when we found out that libbi would have a sister, i immediately began dreaming of coordinating outfits and matching sister ensembles (as i'm sure jeffrey did, too....only it might have been more of a nightmare for him - ha!) ;-)
the only thing i didn't plan on was how incredibly difficult it would be to get a picture of my girls in said outfits. someone please tell me the secret to getting a picture of two girls together. seriously. i think i try at least 5000 times a day (maybe more when they're wearing coordinating outfits) and i have yet to get a halfway decent picture.
i know i'm not the best photographer, but i'm starting to think it's not just me.....i really think they may be ganging up on me already. it has to be some sort of conspiracy theory, because it just can't be humanly possible to get this many bad shots of two really cute girls! to prove my point, here are some of our (sadly) better attempts at a sister picture:
 |
| Libbi is too concerned with Laney's toes to look at the camera |
 |
| so she decides to pretend to paint her toenails |
 |
| they look like they're both in trouble (or mad at me) - ha! |
 |
| I have no idea why, but every time we try to take a picture, Libbi wants to hold Laney's hand. It's sweet, but the only time she wants to do this is when they're having their picture made.... |
 |
| again with the hand holding.... |
 |
| I'm just happy she's learned to support her own weight when she stands over Laney like this. She thinks she needs to be right in her face whenever she talks to her. |
 |
| She decided laney was hot, so she went to get her minnie mouse fan to cool her off.... |
 |
| I don't think Laney was hot. |
 |
| don't ask.... |
 |
| Libbi kept wanting to show me the stamp on her hand that she got from the library (even though I was standing right next to her when she got it). |
 |
| "Lay-Lay...you sit here." :) |
 |
| All I wanted was a picture of them side by side, but Libbi wanted to sit like Laney. |
 |
| "SHHHHHH!" |
 |
| trying to hold her hand - ha! |
 |
| things just went downhill fast. laney is throwing up gang signs and libbi is convulsing.... |
 |
| all i can do is laugh at this picture. :) |
 |
| and we're done. |
 |
| again with the hand holding....at least laney is starting to be a little more cooperative. :) |
 |
| close your mouths girls :) |
 |
| it looks like she's giving laney a kiss, but really she is in the process of licking her forehead. |
 |
| at least laney cooperates....for now :) |
 |
somehow she got the idea that laney needed slippers....
|
ATTEMPT #10:
 |
| looks like laney has figured out that her hand will be requested at any moment.... |
 |
| Libbi constantly wants to "pose" just like Laney... |
I've yet to get a decent picture, but it's not for lack of trying. Oh well, you know what they say, "If at first you don't succeed; try, try again...."
