what it takes ...

To get good pictures of a 15 month old baby:

Not letting the 90* afternoon get the best of you
Food ... Lots and lots of food!
Her favorite baby doll
Allowing her to crawl around on dirty pavement and scuffing her knees up
Being an absolute nerd to get even one little smile
Not getting discouraged by the tears ... Keep trying new things

* I am working on a project that is due tomorrow! I procrastinated ... Something I am quite good at! I will share some of the pictures, along with the reason why I took on this absurd thing in the first place, tomorrow :)
