Picture Perfect, Temper Tantrums

So the other day my mom and I took Landon & my nephew, Nick, to get professional pictures done at JC Penny Portraits. It was an interesting experience, to say the least.
So figures, my son giggles and smiles all the time, he never stops. But when it came to his picture being taken the other day, he just didn't want to put on his happy face. I think it had something to do with a strange lady making noises in his face with bright lights and a strange camera. Both Nick & Landon kind of looked at the photographer like a deer caught in headlights. It was pretty funny actually. And after about 15 minutes of picture taking, they were completley over it. I dont blame them!! Nick began to arch his back and throw a fit, and Landon decided to throw up all over his new outfit (notice the spit up in some of the pictures!).
But then it got more interesting. After the picture taking we had to decide on WHAT pictures we wanted and WHAT package we wanted. That took forever and a day to decide; seeing that we got a "new girl" employee who didn't know what the heck she was doing. The babies didn't like that too much either, they don't have the longest attention spans ya know? So my mom held Nick while trying to figure out what pictures we want, and he fell asleep in 5 minutes or so. So Nick wasn't too bad. BUT LANDON, man oh man. He was not happy, he wanted to leave right away. I tried holding him and giving him his pacifier, but he just took the pacifier and threw it across the room. It bounced off the trash can, and went clear across the room on the ground. The ladies were laughing, it was a little embarassing, but that's my son for ya. So after spending an hour figuring out what pictures we what and what package we were getting... we left. And Nick & Landon were pretty happy about that.
I think we won't be getting their pictures done for awhile, at least until they're 1 yrs. old.
You would of never of guessed that we had such a crazy day, by the way the pictures turned out. They're amazing... thanks mom!!!
