Do you know how hard it is to get a 10 month old to not only sit still and smile for a camera, but to wear a birthday hat at the same time? It’s hard. And for us, damn near impossible.
The picture that I ended up using for her birthday invitations was a snapshot a few minutes after I ditched the hat and called it quits. It’s a really sweet photo of her grinning at me, probably gloating from getting her way with the birthday hat.
Here are several of the photos that didn’t make the cut.
Maybe next year I can get her to pose for me.
