Elena at 14 months

Since Elena's last official pictures were at seven months, I decided that it was time for an update. So, last Saturday, we went to JCPenney and got pictures taken. Her first sitting didn't go well at all. She just sat absolutely still and expressionless, except for an occasional scowl at the photographer. After looking at the results of that sitting, I decided to reschedule for later in the day to try again. We took a few laps around the mall to warm her up to the new surroundings, got some lunch, and called for reinforcements, a.k.a. Eric, who can always get a smile out of Elena. The second sitting went much better. Here are the results - the first three and the last one here are the ones we are getting, the others are just for fun:

Eric thinks she looks like me in this picture.

Silly girl walking straight up to the camera - but I thought it showed a lot of personality

A preview of Christmas Day? Looks like she won't have any trouble. :)
