Grady & Audra

Have you ever tried to get a 6 month old...
and a 2 yr old to pose for a picture together?
Food is not a good bribe...it only makes for a messy face and jealous sibling.
You might be able to almost get the perfect shot. Put your dress down dear.
Then you have the occasional super silly monkey routine.
Ok, getting close again, now look over here and smile.
Sometimes it can be just pure chaos.
There is another super silly monkey again.
What the heck is going on here?
At least they are being civil to each other.
I dare you to try to add a pet to the mix. Brooks seems to have it down.
Maybe its best to just get the action shot. Roaaaaaarrrrrrrrrr
Oh well I am sure it will get easier, right?
