I Freely Admit I'm a Dork

I wasn't going to tell anyone what I succumbed Sam to yesterday... but then the darn pictures turned out so cute that my pride for my children won out over my personal pride and so now I'm freely sharing. I'm only a little embarrassed to admit that I turned Sam into a model yesterday, and -who knew?- he liked it.

His 0-3 month clothing is now too small to wear comfortably and there were a lot of cute pieces I was sad to pack away. When I realized that many of them were never worn in a picture so I wouldn't have any permanent evidence of their cuteness (since there will be no babies in the future to wear them around here), I felt the need to remedy that.

Sam was a champ and patiently allowed me to put outfit after outfit over his big melon. He happily posed and smiled for the camera for every outfit- I was shocked that he never got fussy until it was time for another nap and even more shocked that my usual you-need-to-work-for-my-smile guy was turning on the charm so freely.

And now onto some of the pictures:



(I swear- all of these were taken in an hour. And I will now apologize for making you look at picture after picture of my son smiling. What can I say? I love that smile and I already told you that I'm a dork.)

This is hilarious but such a good idea! I hate when they outgrow clothes so quickly that you feel like so many outfits were wasted. And what an adorable little model. I can't believe how patient he was Maybe he has a future career in modeling? :)

I would have done the exact same thing. So if you're a dork, I'm a dork. Sam is so cute!

Totally cute. When will you post all of Anna's pics?

Haha... I was wondering if anyone would call me on the lack of equity. I only had time for Sam's and since he's really too long for all of it (you can't tell but the onesies can't snap and the pants only look okay because his legs are not stretched out) I figured I needed to take them asap. Anna is able to wear the 0-3 mos stuff a little better than Sam, so I've got a few days before subjecting her to the same stuff. But since you asked, I'll subject YOU to her fashion show, too. :) I did try to squeeze her into my favorite newborn outfits, but that just didn't work. Her head is 75%ile even though her weight is 10%ile, so most of it just wouldn't fit over her melon!
