First smile captured

[BostonRott]

Its taken me a bit, but I finally captured one of James' wonderful smiles. :smile: Like his sister, they just light up his face and his eyes. Today was also the first time I found a trigger for getting him to laugh. What a fantastic morning we had! :smile:

Thank you Chris and Rich! :smile: Usually he offers smiles while he's lying on my lap.........I've been so looking forward to finally capturing one "on film." :wink:

BTW, if you're wondering about the fluff in the lower corners, this may explain:

I like both of those, Gretchen. They both made me smile, too!

Real smiles and "gas attacks" sometimes present the same!:biggrin:

 

[JessP7]

Those smiles just melt your heart, don't they? He's adorable. I keep thinking about those poor puppies in a few more months...look out ears and tails! Our 8 month old got a hold of a little poodle yesterday, and she would not come near him again...lol!

 

[Phil K]

The smile on the first is priceless, but the "fluff" in the picture also is adorable!

Thanks Nute, Paul and Linda! :smile: He's not quite as "smiley" as Emilie was at this age, to this is a real treasure to me. :smile:

Heheheh, thanks David!!! :biggrin:

Thank you Gordon! I chose B&W conversion to try to downplay that silly warning sticker in the car seat. It would have been WAY too obvious a clone job (not having enough other material to work from), so I thought this the best way to handle it. :smile:

Yes, true! However, these are now real (he's 3mos old).....his whole face lights up, and they're "repeatable" and able to be elicited...........just never when I have a camera in hand. :tongue:
