Oooh, It's Max!

And this little cutie is my nephew, Max. He's 20 months and he's a bundle of fun and heart-melting smiles. And he's talking up a storm. My favorite moment with him this trip was before we left on Tuesday. It was just the two of us outside on a quiet, beautiful Arizona morning. He climbed into my lap, leaned back, and told me a whole story. :)

At first, when I took my camera out, Max watched me with a puzzled look in his eye. I think it's the lens that makes kids curious (the 70-300 VR lens). And then I showed him the picture I'd taken of him on the screen of my D200. After that, he would come over and ask to see the photos periodically. He smiled and laughed and I think he started playing to the camera. Another ham is born! Woo! :)
