Open your eyes Emma, open your eyes.

Like mother like daughter.
I have a hard time keeping my eyes open for the camera. Over the years, I have learned a few tricks...Emma still needs a little practice.

The following is our actual conversations before these pictures.

"Emma, come take a picture with mommy" (Levi is also in my lap, nursing. He got cropped out of the picture).


"Try again. Open your eyes."


"Emma! Not your mouth. Eyes. Open your eyes. Like THIS"


"Your turn."


"Ok. Close your mouth. Open your eyes."

....getting better.
