Cheese

Anna is starting to say 'cheese' when we pull out a camera, still or moving. She stays still for about two seconds, lifts her head up and scrunches her face up and says 'cheese'. It's not her best look and she barely stays still long enough to capture it. As a result, I wind up with lots of blurry shots as I ultimately snap the picture after Anna's broken her 'pose', but it's always fun to see evidence of ever increasing understanding of the world around her. We just bought a new camera so hopefully between its increased speed and Anna's growing understanding of what's involved in taking a good picture, we'll have some better pictures to share over the coming months. I'd especially like a good one in front of the Christmas tree this year. I took over one hundred shots last year and wound up giving out a picture from our summer vacation instead!
