Photo shoot disaster!

We took the kids to get their 18 month old picture taken. It was a disaster! Nobody was in the mood for pictures that day. They would take off on different directions when we would try to sit them down with us for a family picture. There was a lot of crying and to top it all up, the photographer wasn't quick enough. Any little chance she had to take a good picture was missed because she took too long to snap it! Grrrrr! We only got one photo with all three and both girls have crying faces. It was very frustrating! I just hope that for their 2 year old picture, they will be more cooperative. These are the very few good shots we got. I guess we just gonna have to be happy with that.
Miss Alea. She was rolling on the floor having a temper tantrum, but this one picture came out of that tantrum. Lol!
At the end Armando would just sit there and stare at the photographer.

Arianna wouldn't give up this teddy bear, but at least she gave us this sweet picture.
We do have a couple of acceptable family pictures, but I’m saving those for later. I might use them for our Christmas cards.

Oh, did I mention that we were at Sears for hours! We tried twice for pictures the same morning. I guess I just gonna have to get over it.

Other than that, the kids are doing great! They are learning so much. They love to throw their arms up in the air and say "all gone" when their plates are empty (most of the time). Also, they can say "guacala" which means "yucky." They love to climb on all the chairs and couches. They are also running, and they love to walk / play outside. Alea says "annia," trying to say "Arianna." Those girls look out for each other. If one of them is crying, the other one would bring her a teddy bear or whatever item Mommy took away. When we're getting ready to go outside, they grab their coats. I'm just amazed that they know which one is theirs (especially with the girls because both coats are pink). I found out that apparently I talk on the phone a lot. Usually when I'm on the phone, I walk around doing something else (putting toys away, dishes, etc.). Well, now my three little monkeys like to grab a toy phone and they walk around and talk, lol. It's so funny to watch. Anytime they are "on the phone," walking goes with it. Hahahaha. They love to copy anything we do. When one start something, immediately the other two follow suit. Monkey see monkey do.

We are almost done with teeth!! Wooohhooo!!! Armando is cutting his last tooth (not counting the 2 year molars). Arianna is cutting the last 3 teeth. Alea has 4 left, but no sign of them showing up.

They are eating everything we offer. I can't complain on that because they are all very good eaters:)We are looking forward to Thanksgiving :) We are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO thankful for our healthy kids. We've been truly blessed:) Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

I had to laugh at the picture taking event since I know EXACTLY how it is! Mine started doing that at 18 mos as well and Rachel was even throwing a tantrum at age 4! For our two-year pictures, we ended up not buying anything the first time and had to go back for another shoot! Trying to get a good picture of all 3 of them alone is usually a nightmare! So. Much. Crying. But, you know what - those pictures you do have turned out fantastic! And one day you will laugh at those crying pictures as well.:-)

Thanks Nik for the encouragement :) I guess I rather have some pictures even if they are crying :) I just hope that this picture taking gets better.
