::bashful::

The other day I made Max pose for me outside against one of the cool brick walls we have in our backyard. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the best lighting for portraits outside.

Poor Max, he's so sick of getting his picture taken. He'll barely look at me anymore. And when he does it's so cheesy. And he thrusts his jaw forward all funny so he looks like he's got a big underbite. I still think he's cute though, naturally.

He at least tried to get a little creative with his poses this time, like the kung fu panda fist.

and the boogie--or something, who knows.

Anyway, then our neighbors pulled up. The other side of the backyard has a chain link fence, so we can keep good tabs on what goes on next door.
We have great neighbors. We love them. Max especially likes the little girl neighbor. She's getting close to three I think. She's shy and bashful and sweet. And she loves him. And I mean LOVES him. And he loves to make her laugh by doing goofy things.
He saw them pull up and this is what his face looked like.

Suddenly some genuine emotion!
She was pretty excited to see him too.

Her mom is a photographer, so she's used to getting her picture taken. She's a cutie, right?

I do love seeing and hearing her and Max laugh together, it's really fun. We'll miss seeing them all the time when we move, but hopefully we can still get together.
