My girl is slowly starting to appreciate the fun of having her picture taken again. I pretend like it’s not the best thing ever, but oh my goodness it really, really is!

“You want your picture taken again?” in my best exasperated voice. “Well ok, but just one (or TEN) more.”

There was heavy cloud cover on the day of this baby’s portrait shoot too. I love how her infectious smile made it feel like a bright sunny day. Now only to find a way to put it in a bottle. Hmm.

Being a little disenchanted with the zoo this time around, when he casually mentioned walking over to the beach I was all about making that happen ASAP. With no beach towels, no change of clothes and sunscreen yet to be applied we headed over. It was her first trip to a beach this year and I’m pretty confident there is another one in our very near future.

With an animal obsessed 3.5 year old (don’t worry we fixed her seatbelt) and multiple zoos nearby, we’ve seen our share of caged up generally dissatisfied animals. But I’m no one to judge the zoos, I’m just saying that’s what I see and when I see unhappy my camera sees unhappy. No thanks to that! On this trip to Lincoln Park Zoo, I made an attempt to capture things a little different. I like these two:

I usually go straight to work after we eat. Tonight it was just the two of us, so when I cleaned up dinner I set her up with her paints. The second I finished I picked up my camera to take pictures of her creating.

She asked a lot of questions about the photographs I was taking of her. She wanted to take pictures too. I handed her my iPhone and we headed to the backyard to take pictures together. When we came inside she said, “Mommy? When I get bigger? Can I always do the stuff that you do so we can be together?”

And, she stole my heart one more time.
