Meet baby Madilyn. She’s almost 7 months old and has newly mastered the sitting up thing. It’s a whole new world for her! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, I love photographing kiddos at this age, not only because you can sit them down and they can’t get away from you, but also because so much personality starts to come out around then. Madilyn was a sweetheart and completely cooperative, but it definitely took her a while to figure out who I was, why I was all up in her face and why her parents were making her sit in the grass. But wow — those eyes are amazing!

Just checkin’ things out.

She behaved, but wasn’t so much a fan of the grass.

Seriously, those eyes!

So perplexed, but so cute!

I can’t help but smile every time I see this photo of Madilyn & their dog Charlie.

Her cute pink ruffled baby bloomers had her name embroidered on the back.

Charlie was great entertainment!
