Smile and Open Your Eyes – it apparently can’t be done!

June 28, 2008 By 14 Comments

I wanted to get a picture of Jake with his cool new haircut.

Just a nice smiling picture.

Here is the first shot I ended up with:

As usual, the kid can’t keep his eyes open when he smiles.

So I tried again..

and again…

and again…

I thought we were almost getting it, and then…

I really think he was losing interest…

Last try and…..um….no.

So, I may never have a nice picture of my son just smiling and looking at the camera, but really I think the goofy faces are much more fun and indicative of his personality!

      Thanks everyone, and thanks for the tips Myra and Alyson. Myra, I’ve seen your photos of your Jake and you put me to shame!
