"She's Four" Photo Shoot

I did a 'three year photo shoot' of Caitie last year, so I decided to do one this year as well, this one being her four year photo shoot. Unlike last time, I didn't have to bribe her with a lollipop. ha In case anyone is wondering, this is how I see Caitie at four years old: She's sassy, funny, imaginative, determined, inquisitive(and how!), sweet(at times), has her daddy wrapped around her little finger, gets cranky and upset with her mama due to the camera I have attached to my face most of the time, and my being the main disciplinarian(see daddy comment above), but I can take it. ha She reminds me of family members on both Michael's side and my side. She likes things clean(hi, mom!), she loves to talk(hi, nannie; hi, lynda!), she loves to build things(hi, jim; hi, david!), she can be sarcastic at times, and likes to be goofy(hi, dad!), boy does she have a temper(hi, randy!)... those are just a few that come to mind at the moment. She does, of course, take after me and Michael as well. She's smart and can be nice at times just like her daddy. She can be manipulative at times to get what she wants, and is a 'little nutty'(as we like to call it), these she takes after me. Lucky girl. Anyhoo... without further ado, here are some pics from the photo shoot...

I realized after I took these pics that it would have been better to have waited until her curls had 'relaxed' a bit before doing the photo shoot(i used smaller curlers this time so her hair would dry faster and i could take pics in decent lighting); her hair looked really pretty later in the evening. Ah well, you live and learn.
