Our bright-eyed girl!

Last Saturday, my fabulous cousin Jamie took some great pictures of Eilly for us. It was not an easy task, but the photos turned out so beautiful and fun. Many people have remarked on our kidlet's bright eyes, and Jamie did a great job of capturing them. Here are a few of my favorite faces of Eilly:









We were ultimately trying to get a picture of Eilly in the beautiful Easter dress my mom bought her. Unfortunately, a shot of smiling Eilly sitting perfectly in her fancy dress while squeezing her Easter bunny was not in the cards, but I think I like this one better anyway.



Poor Eilly's mood started going downhill pretty quickly. I dragged her to the Great Cloth Diaper Change that morning to help set the record for the number of cloth diapers changed simultaneously (6,277!), so she was in dire need of a nap. We went to great lengths to try to improve her disposition. Garrett provided the musical entertainment, and we all tried our darnedest to coax out a smile.







When all attempts failed, we contented ourselves with some peaceful pacifier pictures.





Trying to capture just a few more pacifier-free photos, I tried to stealthily snatch the pacifier out while Jamie snapped away. Needless to say, it didn't work. But I love her sad faces too.







Then it was definitely time for a nap. Even though our little photo shoot did not go quite as well as we had planned, I love the range of faces we were able to capture. There are so many little faces she makes, and I don't want to forget a single one. Thanks so much to Jamie and Angie for their quick photo snapping, silly song singing, and all-around amazing baby-cheering-up skills. Love you ladies!
