cheeeese

i was taking pictures of lincoln this afternoon. it started out just fine. got a couple of good pictures:

take one:

take two:

and then lincoln started doing this cheesey grin thing.

take three:

it looks like he's crying but he's just cheesing out.

when my camera comes into focus a little light turns on. every time the light came on he was ready for his close-up . . .

take four:

with that cheesey grin and his eyes tight.

take five:

take six:

and he'd do it every time.

take seven:

what a funny kid. he was cracking us up, or as maria would say, "all the way open". i would've thought nine months was a little young to start the cheesey pictures and yet it was unmistakable. he was purposefully making these faces.

man, i love this kid.
