I haven't posted a picture of her in a while. This is my desktop here at work.
She's getting gigantic! I miss her tons.
Show us the best picture you took in 2006.

Of all the pictures I was in in 2006, I think I look the best in this one, and the funny thing is I don't even really think it looks like me. I just like the smile on my face and the way my eyebrows look. Hah. And what's cool is that three of my cousins are in it and they all look like they're having a good time. I'm the girl in the foreground with the dark hair, in case you didn't know.
Of all the pictures I actually took myself in 2006, I think I have to settle on this one as my favorite. (I took MANY pictures of Kayla this year so it was tough for me to decide. LOL.)
Okay, I know all of you must be so over my cute ass niece, but my auntie sent me this picture this morning and it totally looks like a MySpace shot, LMAO. She gets one even before she knows how to crawl!
Show us someone you can't wait to see.
I had no special reason to post this, but I like the angle cause it catches how big LaLa's cheeks really are. I'm glad she's learning her way around a book at such a young age too. =)
Show us a happy memory.

I find it a little unfortunate that most of my happiest memories haven't been preserved in pictures. I would've had the most recent happy memories in digital form if my stupid drunk ass didn't lose my camera that night. In any case, here's what I got.
This was in the summer of 2005 during my biannual visit to the east coast. It was a huge all-day barbecue at what I lovingly refer to as "the compound" (both my cousins live on the same street as their parents -- one in the house next door, the other in the house across the street). My whole family was there, all of my cousins' friends were there, my best homegirl Alison was there, my friend's friend was visiting from the midwest, and my cousin's wife's family was visiting from Chicago, so all the babies were there too. As always, there was a lot of great food, a lot of alcohol, and a lot of tsismising (gossiping) with my mom and aunties. And it was the summer after I'd broken up with this guy I was dating for a year, which added extra fantasticness because I didn't have to stress about him. That day really felt like what "coming home" was all about.
This is when I met my niece LaLa for the first time, August of this year. I can't believe how big she's gotten from this picture, and I probably wouldn't believe how big she is here in comparison to when she was first born. She was two months premature (coincidentally, the same day dude was born), and I think she was close to her actual due date when this picture was taken. She bounced back pretty healthy and I think you all know how much she's grown and just keeps growing. I love the little stinker and I can't wait to see the kind of girl she grows into. Here's a bonus video of her from the day before her christening. She's really smiley (when she's not crying) and is pretty much the most beautiful baby I've ever met.
Show us a candid photo.

It could be candid. Maybe she wasn't posed with a book, maybe a six month old was reading in bed and got all distracted by the flash, right?
I couldn't resist. My aunt and cousin have told me that they say to her, "You're gonna grow up to be just like your Auntie Theresa. Smart and pretty!" Aww. But I know she's aiming for much higher. ;)
Okay, okay, here's a real candid photo of her:
This was in Vegas, the day after my cousin's wedding and the Manny Pacquiao party. My mom sat her in bed next to me while I was waking up and recovering from a hangover. Guess LaLa thought my pukey face was funny.
