Saturday, September 17 (day 80/365)

Saturday Phoebe had a really busy day.  We started bright and early at 5:45 AM - you can probably guess whose idea that was (hint: Jeremy and I would have been fine starting closer to 8).  Since we were all up anyway, we got our grocery shopping out of the way - Safeway is open 24 hours so it is perfect for people with babies.  After grocery shopping we came home and played for a little bit before swimming. 

We had to leave right from swimming to go get Phoebe's school pictures taken.  She was grumpy the whole way to pictures and Jeremy and I were joking about how we were going to get a bunch of very expensive pictures of screaming baby tonsils.  We dragged Phoebe into the picture room, put her dress on her and as soon as the photographer started talking to her she burst into a huge grin.  Totally hammed it up.  So I guess we aren't so much paying $10 for a 5x7 print of the baby, we are paying 10cents for the print and $9.90 for the photographer magic that actually got our baby to smile for the camera.  Totally worth it. 

Once we got back to the car and changed Phoebe out of her dress, she went right back to being tragic.  She had a rough rest of the afternoon, especially after her nap.  At one point, we finally turned on an episode of the Muppets (a last ditch trick that we pull out every once in a while).  Phoebe snuggled up with Daddy and took a little break.  Daddy snuggles are the best!
