allies' first photo shoot

Before the Alice was born, I made some alterations to my maternity pictures.  I did this with both our boy name and girl name.  Then I had to wait until the baby arrived to show them off.  Since Baby Coconut turned out to be a girl ... these are the pictures I made for her.
This is one of my favorite sayings ... I actually found it for a boy ... but it, obviously, goes either way.  Too sweet!
When we were in the hospital, we had the baby photographer take some pictures of Allie.  She wasn't like the photographer we had for both Colton and Khloe in Altamonte.  That lady took a zillion pictures of them and gave me all of the pictures on a CD.  This lady that took pictures of Allie works for a company that only allows 8 photographs! So, she took a lot more than eight, but she could only give me what she felt were the best eight pictures ... in both color and black and white.  I had some other ideas that she couldn't provide for me ... so the first set are pictures that I took ... the more professional looking ones in the second set are from the photographer.  Either way, Alice makes a picture look fabulous!
I love the adoring look on her face ... this picture is one of my favorites!
Great picture of the two of them!
Such a Minnesotan picture.
My sweet, sweet Allie-girl ... she is a doll-baby!
Too classic ... a baby freaking out picture.  She was just so mad!
Those ears!  She is so precious. 
my girl
I like how sweet she looks in this picture.  Innocent face ... and she is so innocent.  You can really see how much hair she has on the back of her head in this picture.  
She's so patient and gentle.
I love the sparkles!
Those chubs!!! 
Love the sun-glint off of her sparkles!

Everybody loves a good crying picture!
I love the look on her face here.
Taking a little doze.
tiny feet
This is the blanket that Billy's Aunt Marlene crocheted for Alice.  It's so pretty!
This doesn't happen very often ... so I thought we should capture it!
Littlest Dolly
All done ...
This could be my favorite one!  I know she's crying ... but I just love it for some reason!
Anger ... she was hungry by this time!
Here is thesecond set of pictures that are more professional.  They were taken by the photographer at the hospital.  She did a great job, but I just wish she had been able to give me more than 8 pictures.  (And no matter what package I chose ... even the most expensive $365 package ... only included 8 poses! What!?!)
This is Billy's favorite picture.  She is such a doll!
The blanket she is laying on belonged to Billy when he was a baby.  The crocheted blanket laying on top of Allie was made for her by her Great-Aunt Marlene (Billy's mom's older sister).
This tutu was given to us by one of Billy's assistants at the hospital.  It came on a stuffed flamingo.  So cute! 
I love her chubby little sleeping face!
Perfect baby feet!

Love that face! 

I just love this precious baby girl!  She is so calm, patient, and good-natured.  We are so very blessed!
