9 Month Photo Session: Is This What Cat Scratch Fever Looks Like?

Well, we’re back home and back to being parents again. *sigh*

Okay, we missed our precious little Avery, but we also enjoyed our time together. Thankfully, G-Ma had a great time with her and survived the weekend!

Thank you so much, mom, for watching Avery and keeping her so happy. I think she’s already missing you, so we can’t wait long until we see you again. I promise, we won’t leave you alone this time! 🙂

It’s always tough trying to get things back in line after coming back home, and we’re still try to get adjusted. I plan on sharing a recap of our 7th anniversary “staycation” along with a review on our stay at the Embassy Suites in Downtown Fort Worth sometime soon, but not yet.

Today, I have photos from our 9 month photo session with Avery to share. Not even an hour before taking these, Avery was “playing” with our cat, Lou, who “played” back by swiping at her forehead. The result was this lovely ~6 inch scratch.

It looks bad, but we were relieved when she never cried. Guess that’s part of being hard-headed, huh? But, I think the scratch affected her in other ways by making her even crazier than she already is.

The 9 month photo shoot was the most difficult yet, and cat scratch fever seems the only logical explanation. Check them out and let me know what you think.

And that’s all we got, just as she said. The session was eventful, as expected, and we can only imagine how the 10 month shoot will go.

Has your baby ever been scratched by the cat or dog of the house? Was it bad?
