A Photo Milestone
After a big nap yesterday afternoon, the Armijo Juniors went to JC Penny’s for first photos of the Armijo Juniors’ Junior. It was a riot.
Baby Ry started out in the white Gap outfit Auntie Cyndi (Castro) gave him (of the oooohhh and ahhh box at the shower) and did ok. The funniest was trying to make sure he didn’t fall off the assorted prop pillows and stands and whatnot. After a couple of poses, we switched it up to the Santa fit. Though he wasn’t too pleased at this point, Ryan was tickled and cajoled into at least looking at the camera. We’ll work on smiling next time!
But the best was at the very end where both Bob and I are leaning next to him to help hold him up for the pics and take a whiff. He had dropped a big bomb. Maybe that’s why it was all grimaces and snarly faces during the photos. So to be further initiated into the rites of mommyhood, I changed my baby propped up on one of those changing tables in the restroom. Had to strip him down to nothing since he had shot thru his onesie and jumper, luckily missing the Santa Suit. There was more poop everywhere than in his diaper. Ah well, everyday something new….. But you do feel a sense of accomplishment that you didn’t drop the kid, had all the supplies you needed, managed to wipe everything up and get him back into presentable mode. Yay. Yay for cleaning up poop. Oh boy this is the life!!
