6 month photo shoot!!!





Wow! Lolli is almost 6 months old! Lauren really wanted to get Lolli's 6 month pictures taken in a baby-sized bath tub, but JC Penney was the only place that offers that. And you have to wait a week or two to get your pictures from there. Lauren is NOT that patient. So she and Zach headed to Hobby Lobby and Michaels in search of inspiration for cute props. While walking around the store, Zach had a brilliant idea. Lollipops!

So the trio headed to the mall where they bought several lollipops from the Sweet Factory. They popped in at the Picture People to see if they had an opening - they did! So Lauren fed Lolli and dressed her in one of Paige's dresses that Kim had given for Lolli to wear this summer. The photo shoot began!

Lolli sat up all by herself in her brightly colored dress!!! She was in no mood to smile, but she did do a very good job of not falling over. Zach stood close by just in case she started to wobble. After she got tired of sitting she got on her tummy for a a couple shots. Then it was outfit change time.

For the next round of photos, Lolli wore just her diaper. She sat in the boppy with 3 boas around her: light pink, regular pink, and hot pink. She kept trying to eat the boas , as is only normal for Lolli! Next Lauren spread several multicolored lollipops are her and gave her one to hold in her hand. Into her mouth it went... oops, Lolli was eating a lolli pop!

There was definitely no getting Lolli to smile now - she was too busy licking and sucking and slobbering on that lollipop! Eventually Lauren decided enough was enough and took away Lolli's sucker (what a mean mom). Then Lolli laid on her back with lollipops spread around her head. Lauren gave her a big pink Lolipop to munch on. Of course Lolli tried to stick the whole thing in her mouth (it didn't fit). Finally Lauren took the lollipop away and Zach waved a blanket over Lolli's face to get her to grin. Finally - a smile!

The pictures turned out very cute!!! A great capture of the 6-month old Lolli!
