MonkeyB, I must have missed the picture the last time. Cute kiddo... What did you do to catch that smile or is this a natural model in the making :)

he's a MER-MAN! i set up the exposure before dropping him in. oh, and we bathed and fed him first. usually have to get it right away, or he gets squirmy. i smile at him before bringing my eye to the camera and that usually does the trick.
