Nolan Photos

Getting a picture of Nolan is getting to be more and more difficult. As soon as I get the camera out he's on the run, I feel like paparazzi chasing him around! I have figured out 2 ways to get him though: The most effective option is to ask him what should I shoot. It goes something like this: "Nolan I want to take your picture, what should I take a picture of today?"
Nolan's response, "I want to get really really close to the camera!"
"I want a picture of my car running into my train." 
"Mommy! Take my picture!" through snorts and laughs.
 In this set up he lets me click away until I tell him I got it.

The second option is to surprise attack him.
Click!
Click! This was taken right after he woke up. Miles and I were trying to get a few summery shots in the sun (you will see these pics soon I promise) when Nolan joined us for a post nap cuddle. I love that time each day, right before his energy kicks in again and he runs off.
Click! Nolan figured out that if he plays with his toys on top of the coffee table, Miles can't get to them. Am I happy that he is already not wanting to share with his brother? Nope! But it's pretty smart so I give it to him.
This second tactic is difficult because as soon as he hears the click he is off to hide. So I better have gotten it on my first try cause I don't get a second chance.
