Potty Trained! + Apples

Well, I think she's officially trained.  We've had a handful of accidents since we started but not one today and she is regularly telling us when she has to go potty (without promting.)  On several occassions she has even gone by herself and then came to tell me!  The only setback we have is that she is a serious creature of habit.... she was trained on the little potty and so she is NOT happy when I try to get her to go on the big potty.  Here she is telling me how unhappy she is to be on the big potty.




Here she is though, an official big girl!




And here are a few pictures I snapped of Addy today. John Michael is not so keen on having his picture taken right now so I promise its not preferential treatment! She's just a better model right now! :)

Michelle. You have such a gift from God the way you take pictures. You really capture life as it is happening in pictures, which in my opinion are the hardest to do, but the best ones to have b/c you feel like you were there and it takes you right back to your memories. I LOVE the last pic of this post with her making a kissie face. Sooo cute!!!!

Ahhh...what a model you have on your hands! You gotta love those bright, blue eyes. Addy's a natural when it comes to getting her picture taken. Great job Michelle!!

Loving the pics! Especially the first one! I think I have one of Tara posing the same way from back in the day!

Keep up the great work! It's better than any than many photographers here in Knoxville! So, let me know when you are in town so I can book a session! :)

When's the launch of the website? And how's the first week with only one set of diapers to carry around? ;-)

I just realized as I'm reading all the comments that I really want to leave MY OWN, UNIQUE comment... but everyone stole mine!

So I'll put in one more vote for the great logo with the perfect font.

And I'll say, too, that your pictures really are amazing. It's like I want to keep looking and looking at each one because they're telling a story --- and I notice details that I normally wouldn't. The way you shoot the pictures helps me appreciate more of the reality of what I'm seeing. Does that make sense!?
