Last week when we were at the Singapore Science Centre Tiger Girl spotted this footprint on the floor. She promptly stepped on in and said “cheese” indicating that she wanted her photograph taken. Tiger girl is now more vocal and am able to get her desires understood. She too loves being the subject that is being photographed as you can see her trying to blow me a flying kiss in one of the shots from the collage above.
At 15months old she’s a real natural in front of the camera and loves it when I go snapping away at her on my Sony Cybershot. It’s really amazing how fast she is growing up and rapidly absorbing all that I’ve been teaching her.
