Who would have thought it was so hard to photograph toddlers. :)

I did manage to get a few decent shots though.

    Really cute little guy. Love the background, too! I love the expression in #2.

    Taking pictures of children in general is like herding cats! :D

    Too sweet! I find that if you give them something to do that they haven't seen before or done before, it's a bit distracting and they forget for a short while that you're there. Now getting smiles is the tough part in that case!

    Wonderful shots! Especially for a first timer....
