It’s Not Always Easy

You’ve all seen a variety of Eva’s “Monkey Pictures”. You know? The ones that document her growth next to a giant monkey on a week to week basis? Well, now that she’s to the age where we start counting in months and not weeks, I have stopped posting the pictures weekly because I’m pretty sure no one will care to see Eva’s 32nd week photo.

But that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped taking them.

Not only do I like to take them to document her growth but I also want to showcase all of her cutest outfits, of course.

But I’m here to tell you that the process of getting all of these supah cute photos (as seen below) is not always easy.

Eva's growth photos

Take yesterday for example.

We were all dressed up and ready to go out. Perfect time for a photo shoot.

But I was wrong. Evalyn had other plans.

Plans to play with her hands.

Plans to stick out her tongue.

Plans to hide from the camera.

And plans to be goofy.

Post

No plans to smile.

No plans to cooperate.

So after what you can see was a ridiculous number of attempts, I finally gave up.

We’ll try again next time!

Isn't it amazing that our parents had any good pictures of us on the old film camera where you took ONE picture and hoped it came out good? I marvel at that every time I take 53 billion pictures of Luke to get a good one. And for the record I think the first one on the very bottom row is a very good one! (and if you are anything like me, good luck editing those down for a photo album. Even though they are 'flubs' I still have a hard time choosing between the subtle nuesonces (sp?) of a cute face.)

What a doll! Even though she wasn't totally cooperating you still got some adorable pictures.
