Tyler - the super model baby



Today we had our professional photo shoot for Tyler. To make him look smart, we thought it's time for him to take his first sponge bath. Grandma Evelyn did the ceremonial bath because Mommy did not know how to. Man, did he smell yummy or what?



So, as a family, Alan and I were dressed all smart in black while Tyler was in his casual onesie because we didn't know what the photographer had in mind.

When we got there, the photographer said she usually likes to photograph babies naked(not her.. the baby!!). So, we took off his clothes and diapers and walked into the lights. Uh oh.. As predicted, before anything was snapped, Tyler, thinking it's funny, lets go of some massive poo'ing action, making a mess on my new shirt, my pants, all over the backdrop. Geez.. Chaos broke loose with everybody running all over to wipe up poo with wipes and cloth. But as pros go, the show must go on....

Alan and I took turns to have pictures taken with our little star and when Daddy was holding him, he gave a majestic show of pee fountain, reaching about 3 ft!! By then the photographer gave a shrug and said, they'll just wash the backdrop after the shoot.

The photo shoot lasted about 1.5 hrs minus about 15-20 mins of feeding time. It was an attempt to make Tyler go to sleep for a particularly hard shot. But he must take after his Mommy, who loves her pictures taken, refused to sleep. Grandma got her turn for some pictures at the end and requested that her grandchild be properly dressed.

All in all, it was a fun experience and i'm not sure why i didn't take any pictures while we were there. So, we'll all have to wait 2 weeks for those pics to be processed...



Tyler all completely zonked-out after the shoot....
