Say Cheese!

We take so many photos of my niece Caela. We want to capture her every first, every inch of her growth, her every exciting achievement. We just can't have enough of  her cuteness. Oh babies! They're just adorable! And to add more to our obsession, I pushed my sister to take Caela to the studio and have her first official photo shoot. : )

Days before, we'd have a little practice. "Ready. One. Two. Three." Then she'd show her two lower front teeth and raise her tiny hands towards the ceiling. "Eyes eyes eyes to read a book by....Nose nose nose... Mouth mouth mouth..." Then she'd point to her eyes and nose and mouth. And she'd happily play around. Then we'd show Picachu and Pia (her toys) and she'd play around some more. Smart little baby! Ok. So we guessed she's ready for a picture picture. :)

Now, on her supposedly shining moment, she got sleepy. Then cried. Not the loud and screaming ones but those her trying-to-cry cries. So we still pursued the shoot. We opted to show her toys and sing her songs and she smiled for seconds then returned to trying to cry again. And these went again and again until the photographer said, "Ok. It's done." Good that she was so quick in taking pictures that we actually got few not-crying photos! Yey!

"C'mon now baby. Sorry for letting you do something we really wanted you to do even if it's against your sleeping will." So I hugged her and caressed her and she was alive and smiling and head-banging again! Oh no! This 10 month old little creature has tricked us! Maybe she wasn't really sleepy. Maybe she was just not comfortable with the lights and the flashes and all. 

But anyways, here's the cutest little creature on the planet! (I'm being a little biased here.)
