Smile for the camera

I love taking pictures of my little man...I've constantly got the camera out snapping pics left and right. So you'd think by now, he'd be used to having it in his face all the time....but then again, judging by the number of fights I hear about between celebrities and the paparazzi, I guess you never really get used to having someone follow you around with a camera documenting your every move. But regardless, I'm determined to not miss a single Kodak moment. Anyways, it never fails that he'll start doing something super cute, smiling and laughing and I run to get my camera and as soon as I start to take the picture, he immediately stops smiling, gets this dazed look in his eyes like he's mesmerized by the camera, and that's it. No more smiles. Now I do have a rather large camera, which I got for my birthday. It's a Nikon D40, which is one of the cameras with the really big lens on it that does all kinds of cool stuff that I don't know how to use yet. So I'm not sure if he's genuinely confused as to what the big round thing I'm sticking in his face is and that's why he looks so dazed, or if he's just doing it to make me mad because he knows I want him to smile. I'm guessing it's probably the latter and I have a funny feeling that this is just the beginning of the many things he will do in his lifetime to try to annoy me, but hey, isn't that what little boys are for? We tried and tried to get him to smile for a picture yesterday morning, and as long as the camera was out of sight, he was all smiles. But as soon as it came out, this is the best we could get.
