4 month Pictures

I have been wanting to get his 3 month pic's taken for awhile now. I finally got it scheduled and did it this last thursday but he will be 4 months next week so we are now calling them his "4 month pics". My sister's friend from college is just starting out in the photography world so I asked her to take his pics while we were up in logan for her baby shower. We went to the park around the corner from her sisters house before the shower started and she shot a few for me. Remember how good Beckem was for his 2 week old pictures and how well he cooperated?? Well that wasn't the case this time! He was so wiggly and wouldn't sit down. He arched his back everytime we tried to get him to sit down up against something. He cried and wanted to be fed although he'd just finished eating. And to top it off, he didn't smile once! I was so stressed with him! Tina is amazing because I walked away thinking we didn't get one good shot but she managed to get all these. This was only her 2nd time shooting a baby this age! What a talented photographer huh! She just posted a few tonight on her blog so I thought i'd share them with you all :o)
So Tyler and I got in an argument about if baby boys were allowed to wear leggins. You know, the kind you always see photographers take of babies around this age! (Looks like the kind dancers wear) Tyler said they were only for girls and said he'd be mad if I put his boy in girly leggins so I promised him I wouldn't. I beat around the bush by buying "Knee high" striped socks from Gap instead with this cute newsies hat! I loved it!
Beckem loves to wear his flip flops in the summer!
This shot is classic. That was after a tantrum so I hurried to give him a few sips of his bottle before I ripped it out to get a picture. I'm glad she actually kept this one with the bottle because it is so funny. I love his facial expression. It just makes me laugh! I'm such a mean mom!

Tina put together this cute 8x10 collage for me. I absolutely love it! She did a cool vintage look and I can't wait to frame it in my room!



Thanks Tina for taking these awesome pics! You really did such a great job! Check her out at TinaBeanPhotography.blogspot.com
