3 Weeks Old

As you can probably imagine, taking pictures each Sunday to document Sydney's 'week' birthdays is, in theory, a great idea, but one that proves to take a bit of time each week... The photo shoot must be timed to insure that our little sleepyhead is actually awake and not screaming for food.

I am also learning that her little personality is starting to show through, and this must be taken into account when planning our weekly photo shoots. For example, this past week, I learned that despite my desire to have a 'pacifier-free' 3 week photo, our sweet Sydney is somewhat stubborn :)

Beginning of the photo shoot....

The paci is in, and Sydney is happy.

Then Mom had to decide that a 'paci-free' photo would be better...

"You want to do WHAT with my paci?!"

Please note Sydney's hand gestures... for a little lady who can't talk yet, she sure made her thoughts about taking the pacifier out very clear.

So, of course, we took the pacifier out...

... and we got this reaction.

This was followed by a break in the photo shoot to calm Sydney down :)

And we finally got this:
