Future Photographer

The other night I took pictures of Baby Girl because she looked so cute.  She is so girly I can hardly stand it.  Check it out.  She's cute....and she knows it. 

She stands in front of the oven and smiles at her reflection while cooing "I soooo preeeppy!  Mah hair so preeeeppy!  Mah dress!  Preeeppy shoes!"  Then she sways back and forth.  So sweet.  Yes, I know she's a little full of herself.  We'll just call it self confidence for now.  This week she has been wearing two dresses and just alternating them each day....and night.  She wears them over her pjs.  She wears the "preeeeppy" shoes to bed sometimes too.  I say pick your battles and this is one I choose not to fight.  Does it really matter? 

Where am I going with this?  While I was flipping through pictures on the camera admiring Her Preeeeppiness, I ran across some pictures I did not take.  Exactly FORTY FOUR pictures I did not take.  Here's a sample.  Take a look!

Still getting used to the zoom.

I SAID turn around and say "cheese"!!

Getting better.....I call this "Flowers in Vase"

This is a Christmas miracle!  Even I cannot get her to look right at me when I take a picture.

At least they are not all pictures of the wall....although there are several of those.

Points for creative camera angles (well, I think he's just vertically challenged)

Glad this one is preserved on "film."  It was a wedding gift and at this rate it probably won't last long.

Again, nice angle!

I hope that's a thumb.  Is that Santa's beard?

Some one's getting tired of the paparazzi.  Note the preeeeppy shoes.

You already know who the photographer is don't you?  I have to say I am impressed that most of the pictures were in focus, had a specific subject and were not all of the same thing.  And, at least they were not of the toilet.  Because when I was 10, I took my mom's camera and clicked off an aerial shot of the open toilet.  No, it did not have a lump of coal in it.  That was back in the day when you had to drive to Kmart in your horse and buggy and get pictures developed.  If you were cheap, it took a week.  So, a week later, we found out how many blurry, out of focus, eye-closed shots we had.  Or how many pictures of the toilet.  That week was like waiting for Christmas for me!  I could not WAIT to see the look on my mom's face when she saw that toilet.  It wasn't a good look since I wasted film.

Anyhoo, maybe Middle Child has a career in photography.  And at this rate Baby Girl, can be his subject.....unless her looks go in the toilet.....and then, well, that can be his subject!
