7:15am...Ella's awake...so she was up a little earlier then what I wanted. I was hoping for closer to 8. I wanted to make sure she was happy for the photo shoot! So she got up and ate...and I put her back in her crib while I finished getting myself ready and doing some last minute cleaning. I was hoping maybe she would catch a quick nap...no such luck!
I got Ella bathed and dressed just a few minutes before 10...hoping the drool wouldn't soak through her outfit! :) We kept the bib on til the very last minute!
The photographer came - she was very sweet. She set up in Ella's room and we did most of the pictures in there. I have to say...she had Josh and I in more shots than I had thought there would be...I didn't really pay attention to our outfits...I had just focused on Ella...thinking oh we'll just get a couple of family shots...I mean I would have gone and gotten my hair done and a new outfit...annnddd hit the gym a few times! :) I still have 20lbs to get off! So hopefully her editing skills are good! :)
Well Miss Ella realllly wasn't a smiling girl! She wasn't unhappy...she was just very serious. She was puzzled by the camera right up in her face! I think there were a few half smile shots...she did show us a few...and they were looking good on the camera...so hopefully they turn out well! We did the majority inside and a lot of family shots outside...we had a few outfit changes...and we did some with her wearing just a headband (and a diaper of course) but you only saw her upper half. Sooo...the big milestone happened during the photoshoot (however wasn't caught on film). Ella has been on her tummy multiple times...but has never rolled over. We had transformed our table to a platform with a blanket on the top of it (the nice furry ones from Christmas last year!) and Ella was laying on that on her belly and she was propping herself up with her arms and she was looking all around. Then boom - she just rolls over! It was so quick and we didn't expect it...and the part that scared us all was she rolled over and was right on the edge of the table. Josh ran and grabbed her! He moved her closer to the other side and I kneeled down and propped her up to make sure she didn't roll off...and Josh was on the other side...and sure enough...she rolled over again! That's it...photo shoot on the table is done with! :) By this time an hour had passed and Ella was done! She started getting cranky...and I gave her a bottle and she was out!
Later on in the afternoon - I had Ella on the living room floor (a much safer place) - I wanted to capture her rolling over! Of course she did it twice and both times I missed it! The first time I was recording and recording...and she didn't roll over so I turned the camera off...boom she rolls over! The second time - I swear I hit record...but yeah I didn't...missed it again...I tried for a 3rd time...but Ella was done with being on her tummy...she likes her back better. So I'll try again tomorrow for that video!
