How Do They Learn this Stuff?

Flash back with me to January of 2008.

That's only 10ish months ago, right? Wow, has a lot changed since then.

I opened my My Pictures folder, and found this little mug muggin' at me. Really, who teaches these kids that this is a "smile?" Somehow they learn because, not even just when it's mine, whenever a camera comes out, our kids bring out the crinkle-your-nose-squint-your-eyes-bare-your-teeth-almost-puppy-like smile. It's often accompanied by a sound that's presumably a version of "Cheeeeeeeese" but without the "ch" and the "s." So basically, "Eeeeeeee."

I'll dig up some of Zach's cheesing, but for now, here are a few of Olivia in January, at almost 11 months. Please excuse the terrible linoleum and especially the flakes of whatever she's scooting over. Maybe it was just something on the camera lens. Let's go with that.

"Eeeeeeee"
Check out those CHOPPERS.

"The view down here's the cat's meow, almost literally, if that were possible!"

Flashbacks are such fun! Your little cheeseball is precious!
