head and pretended sneezing. When the bear drop from her head, Noah finally smiled and laughed. It took us almost half hour to take that few cute pictures. By the end the photographer and I were sweating like dogs!
Anyway, the photographer did a good job and we love these pictures! Noah looks just like Phillip. I am so proud that he is such a big boy now!
