Shelby is visiting from Seattle so we can help her celebrate her 4th birthday. She loved the chair I decorated for her, and calls it her birthday chair.



She's very tolerant of her grandpaparazzi, and a good model. And she's agree to give up the Mariners to become a fellow Giants fan.





My little techno-geek.



My other lucky 4 is my 4th granddaughter, born today at 8:30AM. She weighs 7lbs 11oz, and her name is TBD. We'll leave for Newport Beach on Tuesday, and try to help out. Lots of pictures to follow.

Hurray for grandkids! So much better than their parents. Love your photos.

Your black and white shots are great. They really grab the viewer's attention. And I'm saying that from the point of view of someone who usually breezes past kid pictures. Nice job.

The second one (1st B&W) is an absolute winner (they're all good).
She'd melt anyone's heart for sure, but maybe I'm biased, my daughter is turning 4 next month, and it's such a sweet age...

Great stuff! And she is really a cutie.

I enjoy the happy look on her face, what a gem. I find the pictures to have an element of 'calmness'. Must be a good combination of subject, processing and composition I reckon.

She's adorable - her expresssions in the first and third photos are great! Very nice chair you decorated for her.

Thank you all for taking the time to comment.

A very astute observation. I'm lucky times four.

But you need a primary team, just in case they meet in the world series.
