June 11, 2008: Jade's first photo shoot was today. Our neighbor Peter Loosli is a professional photographer and he gave us a free photo shoot as a baby gift. So we scheduled the shoot for today. I thought it was going to be a great day because Jade slept so well and was so happy when she woke up in the morning. However, after getting her out of the bath she just cried and cried. I couldn't figure out what her problem was but she was NOT happy. Peter came over to our house and started to take pictures but Jade just wouldn't cooperate. Peter ended up taking 650 pictures and was here for two hours trying to get a good picture of Jade. Unfortunately we only got a handful of pictures that could be used. The funny thing is that as soon as Peter left, Jade immediately stopped crying and fell right asleep.
I would say it was because she didn't like having her picture taken but in retrospect I don't think she was feeling well that day because after her nap she cried and cried for 3 hours straight. I must admit that it was the first time that I actually had to set Jade down in her room and shut the door so that I could have a few minutes to cool off. She had been crying so much that I just became super frustrated. I felt bad that I was having these feelings about this sweet little girl but I had reached my limit with her that day. I let her cry for about 15 minutes and that was enough. That gave me time enough to reassess, say a little prayer of help, and cool off. That didn't mean she stopped crying. Oh no, she continued to cry until Aaron got home that evening but at least I was able to handle it a little better. I felt so stupid when Aaron got home cause there I am rocking Jade with a tear-stained face and Aaron walks in the door and she stops crying immediately. I just laughed...it was either that or cry again. :) Oh post baby hormones, you've got to love them.
