Naomi’s Portraits

Naomi will be six months in 2-1/2 weeks.  Today she got her first professional portraits done.  The collage I ordered won’t be ready for a few weeks, but I couldn’t wait, so I made my own to share with a proof sheet I got today.

Naomi’s Blessing Day

On September 5th, Naomi was blessed in church.  She was so sweet during the entire blessing, smiling and cooing at her family in the circle. 

Unfortunately, it didn’t last after Sacrament Meeting, when we were trying to get family photos.  She was hungry and crying.  Here’s what we got:

We’re grateful to everyone who came to share Naomi’s special day.

We love Naomi and are so glad she’s a part of our family!

Naomi’s 1 month photo shoot

When Esther was a baby, I took a photo of her each month with the same stuffed animal to show how much she’d grown.  I’m doing the same with Naomi, and here are some of her one month photos. Naomi was so cooperative during the five minutes I had to snap a bunch of pics.  I think she liked the camera.  She even gave me a few smiles!    I love this beautiful girl.
