Marlee's 11 Months

This month I sat Marlee down to take her 11 month pictures just a day after she turned 11 months. She was already dressed in a cute little sundress so I thought getting a few pictures would be a piece of cake. I was wrong!! Marlee did not want to take pictures. So instead of deleting the pictures and trying again later I went with it. One of the things that I love about Marlee, and sometimes am exhausted by, is her determination. She knows what she wants and does whatever it takes until she gets it. This day she didn't want to take pictures and there was no getting around it.

The familiar reach to get a hold of her headband to pull it off. I changed out her headbands thinking maybe the other headband was bothering her. Boy did that make her mad.Marlee got her headband off and took out her aggression on her poor doll. Then she threw Samantha down and tried to push her way out of her chair.Lane tried to help me calm her down and climbed up in Marlee's chair with her. She did smile for a second...Then, we tried to get some pictures in the red chair. Lane showed Marlee what to do.
And she refused to look at me. Stinker

Then she pulled her bow off, for the last time, and waved it at me.

I love my girl! I can't wait to see where her determination takes her in life!
