Another first ever Christmas project for our daughter – decorating a gingerbread house together. She was very excited to help, but it was time for bed before we could finish. Licking the icing off the fingers is, of course, a big part of the experience at this age.
My wife and I took turns taking few candid shots of the house-building process. Our daughter is becoming an experienced model. She was fully aware of the camera, but it did not bother her. In fact, she seems to enjoy being photographed these days. As far as I see in other children, this willingness to pose and relaxed attitude in front of the camera will pass with age. Until it does, I am enjoying the fascinating opportunity to look through the lens at our little girl exploring the world.
