I took Ava's "8 Month Official Photo" this evening. Yes, she is almost 9 months old. And no, she was not thrilled about my photo taking decision.
In fact, she was downright upset about it.

Then I got a tentative smile. Yes, she has drool all over her face. Cute, I know. :)

After that first smile, it was an "Oooohh, camera!" moment. A very long, very silly moment.

Like the tongue? It's her newest trick. I think it's pretty hilarious.
