A Typical Photo Shoot

Every once in awhile I think, "Man, I really need to take some new pictures of the baby. Poor fourth child. Her infancy is going undocumented."

So I find the cell phone (no real camera anymore, though I'm probably going to get one soon because I hate using a phone that half the time isn't charged or that I can't find) and set the baby up somewhere. And then this happens . . .

The first step is actually getting her to look at the camera. I would say sit up straight, but her core strength isn't really there yet. She can barely stay propped up.

We have eye contact! Maybe we can coax a smile out of her.

Not the expression I was going for.

Then Jack and his giant head arrive, and it's all over.

A pretty accurate photographic portrayal of her life, now that I think about it.
