So, a smile. For me, a toughie. My children are very smiley so there is rarely a picture of them where they are not smiling. And then scanning through my photos, I found a favourite picture from way back. It used to be my signature picture on quite a few discussion boards that I used to frequent so it's possible you've seen it before.
(Sorry about the quality; it was taken on our old camera).
Monkey is about 5 months old in this picture. He had a fish rattle, which became known as Mardy (tennis fans should get the joke). I came into the living room one day, having left him playing in his bouncy chair for a few seeconds and found the rattle had slipped down the front of his vest. It looked funny so I took this. Even at that age, Monkey was a little poser so smiled as soon as he saw the camera.A cute photo, and still one of my favourites, even 5 years on.

ReplyDeleteThat is one beautiful photo and I have a serious attack of broodiness on right now :)

ReplyDeleteThanks Julia, he still has smiley winning eyes now, at 5.
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks Laura. He was a cute baby, that's for sure. (He still is cute now actually...)
ReplyDeleteThanks Emma. He certainly is. (He'd be loving this, if he knew all these people were cooing over him!)
ReplyDeleteThank you, ma'am. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Maggy.
ReplyDeleteOops, sorry Jen. Just remember that they turn into screaming tantrumming children. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kirsty. He loved that rattle and a few other things. He needed lots of different things as his boredom threshold was low. He's still the same now.
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks Mari. I didn't intend to set off broodiness attacks but it seems I have.
ReplyDeleteThanks lovely. I realised it's a toothless smile and you don't get long for that really do you?
ReplyDeleteOh he was, and I'm sure still is, an absolute cutie!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!

Fab pic, Kate :) So cute :D
ReplyDeleteHe's a cutie alright. Shows no signs of getting less blonde either at present. Which is odd, as we are both darker haired but were blonde as kids. Thanks for your comment.
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Suzie. He remains to this day a little poser!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. He's cute now but doesn't like to admit it. ;)
ReplyDeleteYep, lots of babbas this week. Thanks Becca.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nickie. I can't believe how different he is now but yes, still cute. :)
