Pretty girls

My mom sent these matching shirts for Robyn and Julie. Robyn's says "little sister" and Julie's says "blame it on my sister." Julie's worn her's once, but today was the first time I dressed Robyn in her onesie. She's moving into size 3 months clothes already, and this is a newborn size, so I realized that if I ever wanted to get pictures of them together in these outfits, I'd better do it soon.

This little shoot with my girls marks two important events for us. One: the first time I've gotten pictures of Julie holding Robyn. Usually this is spontaneous, and I don't have the camera around, and she doesn't want to hold her for very long anyway, so this was good. Two: this is the first time I've sat Julie down and made her pose and smile for the camera. She was actually pretty cooperative, and seemed to enjoy it. We'll see if that holds up the next time I try. Check out her faces though -- what a little poser!




This isn't what it looks like. I told her to gently rub Robyn's head, and I must have snapped the photo just barely too soon. She's not actually being repellant, though it is a little funny looking.




This one's funny. She was giving me goofy faces, and I wanted to catch real smiles, not contrived ones. So I started making funny sounds, which did make her smile, until she started making the sounds back to me.

This is what she gives me now when I ask for a smile. Definitely a poser.

Another tight-lipped smile. I love Robyn in this one, though. She's almost smiling and also looking up toward Julie. *love!*



And now some of just the...
