Pictures with Emma

I let Emma get a balloon at the commissary the other day. I had gotten one for a friend's birthday last week, and Emma was very disappointed when she had the give the balloon away. So she was super excited to get her own. Also...taking pictures of Emma is always interesting. I never quite get what I had in mind, and as she gets older, it gets more complicated...she won't look at me, won't sit still, won't smile, wants to see her picture as soon as she hears it click once. I can never recreate what I had wanted to capture...plus I'm not a good photographer. So here is me trying to get a picture of Emma and her balloon..seriously this isn't even half my pictures.

Nice, but too much distraction of my floor and mess.

What Emma does when I tell her to 'smile.'

Tongue, part one.

Part two.

Eyes closed.

Won't sit still.

You mean you don't want me to wave my balloon around like this?

Pretty girl. This was the best one. :)
