1.5 years - 1 month = My Baby

It is hard to believe that our "Itty Bitty" turned 17 months old yesterday. She is getting so big, so fast, but she is oh so much fun. You know the routine, every month on her birthday we take her picture so we can remember exactly what she looked like at that time.

She was not wanting to smile when I asked her if I could take her picture.

I kept telling her to go stand over there against the wall, well she did just that...it was so funny, I really just intended for her to stand in the general area.

We finally ended up going outside, thinking she would cooperate a little more. Instead she took off running down the sidewalk and after the dog-dog.

At the end she decided to strike a pose, but would never look at me. It was hilarious...she would squat down, put her hands on her knees and say, "cheese".

It should be interesting next Saturday when we attempt to do her Christmas pictures and our family picture. Any ideas on how to get a 17 month old to sit still and look at the camera, lets not forget smile too? Perhaps I should suggest to my photographer that she dress up like a dog-dog, that would do the trick.
