Miranda's 1 Year Photoshoot

Here was my first attempt at Miranda's 1 year photoshoot! I was planning on doing more photos another day with cake and balloons, but she has since fallen and has some pretty big battle wounds on her forhead! So, until she heals, this is what you get!
I still like the photos, but I don't love the gray background for this particular shoot!
I told Bri to give me some "sass" and this is what I got! Apparently she knows that word!The best photo of the 2 girls....I need to try and redo at least this part! For journaling purposes I'm adding all the things Miranda is doing at 1, so feel free to skip it!

Miranda still just has 2 bottom teeth, but I have noticed her two upper fangs are working their way down! Really? Before the top 2? She must be going for the vampire look! She loves to "feed" her babies with bottles, pretend to talk on the phone and combs her hair. Miranda loves to stomp her feet while sitting when hearing "If You're Happy and You Know it!" She is also beginning to stomp her feet to music while standing.

She is doing some sign language, but isn't quite as proficient at it as Brianna was. She signs hat, eat, ball, all done, more and sometimes book. She will point to food and move her mouth like a fish if she's hungry and you haven't gotten her some food. She says: "bye-bye" while waving, mama, dada, baby, eat, book, and waves night night. She occasionally makes the sounds for an elephant, a duck and a bee.

She still growls all the time. Especially when she's really excited or happy. You know she likes you if she growls at you! She still isn't napping or sleeping all that great. (She did however sleep through the night the last two nights!) She's beginning to transition to just one nap, but it ends up being early in the morning, so we have a really really long day til bedtime. She often won't go back to sleep after 11 or 12 in the afternoon before bedtime.

Miranda loves her big sister and they tackle and hug each other all of the time. (That is when they aren't fighting over the same toy, or she isn't screaming to get Brianna's food or drink!) She has quite the scream and is very vocal about not wanting to be in the cart at the store!!!

Mostly she's a sweet and loving little Panda! And yes, I do mean little. She does seem to be a tiny bit bigger than Bri was at 1 though!

She and Madeline are two peas in a pod! Perhaps we should arrange for them to be roommates? :) Cute pics!

PS. What color/brand of paint is on your walls? I like it!

Jess,
Thanks, but it's not paint...it is a seamless background paper that I use for the "studio" images. It's called smokey gray and I bought it through B&H, but I'm guessing you don't want to tape paper to your walls? :)
I would love to set our girls up as roomies some day!

You have such beautiful girls! And it's great that you can take such fabulous pictures of them, too!
