Little Mack and me: Shenanigans with the new camera
Our little Mack, or Malachi, was dropped into our lives over 6 years ago by a loving and merciful God who knew that we needed a bit of humor and a little shake-up in our lives. It was a bit of an upheaval to have a baby again in our middle-aged years, with our oldest son newly in college, but I can’t imagine our lives now any differently, of course. Our little man is so much fun. I got a new digital camera not long ago, and I tried to coax little Mack into letting me take our picture together. Here is what happened:

“See, look, I’ll hold the camera and you kiss me on the cheek, okay . . .?”
![""Here. . . c'mon, we can do this . . . just one kiss, okay? It won't kill you."](https://vomitingchicken.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Amys-photos-041-1024x768.jpg)
“”Here. . . wait–don’t look at the camera this time–and my cheek is down here–c’mon, we can do this . . . it’s not rocket science–just one kiss, okay? It won’t kill you.”
!["There ya go! That's what I'm talking about!"](https://vomitingchicken.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Amys-photos-042-1024x768.jpg)
“There ya go! That’s what I’m talking about! See? That wasn’t so tough, was it??”
!["Oh, now don't make me laugh--"](https://vomitingchicken.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Amys-photos-044-1024x768.jpg)
“Oh, now don’t make me laugh–shoot–what’s so funny?”
![Oh, let's try to take one more, now, shall we . . . ? Mack?](https://vomitingchicken.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Amys-photos-045-1024x768.jpg)
“Let’s try to take one more nice one, now, shall we . . . ? Mack? Okay?”
!["Let's just do one more serious one and I'll let you go, okay . . .?](https://vomitingchicken.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Amys-photos-046-1024x768.jpg)
“One more serious one and then you can go play, okay . . .? That’s not very serious, now–“
!["One more nice one, honey, and then you can go play--"](https://vomitingchicken.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Amys-photos-047-1024x768.jpg)
“Just one more , honey, and then you can go play–hey, scoot back here with me–“
!["There ya go--that's nice--thanks, honey."](https://vomitingchicken.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Amys-photos-048-1024x768.jpg)
“There ya go–that’s nice–thanks, honey.”
And with that–have a happy day, you!

What wonderful pictures! I smile like crazy all the way through the post!
Thanks for looking, Caro. Have a great day!
These are great memories, I do believe #5 is the true young man. Thanks for sharing.
William, I think you’re right! Thanks for taking a look!
Sweet! My “little man” is almost 23. I wish we had digital cameras when he was 6- he would have been thrilled. And now, through this blog, you’ll have a (hopefully) permanent record of his childhood.
Yes! There are some advantages to the dizzying speed at which technology changes, eh? Thank you for looking, Alana!
Great pics–truly a boy! Love all the faces… Special moments for you, and some he’ll look at later and wonder.
Thanks for taking a look, Joan!
Great photos! I really enjoyed how you told your story of your son through your pictures. Made me smile. 🙂 Best Regards, Wendy [ Ultimate Blog Challenge)
Thanks so much, Wendy, for stopping by!
What a ham…. Looks like he’s a complete joy! BTW, love the name of your site!
Thank you Carolina! You pretty much pegged my son! He is a ham!
What a cutie. I had my youngest at 39, a shockingly ooops baby since I had to try for a long time to have my girls. He is singing Rick Astley right now in his room, eleven-years-old and loveable and frustrating as ever.
He has high functioning autism, so I have become a Mom barracuda, something I didn’t experience at this level with my girls when I was younger. :~)
Great to read you again!
