3 Month Pictures

On June 14, before Grant and I left for Vegas, we went to Portrait Innovations to have his 3 month pictures taken. I was so happy with the pictures. He was in such a good mood and was making the cutest faces. Here are the 7 poses I ordered. Let me know if you want a copy of one...I might have gone a little over the top with my ordering, so we have plenty!:)

We didn't take professional newborn pictures, so I wanted a naked baby picture. It turned out kind of goofy though since he's already so big!

Love this smile!

One of my favorites!

He looks so old in this one!

Love his expression!

I really can't believe I'm actually going to post these pictures. They are ridiculous, but I think it's pretty amazing to see the difference between 12 weeks and 37 weeks!

Guess I should stop complaining about looking fat now when I see what I looked like a few months ago!! ;)
