the perfect smile

We bought Baby Emma's airticket to Singapore even before we gave birth to her. Now, it's time to apply for her Singapore citizenship & passport! It might take up to 2 months. But first, we need to take her passport photo when she's alert and happy. Sunlight has to be good too (which is quite rare in Shanghai). We had wanted to wait till after her first month before we try snapping the passport photos.

Last weekend, upon seeing that she's pretty alert, i decided to take some test shots first (w/o changing her out of her polka-dots top into something more "ideal"). We took about a hundred continuous shots because Emma mostly has a very serious pensive look (in 90% of it), with very few of her smiling... When we took similar test shots for Joel, he was a lot cheekier and kept sticking out his tongue. He has this habit up till today. Fortunately, Baby Emma is not like Joel - especially that tongue!

Towards the end of the 100 shots...Viola! It seems we've got our perfect smile in the last picture below! Pretty, isnt it? ;)
