Picture Perfect

I had some pictures taken of Abby on her first birthday. I know I'm biased, but she is just too cute! We also had her one year check-up, and she was 29 3/4 inches long (74%) but only weighed 18 1/2 lbs (11%). The Dr. said she has to come back in 3 months because she's concerned about her low weight. This was a surprise to me because look at the girl's rolly, polly thighs and her chunky arms in this picture. Also, she eats like a bottomless pit all 3 meals. She's very active, so I guess she's just burning it right off. We'll keep trying to shovel the food into her--meanwhile, she doesn't get to sit in a forward facing car seat until she's gained another 1.5 lbs.














P.S. When I had these pictures taken, Kiddie Kandids said they no longer honor their "milestones" program where they give you a free 8x10 on baby's 1st birthday and 10% off your entire purchase. I wasn't happy. Just wanted you to know in case you were planning on a freebie in the near future.

My niece also was really low on her size. She was 2 before she got to ride in a forward facing car seat! She is almost 2.5 and is still in 18 month clothes.

And for pictures, we did ours at Sears. They have a "BOGO" card and you can get free 8x10s and lots of other things. I really like them...we got our family pictures and Haylee's pics done their this year.

But Abby is very cute in these pics!

I love her pictures. They are so cute. She is a doll. As far as her weigh don't worry about it. Benny only weighed 16 pounds at a year. None of my other kids were all under 20 pounds at a year. She is just perfect the way she is

VERY, very, VeRy CUTE!

I quit going to them about a year and a half ago. I have not been happy with them. They were a lot better when my two older kids were younger. I like JC Penny.
