Christmas pictures

I've been trying to capture the perfect picture for our Christmas cards. Cameron is four and a half months, and I'm not a photographer so "perfect" is a relative term. Let me take you through the different scenarios.

Picture 1 - Who doesn't love a chunky baby in a santa suit? It's amazing that the clothes fit him, but the hat is cutting off the circulation to his brain. I'm not kidding. He's not really smiling. The hat is pulling all the skin on his face back to give him that permanent botox-like smile. This photo op went fairly well until he discovered the ornaments. Glitter on ornaments + four month old teething baby = shiny gums and sparkling poop. Not very smart on my part but worth it. Picture 2 - So calm and subdued. You would never believe how many times he rolled right off the pillow that is wedged under his head. I also won't give you a number because frankly I lost count. I didn't think it would be that tricky to balance Cam on his side, but he proved me wrong. This was also just minutes before the vomiting incident where my child decided to recreate Santa's beard for a more realistic portrait. (See earlier post)

Picture 3 - Where in the hell did I get the idea that polyfill looks like snow? Here's a better question...why in the hell didn't I learn from picture 1 that my son puts things in his mouth? Now I have a kid with shiny, fluffy poop. None of these made the cut so you'll have to check back for the final few pictures.
