Elusive smiles

Stella smiles a lot now, but like an exotic animal in the Australian outback, it's hard to capture on film. Most attempts are made under poor lighting conditions, or are hurried and poorly framed. Nonetheless, I've attached a couple that get at the essence of her smile.

This winning smile is an important bargaining tool as we reopen negotiations on nighttime wake-ups and feedings. That's right, our previous deal has been scrapped. Sara and I need a better agent.
