How To Take Pictures of a Six-Week Old

Not just any six-week old but a six-week old who is going through a growth spurt....

Step 1: Wait for baby to wake up from her nap. DO NOT wake her up yourself, this can only end badly.
Step 2: Feed baby, if hungry. Burp baby and hope she gets all her spit up out now.
Step 3: Dress baby.
Step 4: Undress baby from the adorable outfit you wanted to take pictures of her in because she waited until she was in said adorable outfit to have a blow-out.
Step 5: Change the now fussy baby.
Step 6: Put now fussy baby into another, not as cute but still ok, outfit.
Step 7: Put screaming baby down on boppy and try to get her to stop screaming.
Step 8: Pick fussy baby back up and dance with her singing Baby by Justin Beber because fussy baby has Beber Fever.
Step 9: Sigh a big sigh and give baby what she really wants - her pacifier.
Step 10: Take pictures with paci in mouth. Be frustrated about it.
Step 11: Realize fussy baby is hot and remove top layer (read: cute layer) of her outfit leaving her in a white unisex onesie.

You now have a perfectly content and smiley 6-week old baby to take pictures of.

Moral of the story: baby hates pretty things.
