Photo Shoot

Most of the pictures I have of Jude to date are of him sleeping. Yesterday I decided to try and get some new ones of him awake--hoping to catch him smiling, even--so I set him up in our papasan chair by the window and started snapping.

No smiles, but oh my word do I need to compare these to similar photos I took of Elijah around this age in the same chair, with the same catchlights in his eyes...



Before long, Elijah noticed what I was doing. "Mama takes a picture!" Then, "Elijah take a picture." He went running and came back with his camera. I had to step back and take a picture of him taking a picture of Jude:
Notice how he holds the camera backwards, and puts the viewfinder up to the bridge of his nose :)



I got such a kick out of my little buddy taking pictures of his little brudder...had to share.

Adorable! Wow, what a pair of cuties you have. Glad to hear you're enjoying motherhood now.

So cute! What kind of camera does Elijah have? Does it take real pictures or just for pretend. Fisher Price has a tough plastic kid's camera but it's $50 and I don't think my kids are quite ready for it yet, although when they are, I can't wait for them to take pics with me!

Adorable! He looks so much like his brother. My son has a John Deere camera (that unfortunately breaks out into song every time you press the button, ha!) but he loves "taking pictures" like Mom. So cute!

My first thought seeing Jude's picture (in this post) was that it was Elijah! =)
