Have you ever wondered what goes into Ben’s monthly pictures? They were pretty easy initially. He would stay where I put him and even slept for the first few. Then I wanted him to smile and needed him to focus on the area of the camera. Now I just don’t want him to kill himself. He spends most of the time we are taking these pictures trying to jump off the chair or the changing table (his other monthly series). Teague has become my photo assistant. For the bear pictures, he wears the costume seen below and dances around like a fool to keep Ben entertained enough to both sit in once spot and smile. For the blanket pictures, he kneels below the changing table and is ready to jump if Ben so much as moves a muscle. (I did not think the location for those pictures through very well at all.)
